Well, I was going with a Hornbow and an MW Langes Messer before, and even then I glanced all the fuckin time (also I lost 250 k to upkeep with that gear so I had to change spec due to beeing broke)...but for the 0 slot one hand swords...they glance even more than the pickaxe on heavy armor since they do cut dmg .
I dunno if you ever played archery, but as it is now you definetely need your prof there. I believe, spending any points on melee is a commitment, not many archers even want to do. For me, under 160 wpf my arrows fly anywhere, but not where I want them to:-) But maybe thats just me.
Maybe I have have just been out for too long and need to adapt I guess, if I am the only one who feels that way.
Cheers for ya input anyways.
Atm I'm 18/15. WPF split evenly between 1h and archery, about 110ish in each.
I'm not gonna be more accurate that super pure archers, but think, who's my main target? people standing still on their own, or large bodies such as mass players or cav?
The latter, hence I don't need a pin sized reticule. And when they too close, 6PS and broad short sword is perfect.
Pure archer is dead. Be like xbows have been forever, hybrid a little. It'll pay off
