Show me how archers are nerfed. The average damage went up with everyone using Longbows. More damage from a random stray arrow in the head than a Long Bardiche to the face. Biggest stagger in the game regardless of damage dealt. Loads of great 0 slot weapon options. Everyone got a speed boost last patch so your small amount of weight is not hindering you as much as before.
Make the ranged mechanics have >10% of the depth of melee mechanics and maybe then you can start having kiting as well. Until then they need to be more like melee guys with some support ranged damage, or other ways to limit the cheese factor. Ranged is crutch mode for players that don't want to be challenged in pvp, its freaking lame
EU1 is already a shield fest now and it dilutes the combat. Hold right mouse to block any direction, with no stamina mechanic so nothing stopping people turtling. The majority on the battlefield should be melee, with some cav and some of all other classes. But not super easy mode ranged fest, its boring
