Hirlok, you were always way better with the bow than you were with that sword, and I always though it was ridiculous that an archer carried a 2hander. Stick with what you excel in. Archery isn't nerfed anymore than anything else, just go dedicated archer. Strong Bow or lower and 3 arrows (or 2 and a 1hand- worked very well for me in my time as a Strong Bow archer), War or Long bows with 2 quivers. And you can carry no melee weapon at all and still go for the flag, distract and disorient the enemy, get them to teamhit. Nicotine (who uses no melee) has done this many times that I've seen, with hilarious results.
