Archery for Strategus

[OttomanSniper]

I collect 250+ points in game but only kill 2 player.

LVL 35
26str
8 Power Draw
150wp
+3 rus bow
+3 bodkin arrow

Too many shots bounced with this build. I get 10+ headshot but never kill with HS

How can you explain this s*it? I play this game from CRPG start and never see like this. Devs u are really...

I dunno. Saw an archer named Vick get ~54/14 in a battle with medium-heavy armor everywhere just yesterday night. Could have just been a bad day or just an unfortunate choice of targets.

[OttomanSniper]

no i dont miss shot a lot of but my arrows dont give damage. my shots only works on make point.

i hear only bounce sound.

Edit: i can damge all tincans in eu_1 but i dont feel same power in the strategus war. why?

[CrazyCracka420]

Well you were clearly causing damage if you had 250 score...

In strategus people tend to have higher armor, and it wouldn't surprise me if you were fighting people who had all +3 armor.  You don't typically see 100% of the people in EU1 (or NA1) playing in heavy armor that is all +3

Anecdotal evidence is an oxymoron.

Isn't archery damage less in strategus battles then in battle servers, or was this change reverted? Either way, there is no way all of your shots are bouncing with 8pd.

I thought I remember hearsay about that, don't know if it was ever implemented (or reverted if it was).  Sure hope that's not the case...

I remember talk about archers in strat having reduced damage & accuracy but increasing their firing speed to support archer volleys and stuff.

I don't think that ever happened, so I doubt archers are any different in strat than they are anywhere else.

Archers now work with 170% speed and 50% damage, team archers withing a small area give +10% damage to that (should show with a debug message for now, for testing purposes)

This is what the archery change that was implemented for strat is/was. I am not sure if it has been repealed since then, but it was active for a time.

It was removed almost immediately because of massive QQ

It was pretty silly. 3 archers could keep me in permanent ranged stun.

Stunned because it was awesome!

At any rate, 3 cavalry can keep you on perma-knockdown, 3 infantry can keep you perma-dead. 3 anything against you solo is bad news for you.

Why do you think that the game should be balanced with you vs 3 of any class in mind?

[Rhekimos]

They didn't do any damage though. I survived about 30 shots and went to heal at the tent.

[Rumblood]

That's good. It makes them a support class. While you are perma-stunned, a 2H hero should have come along and chopped your head off
