Archery for Strategus

[Rhekimos]

I guess.

I don't think the archers enjoyed it either. At least that's what I heard from archer clanmates in the same fight.

That is the whole premise behind my MW Nomad bow build. it is fun as hell. Well, unless you need to satisfy your e-peen with a high k/d ratio for bragging. Me, I'm satisfied with rolling x5 while I buff my teammates k/d.

I lose my years for this game and  u say to me "u are support class". Who wants play a support class? OK give me to a free respec! Its new nerf and I did not know this class will nerf in future.

Look real wars, archery isn't support class. Mostly one shot = one kill. But in CRPG all tincans looks like hedgehog. I cant understans how can move this tincans with 20 arrow? Its look painful.

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

+3 rus bow
+3 bodkin arrow

I get kills with only 3 PD, a +3 Nomad Bow and +3 arrows (normal). Some arrows will bounce off of tincans, but not all. Certainly with higher PD they don't nearly as often. You are either A: really bad or B: killing teammates and losing kills or C: you are exaggerating for effect.

Grannpappy you're HA now though, right?  OP is over-exaggerating, but at the same time HA speed bonus & high horse archery skill can probably achieve higher damage than a foot archer.  I don't know how feasible 3 PD is for a foot archer unless they solely focus peasants or headshots.

Right now I am, but that doesn't mean I haven't done a full generation as a foot archer with a Nomad bow and 3 PD and done just fine. Besides, if you think that being on a horse makes a 3PD +3 Nomad bow with +3 normal arrows more powerful than 8PD with +3 Rus and +3 Bodkins, you my Shiny friend, are crazy in the head

Never in the history of c-RPG have I or any Fallen I know feared the sting of a HA's arrow more then a normal archer. High HA skill helps accuracy, your damage is murdered by using a smaller bow, being unable to spare the normal amount of attributes and skill that a normal archer has due to sinking into HA and Riding, and that even high HA skill will still leave you at a noticeable damage penalty.


Only at the best of times, the rarest of times, will the HA do more damage then an archer (who would have to be a horn-bow toting accuracy build), and even then you could simply brute-force higher damage from a ground archer if the ground archer ever wanted comparable accuracy to a HA and use the saved points to have a crapload of PD with a rus/longbow.

[MrShine]

I should have clarified my earlier post: what I meant was that a HA can achieve more damage than a foot archer of equivalent PD.  The speed bonus changes probably helped bring HA a bit closer to foot archer damage in general, but yeah I'm in agreement that foot archers in general have the capacity to output more damage.

I'm mostly just surprised that Grannpappy can get away with 3 PD... that seems masochistic

Archery aint a support class.

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...

If that is so you're just bad I got 6 PD btw.

[Mr.K.]

Do NOT buff Bagge. FFS, this my old friend rapes anything that moves on strat. If you can't aimboat, be a 2H hero.

Archery is fine. It's UP as shit, but a pro's like Bagge still pwn. Deal with it.

Absofuckinglutely not you moron, there's been tales of Crusaders with arrow stuck in them and said Crusaders just walking around, their armor protected them, whilw with plate armor the arrows would be bouncing back, they barely feel the arrows.

uneducated...

[Bobthehero]

Yes send me a link in moonspeak and try to educate me, right.... right...

Edit: The test at the end is done so horribly wrong the only thing I want to do right now is punch your face in, how can you not notice all the flaws you moronic fuck face, no seriously, they take a single metal plate without and gambeson, and then fire an arrow and call it a day.

Went 39/18 with 6 PD in the only strat battle I played as archer. It was a +3 horn bow, would've preferred a +3 long bow. I had to repeatedly jump and chop down ladders as an archer because some teammates wouldn't do it.

Point being?
