Reduce the Weight of Shields

[Phew]

It's easy to catch archers since they made ammo weigh so much.

On siege lately, the trend is for archers to voluntarily jump to their death rather than engage in melee combat. It's pretty pathetic to observe, especially since they added the really good 0-slot swords.

On most siege maps it's doubtful if you need to have both a 2-slot bow and two quivers of arrows anyway; you'll generally be killed and respawn again (with all your ammo) before you actually use them all up. The real reason you feel helpless fighting in melee as an archer is your lack of PS means that all your attacks glance, if you manage to make any.

As to shielders, I don't want to see them buffed any more than they already have been. The pre-upkeep days of battle servers belonging to two handed hero tin cans are long gone.

Hmm, pure archer? 18/18 6ps, 6ath, 6pd grab 50-80 wpf in your chosen melee spec.. & should be good.

I'd personally prefer 0 or maybe 50 at the most WPF in your chosen melee skill.  I would prefer to put it all into archery, but I'd def make sure to get as much PS as I could (likely max it out)
