So does archery ever get any better?

Currently I'm:

Level 27
24/15
143 Archery
8 Power Draw
5 Weapon Mastery

Equipped with:
Khergit or Strong Bow
Bodkin arrows

I have no problem hitting people, but it seems that even people in light armor require more than 2 shots.

Yeah. Peasants are insta-kills. Unfortunately they do not make up the bulk of those that I encounter.

I don't know if I can link the video; But a man in Brazil, i nthe hood was shot four times with an arrow before he fell down. A -very- graphic video, just search for it.


Point is. You can't one shot people.

I vote for Hestus to just win every battle. There wouldn't even need to be a fight. It just ends after a minute so everyone can spawn in.

We can rename the mod Hestus Always Wins.

Fair enough, but let's also consider the fact that taking a barbed arrow to the vitals would be somewhat critical.

I was just curious if anyone noticed a significant difference at, say, Power Draw 10.

Im having great success on my archer alt with 24/15 build and strong bow. Dunno what archers whine about, archery is more than strong enough as it is. You might get an okay K/D ratio, but the damage you deal out spread across alot of people is more than most other classes can, and your supposed to be a support class, right?  :wink:

Just 1 minute?

That's not nearly enough time for LLJK to voice spam, team wound or grief...

Do you have any skill points spread out to things other than Power Draw/Weapon Mastery?

I'm curious if I should stick with PD 8 and start dumping into Athletics and such.

I have a 2nd gen archer. It sucks. I made a pure 2H alt and went 30-9 at lvl23 with highland claymore+padded jack/leather. Reroll and you'll have more fun than you've ever had with your archer.

Most of us are currently living off relatives, friends, parttime-jobs or savings, to be able to work as much and cheaply as possible.

Yeah, full powerdraw and WM, 6 powerstrike and 4 athletics. Was supposed to be 5 PS and 5 ath, but I screwed it up  :P
Can melee quite well with 1 wpf langes messer, and pd8 + strongbow is a beast.
