So does archery ever get any better?

[Hestus]

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.

Aim at peasants for great success!

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.

[PhantomZero]

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?

Just 1 minute?

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

You clearly don't play with enough LLJK.

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.

Lately their presence has thinned.

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.

[Hestus]

What's a good spec for a lancer? I see those guys murdering everyone all the time, everywhere.

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

[Gorath]

require more than 2 shots.

OH GOD FORBID THAT FIRING AN ATTACK FROM NIGH COMPLETE SAFETY AND IMMUNITY FROM COUNTERATTACK TAKES 2+ SHOTS TO KILL WITHOUT A HEADSHOT!!!!  THE TRAGEDY!!!!!
