Is WPF as worth it - where's the balance at now?

How do I calculate actual WPF and/or accuracy?

Since the patch I've used 18/21 18/24 24/15 30/12

Best is 18/24.

edit: I like all the builds, managed to get at least a 5:1 K/D on all of them on more than one map but they're all still shit.

It may be psychosomatic (addict insane) but I found my 18/24 noticeably less accurate (than before patch). Wondering if 21/21 would now be better?

it is less accurate yes, but still the best.

180 wpf now feels like 170 before the patch.

Just quickly tried on STF... 21/21 vs 18/24 .. didn't notice much difference in reticule size on initial draw, and 18/24 only just had noticeably longer hold time - it was more obvious with low PD bow like Tatar (vs Bow).

Hmmmmm.

Dunno, i've never used anything below a horn bow. Anything below it is just a waste of time.

the best archery build after this archery massacre is: take a break/ run fast.

After a couple of months you have forgotten what things used to be in the glorious past and the - short - golden ages of archery that even c-rpg has seen (difficult to remember though...) and will re-adjust to whatever joke archery has been made into until then.

ATM the contrast is too big for me to enjoy arching, so I have a closer look at real life instead, needed some activity anyways.

oh man, the tears, they taste....so salty, but so good. If you played archery as anything other than a quick funtime way to troll ppl, you really are a tard, it was never difficult, nor was it ever anything but a cock in the arse of this game.
I don't know enough

Hearing it is so shit compared to before makes me glad I am not able to play for a while.
For all the non-believers, look no further than this thread for proof that while strat battles are won/lost in NA3/EU3, strat wars are won and lost on the forums.

Btw, this man has a constant 230 ping or higher on NA, where he plays. He doesn't cut and run away from people trying to melee him, he'll do his damndest to fight even with Aussie-tier latency.

So don't give Hirlok shit. He's the least niggardly archer that there is in NA.

Exactly. Some of us player archer for ping reasons. Basically the only way we can play without getting shat on. You my old friendcher whiners GTFO.
And kiting, jesus christ. Get over it or get some agi.

I WILL take Hirlok's advice - got a months holiday coming up to see some of the world (and get warm). I pray to all the gods that my cRPG addiction is OVER by the time I get back.
