San - any word on this? Are strength archers nerfed or is the calculator inaccurate?
Strength archers are buffed. The 96 is from the PD reduction, no need to apply it twice. Strength archers before would've had ~40-50 after it before with lower level builds.
The old armor penalty for ranged was ((Effective weight - 10)^1.12 ) * 2.5, which hurt strength archers the most. The new one is based off your original wpf, 1.5x the melee penalty, and changing 10 to the new threshold. The penalty is overall lower than the old one. If you have 170 wpf, 10 effective weight now gives you a 17 wpf penalty when before it would've been 25. 139 wpf, typical for a strength archer, would have a 14wpf penalty. So if you're ranged, don't be afraid to grab some IF and wear medium-light armor.
It's good to remember that 1 point in PD increases your accuracy by the equivalent of 20wpf, the reason for the PD penalty. The -3 damage from bows also essentially gave them +2 accuracy, so they're even more accurate now.
