Bring back Yumi to 1 slot weapon

[Suedehead]

 - Why?
It was 1 slot for quite a long time, and i can not find anyone complained about before - if such complaints exists, point it out. When it was changed, i can't find a lot who enjoyed the change also - this weapon is so little-used that looks like no one cares about. So if it is works ok and there weren't any balance issues connected with its "length", maybe there wasn't much point to change it - maybe, it will lead to a big balance problems in the future, who knows? Maybe, it is better to return it back to its state?

Also, i have personal interest in such back-up, because now i can't use polearm+Yumi+bodkin arrows build, and it is dissapointing

Boar Spear + Yumi + Bodkin = 4 slot. You can even bring another set of barbed arrows with you. Yumi is the strongest HA weapon currently, thus it has some negative sides as well.

Now now, be kind.


Suede, this change was purely based on Horse Archery balance, since Yumi was the main HA bow due to it's stats. Putting it back to 1 slot isn't an option in my opinion.

Maybe a better response than mine, but yeah the point is there.

Boar Spear + Yumi + Bodkin = 4 slot.

I can log in now and i don't remember the stats, but AFAIK Boar Spear is weaker by then Battle Fork i currently using, and if it is 1 slot, it should be shorter then BF, defense with it against cav will be quite hard.

Yumi is the strongest HA weapon currently

And are there appears a lot HA with Yumies around now? Latest i played right after patch of destiny were issued, there wasn't a single main HA with Yumi playing regularly. And before that also, all pure HA regulars from EU1 - Spjut, Pesman and else use horn bows. The only HA i can moreover remember was Ariel_the_little_Mermaid, but with Yumi on charger - it was alt or STF for sure. Almost all of the time i was the only person with Yumi on the battlefield. It is too slow to be good for HA.

In 0.4.1.0 other bow's stats were changed as well, it doesn't make Yumi the "strongest HA weapon"

All 2013, 2014 - 1 slot Yumi, no one gives a fuck about, all is ok, no complaints, suddenly it changes now - why? Maybe, balancer knows better, but i confused

It's longer than the battle fork, four-directional, great on foot, but quite a shit stab for a horseback polearm.

Also you might want to rethink if you actually need the bodkin arrows for anything. If the enemy has less than 60 armor, you'll deal more damage with tatar arrows or even barbed arrows. Depends highly on what you target, which is more effective.

[Viriathus]

You can use a 2 slot polearm and use barbed arrows, wich are 0 slot.

Usually most of the people playing (at least when i played back then) were kuyak/other heavy armor heroes, and tin cans up on the plated horses like Mircea, there is no much choice. And against <60 like pure archers or agi builds this hybrid will loose

And still, is Yumi really became the main HA bow now?

[Finse]

So what individuals choose of what bow they use is something to do With the fact its the most powerful...


Might be the fact they have a personal preference

[Suedehead]

1-slot again.
Thanks to the developers
