Bow need up

[Banok]

grey was raping face on one of the empty servers, although I dont remember him getting kills with bow mostly 1h sword and no shield ;)

[Grey]

Yeah bow is OP when theres few people.....So I just cut ppl with Knifey, the Niuweidao, but since I got 70 1h and 40 2h, I use langes messer and katana also, all the fast weapons, Iron Mace also, just to get the edge back on dedicated melees

[B3RS3RK]

Bows arent OP for the following reasons:

-VERY cheap equip, you are making easy money as archer.
-Low speed and damage.It´s hard to kill much as archer, you are somewhat more a support class.
-High WPF investment before effective.You really need high agi as archer with almost exclusively WM-points invested in Archery to get good accurate.


Crossbowery and throwing need very slight nerfs imo, Bows are fine.

[Boss_Awesome]

Cut damage on bows is just stupid and makes absolutely zero sense.  The rest of the nerfs should balance them properly but i just can't get my head around cut damage on an arrow.  (which also makes bows only do double instead of triple damage on headshots...)

[ThePoopy]

the thing is; cut deal dmg as pierce should, blunt is kinda good as it is, then we have pierce....

[Grey]

Im fine with leaving cut for bows, EXCEPT if its possible: When using bodkins, keep the + dmg at 2 BUT make the attack PIERCE....
dont know if this can be done....

[Beleidiger]

Actually the Game goes to much in an no Realism way and thats poor!I am Fine if the Damage scale from Bows get lowered but cut Damage with a Bow!!!???

In same like the Talking about Mirror Damage by Tking thats Really nonsense i was Playing M&B because realistic Game play but the new things are nonsense!

Kesh, good archers only need 150-160 wpf to be deadly, even with 6 PD. Sometimes with even less PD.

I have no idea what your issue seems to be with it.

Well, with the current soft cap at 150, I find that it isn't that difficult to shoot people with a warbow.

i can say that person is skiled only in native , those archering not even clost to native  and if you play cRPG more then in native you can rlly loose your skill) plz fix it give archers more wpf

[Heroin]

throwings and xbows much deadly, i am 6 IF and brigandine and dieing 1 bolt with siedgexbow

lies

[StanleyPain]

It's not lies, I have 5 IF and am getting 1 shotted in light and med armor. That's fine, xbows take forever to reload and it's easy enough to interrupt them on the reload. Bows as of the latest patch are good, I'm enjoying myself as an archer again. Managed to get 18 kills to 10 deaths which I think might be a personal best for me ;)

THAT may not be lies. But 6 IF in Brig getting 1-shotted anywhere but the head is.

I have a dedicated xbowman with 135 proficiency in xbow, using a siege xbow. The only people I 1-shot are nakeds/light armor, or headshots. Everyone else either needs to be hurt already, get shot again, or get finished off with my sword.

[Whalen207]

Everyone already uses Bodkins.
As Lv. 28 Archer I know these things.

And Archers only make big bucks due to the requirement of cheap-ass armor, mmkay?
 

[Deathwind]

I used barbed or khergit arrows.
