Archey Accuracy

Ages ago, I wrote a long and extensive guide on Archery.  It described what was once a fairly straight-forward tradeoff of damage vs. accuracy.  Then chadz changed EVERYTHING about archery, and ever since I've been too lazy to experiment and try to figure it all out again.  I've seen plenty of discussions about the best bow or the best build, blah, blah, blah......I have one very simple question that I'm hoping someone can answer with actual proof instead of hearsay.  What is the best way to optimize accuracy as an archer as of the most recent updates; i.e. what is the MOST accurate archer build with respect to PD, WPF, and bow used?  And by this I mean reticule size.  I want a reticule that settles to a point.  Someone tell me how to do it.   :wink:

Use sniper crossbow + 180 wpf.

But if you want archery...

I have no fuckin idea. It seems that at the moment Strong bow is the most accurate, but I am not sure.

I hand out headshots all day on my alt using the Khergit Bow, 18/18 archer with 5 in IF and 5 in PS for 1hand sidearm (no prof). Fairly small reticule at 154 prof, can't wait to retire to a horse archer and go 173 prof.

Pics of one of my archers  PD 5/Wpt 161 with fine-strong bow, kergit and nomad bows. The reticle closes for approx (but noticeably different) 1 sec, 1.5 sec and 2 sec respectively.

In a little while I can post a PD6 archer with similar wpt.

Here are pics of my PD6 /wpt 161 dvs (18/21 so far) archer:

Hope that helps/

That build works extremely well, though I put my spare points in Iron Flesh not PS so I could take an additional arrow or small blow before going down. I think I had 5 points?

Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.

I imagine that leaves little for athletics, around 3 or so. Do you run and gun, or stick to mainly one position at long range?  I would be afraid of being overrun with melee (not good with a 0 slot weapon and no PS)

Those pics of the PD6 archer are interesting. The low end bows have noticably tighter crosshairs, despite having a lower Accuracy stat. That seems to indicate that Power Draw above the requirement of the bow increases accuracy.

That has something to do with that a higher accuracy will only make a difference if you have the wpf to achieve that, hence why the longbow is such rubbish as it has a high base accuracy but you need an unreal amount of wpf to exploit it.
