Nerf Longbow and Crossbows (And give back old textures on bows!)

[Rogue_Eagle]

longbow may be a tin can killer, but whenever I'm up against a longbowman with my strongbow I'm pretty confident.

Because longbow takes a lot of skill, something that most of these longbowmen don't have. So they're food for every other archer.

About as much skill as a crossbow, but the longbow has better aim.

LMAO. Wait, are you trolling me or are you really being that wrong not on purpose?

Miight have something to do with those Chaos fellows wearing a crapton of armor compared to what we archers use, and thus get clubbed senselessly with the wpf restrictions.

At the practical limit of 7 WM at 30th level, the longbow does not have as tight of a reticule as an Arb' does, but if I take as much armor with my Arb' character as most people do then yeah the Longbow has a better reticule.

Longbow is the bow for archers that know how to aim abit and not just point & click machegunnin' let it keep its power.

I use an arbalest on my main with 160 wpf, and I tried out a skip to 30 dedicated archer with a longbow at 160 wpf, with the same amount of armor that I use on my xbow, and the longbow reticle was better. The longbow can fire faster obviously, and with enough power draw can do the same amount of damage. So no, I'm not trolling.

Yes ! + 1 ! Totally true ! With 15 PD it deals the same damage ! Nerf longbow !
No, i'm definitely not trolling.



Edit : Why would people be confused at my trol argumentative post ?

Each point of PD adds 14%, for anyone confused about the last post...

Crossbowing got too easy. My reticule was ridiculous with a MW Arbalest. Here is my end all crossbowman build. Play naked, have fun. Archers cant do shit about it. When they stop to take aim at you, just let go of the mouse. I am also selling my MW arbalest if anyone wants it. I am going longbow/warbow now.

Nerf Longbow,
Buff Warbow!
(And give back old textures!)

Yes, Please Shik, give us back old textures...

[polkafranzi]

Warbow had it's time (approx 9months), now time for Longbow to shine for a bit longer.  Just switch them on site and everybody will be happy.

Thanks POOP, thats a nice link.

After a week of testing, I found out that my xbow character was already way too powerful at lvl 22. This guy has a closed crosshair and deals a heck of a lot damage per bolt. As I edited in the first post, DaveUKR can onehit people with his MW Arbalest. A lot f xbowmen have suddenly appeared in crpg, ranged spam is back.

The longbow is no different, it's like a non loomed arbalest with a semi-auto feature, not to mention that running and jumpshooting is still ingame.

I say nerf the damage on both weapons, or nerf damage on the xbows and accuracy on the longbow.
