Magic does more damage than archery?? www.idarkfallgold.com Get a better bow please?? Against a guy in scale, magic can do ~40 damage front tops with everything maxed i believe. A good bow can probably reach 50-60. Plus archery is faster to shoot.
With mages having the ability to jump cast and chain nuke fireball spells that knock people 100 feet into the air, melee has become a completely useless (primary) tactic in PvP. Along with this, archery is also useless in combat because of magic’s splash damage. www.idarkfallgold.com You don’t have to aim with magic and you still hit for more damage then someone using a bow with 100 sharpshooter and mage killer purchased(big regret) and hitting someone with a tiny fucking arrow. The damage on archery and melee needs to be buffed up in order for melee and archery to be a contender with the damage output of a mage. It is absolutely absurd trying to fight in this game without having elemental magic abilities.
It really depends on who you fight. Some Mages can’t jumpshot/run properly and you can stick on them and melee them down,www.idarkfallgold.com but there are some that will always keep you off of them and there’s virtually nothing you can do to get them into melee range unless you get really lucky or they mess up.
Also, as for a bow hitting 50-60 vs magic hitting ~40…? Magic pretty much always hits for about 40, and I can think of only very few instances where archery would hit for 50-60, and nowhere near as common as magic hitting for ~40. Most average shots won’t hit anywhere near that.
