#ROBIN HOOD THE LEGEND OF SHERWOOD KICKASS PLUS#Plus they are tanks, their board shields protect them from responding hail when they reload. 2nd off, Rhodok snipers using xbows can single-handedly win sieges, expect to get 50-200 kills before you even send your sergeants up the ladder, depending on fortress type. RoF at skill 400 is probably 2.5 draws per sec, causing RSI. Now, a masterwork warbow in the hands of a strongarm build with 10 power draw and +3 arrows will one-shot anyone but a king decked out in lordly fullplate. A total newb using a starter bow with bent ammo can headshot an armored vet for 80 dmg. But the ranged king in Ultimative is the xbow necro, boasting of a skillset mixing in sniping, SMG and shot-gun firing modes.ġ) Warband - OK, this is it! THIS IS IT! First off bows far outstrip xbows as the latter only do flat dmg. #ROBIN HOOD THE LEGEND OF SHERWOOD KICKASS MOD#The Median XL: Ultimative mod turns them into glass cannons, but they can clear out areas in a couple of clicks - fastest killers I ever saw in any game. Make two.Ģ) Diablo 2 - Bowazons were a whole lot of fun, but the letdown was they were so loomingly overshadowed by lightning javs. Make them out of rare materials like duskwood and zalantar, deck your low lvl slobs out with them (yep, even spellcasters), and mowdown rag-tag mobs before they even get to your meatshields.ģ) Temple of Elemental Evil - General consensus seems to be ranged weapons suck in this game, but holy axiomatic or icy-burst +3 longbow on max-INIT buffed elven archer with all the right feats = dropping behemoths like hill giants before they can even raise an eyebrow. The only problem is that the cheesy side of my gaming brain calls for it's use a little too often.Ĥ) Storm of Zehir - It's the solid crafting mechanics in this underrated expansion for NWN2 that ensures bows + xbows shine. A shame he can't be recruited earlier, but he gets some use when farming XP down in Under Sigil.ĥ) Gothic 2 - Just like in Dark Souls, a player who specializes in melee will still nock an arrow and make a bow sing, every now and then, because the design is thoughtful and the game logically at times calls for it's use. Annoyingly, archery was nerfed in Baldur's Gate 2 but an archer prestige with Firetooth xbow (ToB) or Gesen will still tear through the field and drill down bosses to death with Greater Whirlwind, real fast.Ħ) Planescape: Torment - WTF? Oh I see you forgot about Nordom! The only companion with missile weapons, means he must be mentioned with adoration. I presume forests got chopped down to supply my guys with arrows. Coran, Khalid and Kivan can be specced to be lordly archers. You can have ma圆 archers in your party, who can get several attacks per round, hasted - that's every 3 secs on 60 AI updates - firing detonation arrows which have fireball AoE/dmg. Tranquilizing "terrists" for non-lethal silent takedowns is very satisfying and faciliates the stealth approach for which Deus Ex is famous.ħ) Baldur's Gate - Bow-wielders start off with two flat attacks per round, enemies are weak, enemies move slow, enemies get pin-cushioned. There are much better bows in DkS.Ĩ) Deus Ex - When I get to choose between a GEP gun and mini xbow, I choose the latter. This dragonbow can be used by the player later, though it's largely a gimmick short of long-range knockdown sniping in PvP. Enemy archers can be extremely frustrating, I cite the knights wielding dragonbows who fire SPEARS which knock you down into oblivion. There's nothing like chaining staggers together on a tanky opponent, knowing that if the next shot fails to stagger, you're one-shotted. Melee opponents in PvP who are killed by staggering headshots will rage hard and call you cheap. Providing you spec right and are skilled at headshots you really shouldn't hit many speedbumps in the single-player game. Then things get interesting.ĩ) Dark Souls - I love this game, the mechanics are wonderful, if I may be allowed such a term. #ROBIN HOOD THE LEGEND OF SHERWOOD KICKASS INSTALL#Morrowind's archery was over-balanced (read: weak) unless you fetch that daedric bow early and install the official plug-in that gives AoE arrows. Expect to get 4 extra plinks at a knocked down enemy before it can get back in your face. You have bowzoom, high RoF and couple that with high sneak and knockdown perk, you're untouchable. 10) LOLblivion - Starting off with a joke entry, but archery on a stealth build is mildly entertaining for a few hours due to how broken it is.
