Tab Target Melee and Action Combat Archery + ?

[CTheRain]

First off I'm curious about the difference here. Why is melee more tab target and archery free aim? Is having melee tab target a design choice or was it just chosen in legacy to help the server load?

I've always felt H&H would be nice with action based combat. Weapon ranges, weapon attack speeds and implementing combat maneuvers as buffs. Needing to block in certain directions to block attacks. Parry would be useless due to lag. Attacking would get the freedom archery currently has.

I'm fine with the current system though. Wanted to ask something for archery and that's what quality bow, marksmanship and perception should I get before I can handle a bow effectively enough to kill a bear? I heard it was nerfed a couple months ago.

Don't shoot the bears.

Just don't. You still have to chase them down after you do enough damage to them just like if you had punched them to death. You end up ruining quality with a quiver full of arrows sticking in them.

If you have very high q arrows and such... probably not much of a problem. Aim for q100+, I'd say.

I wouldn't mind seeing combat moves for archery tbh, except unlike UA or MC they apply their effects after the cooldown finishes, not before.

So its better to just cheese them with a boat or horse nowadays? No way I'll get q100+ arrows as a lone hermit who started this world 1 week ago until next month/year.
