I'm not against one shot archers existing. As i mentioned they should be expensive to make their equipment and long time to perfect their training. But if you do such you should be able to deal your foes great damage. The concept i have steel plate it should protect me absolutely is ridiculous. The game need balance and archers are the balance to full plated up warriors. You may have excellent defence but if i spend just as much time and resources to train to pierce it we should be equal.
The idea is balance, noting more. I can get you at range but if you train to rush me and you can get to me then guess what you win. The balance is fundamental. If Im behind walls then bring friends who can fire back at me. Im tired of the one armor one weapon mentality that only serves to be a cookie cutter to stamp out a multitude of fighters who only have to push stats and group up. Combat should be dynamic.
