Just sayin, why would you use melee as an archer, wooden axe/sword and leather armor vs iron axe/sword and iron armor. I mostly use my bow to keep them away but otherwise I run yeah, I shoot with half-powered bows. So what, "bowspamming" as you call it is a way to Pvp. I don't know about you guys but the archers of Gondor had atleast in the movie the same armor and iron sword as the gondorian soldiers, except for the spears and shields, indeed to fix this problem you can give archers a quiver with arrows, and perhaps add in the point shop a way to buy another quiver so you have twice the amount of arrows.
Obviously, you do not know the ways of the archer. That is an archers last ditch attempt of saving his life. Arrow spamming if one of the only ways to really keep enemies at bay that are in close range and it is VERY effective.
Just do not freaking charge an archer head on. Jesus. Just learn already.[/quote]
I do the same thing, and I sure know the ways of archer, it's the most efficient way if you are a good melee and ranged user, it also reduces bowspamming accusations.

Even if he did, there currently is some form of antibowspam plugin in place.
And that's exactly why it should be nerfed. A free class that's on every map should not be the most powerful class. Also, why do you say it's agile?

*Cough cough* Troll *Cough cough* But, anyways, you do not donate to have the "most powerful" class on the server. You donate to get unique classes with unique abilities and advantages. Donor classes should not be OP due to the fact you paid for them.
Also, I say it's agile cause it's not slow
It can get across the battlefield fairly quickly, especially elven archer.

It depends on the player for whats the strongest class.

Honestly when I hear people complain about bow spam it's because of two things I see,
1. They don't run in a way that it makes it harder for archers to hit them
2. They don't know who the better archers are on the server, so they obviously assume the person of being a noob bowspammer, right before claiming hacks.
Seriously, bowspam occurs when you either charge at an archer, there's a group of enemies, or when I don't feel like aiming at all.

archer is more agile when played cuz it is not in as big of trouble if it gets caught, if it does its probably dead. not so for soldier XD. although I do not get why there is a bow draw time at all, its almost instantly drawn irl, the problem is aiming & getting the friggin back of the arrow on the string :/
Heres a simple way to fix the problem
Learn to dodge

You know, I'm all in for making archer more difficult to play. A higher cooldown of shooting, but more damage dealt per hit is just an example of making it a more skill reliant class (which might not be wanted since it's one of the basic classes out there, one played by many new players).
But yeah, arrowspamming is just a MC mechanic. We could make it a bit more difficult for archers by not allowing them to spam, but we could also make it a bit more difficult for other classes by keeping the mechanic, meaning that they'll have to try to dodge more & better. And in this case (= Isengard) other classes refers to ents who can literally one-shot and -hit Uruk-hai's with their abilities, so I think that making it a bit harder for the Ents isn't so bad. Since you know, Ents are still able to get enormous killstreaks quite easily, even though they get their bums roasted by the spammy flaming arrows.

the reasoning for 6 arrows per minute was not because it took 10 seconds to shoot the bow, it was to reserve arrows for later in the battle.
limit arrows so OP camping isnt a thing and weaken elven lord/archer cuz those outlclass normal archer by a good bit
Leave it as it is now, learn to dodge and don't try to be good by trying to take out incredible archers in the server. Yes i hate arrowspam but everyone here uses it so leave it as it is.
