captain lust said:Actually the best way to dodge arrows, when you're not trying to return them, is to just hold forward and just change direction with the mouse. Try and catch a glimpse of the archer, every now and then so you can try and react to the rhythm of the arrows but on the whole, strafing is pretty useless for dodging missiles.
As for the best bow.. that's all personal taste. For a long time, I would use only the basic bow for every faction but recently I tend to grab a strong bow on open maps and nomad/short bow on closed maps. That's not to say there aren't ranged players far better than me, who have completely different ideas on the matter. Because there are.
Unless you're using a shield
