I was in the arena and it gave me a sword and shield (a nice setup). My allies: A guy with a 2h sword, and a mounted archer. Have to tell the archer to dismount so he can actually shoot the enemy without dieing miserably. Enemy has two mounted knights w/ lances and a foot archer. I kill both knights, but not before my 2h sword guy dies to the archer, and my archer is pincushioned by a knight. Then I go 1v1, with full health, against the archer. Get right to him with only a tiny bit of damage to the shield. Then he starts running backward faster than I can run forward, shooting arrows fast enough to win a marathon. But I still rush him... only a few more feet till he hits the wall and cant run back anymore. My shield busts up *really* fast. Then he starts pegging me for way heavier damage than normal. But im RIGHT by the wall... Then suddenly he gets a good shot... and I take 186 damage. I would assume thats a head shot? Or maybe an eye shot? Straight through the brain?
I assume its new, since ive never got hit so hard before. Also got hit for 30s and 40s before that third shot. I would assume it is because of velocity. Im moving forward, hes moving backwards and firing forward, so my running forward + arrow flying forward at me = way more damage? Before im running right in his face im getting hit for like 12 and when hes moving backward with me moving forward im getting hit for three times that... with the lovely shot for 186. (bit of an overkill, the 30 and 40 had me barely alive already).
Doesnt always do this though - sometimes they are running back slower and I can catch them; and ive only been hit for 186 once. Other than that the highest I was shot for in arena was like 92 (with a headshot, ofcourse).
