Archery: Power Shot

Post » Thu May 10, 2012 7:47 pm

Ok, I'm loving the crap out of this game but I got very disappointed just now.

I'm playing a Wood Elf Archer and I chose the "Power Shot" perk which does the following: "Arrows stagger all but the largest opponents 50% of the time".

No, no they don't. Not at all.

Anyone else encountered this? Is it a bug? Or am I doing something wrong?

Yeah I think that too, it needs some tweaking, It does proc but not quite often and hell it's not 50% more like 5% ;(

I stagger enemies with it all the time. It is a life saver. I can actually just use my bow most of the time with this perk, since every time I stagger an enemy rushing me it gives me time to hit them with another arrow. And it does feel like it works about 50% of the time. Occasionally I'll stagger an enemy 2-3 times in a row.

It is an awesome perk.

I don't know if you are having a bug, or not realizing when you've caused an enemy to stagger. Also, make sure you are pulling your arrows back all the way before you fire.

I am pulling my arrows all the way back, and still nothing. They charge at me at the same speed as before. Makes me sad since the bow is the only weapon I'm using :(
