sugg to balance archers

I think there should be a substitute for bows and quivers to balance the game.

I ll make it short and simple.

Instead of a bow, magic and melee users could equip gloves that would serve as an additional piece of armor. That means if you re an archer you cannot equip gloves since you re using that slot for your bow (which kind of make sense).

Instead of a quiver, magic and melee users could equip capes. That means you cant be an archer and have a cape since that slot is for the quiver. Capes would not give armor bonuses but rather stat bonuses.

In exchange, archers can equip staff with a 20% speed penalty, and the penalty for whips would disappear.

The purpose here is not to make archers weaker but to make everybody stronger in a way that is fair.

So what dy think?
