it seems to make sense to me that xbows should have some sort of skill investment, as throwing and archery and even melee does (power strike). Get rid of your realism arguments, it's a matter of balance that they should have some sort of skill investment to use (not just "str" requirement).
The time to have implemented a skill for xbows however has passed, this should have been done when everyone got free character respecs.
Good point though Jack. Whole situation with ranged is totally out of hand. In my opinion now that i am not so angry its really tricky to get any sense of this situation. Maybe amount of projectiles should be less and then again any great weapons /armor should be lot more expensive to maintain. I mean lot more!
Wrong.
Ranged damage on EU servers over the past year: 28%. Ranged damage on EU over a "few minutes" (dealing millions of damage seems to be over a few minutes time, but I digress): 30% total ranged damage.
NA1 is even less, 26% over a year, and 28% over a small window.
Go fuck yourself with your anecdotal bullshit (that is wrong, and biased).
*FULL DISCLOSURE* I don't have any ranged characters, or any ranged hybrid chars.
