Howdy,
So Im making my first build that uses a crossbow in crpg and have some questions. So I plan on using a 2hander, crossbow, and steel bolts. From those who have done this build before, what lvl 30 build did you find worked best? Im thinking either 18/21 or 21/18.
My bigger question is the wpf for crossbow. How much, if any, should I put into it? My understanding is that points into xbow decrease reticule size, but do not actually improve accuracy. They do two things, increase reload speed and decrease breakage.
thoughts?

Definitely more agility than strength. The 15/24 build is very nice, either that or 18/21.

This man knows what's up. Used this exact build on an arbalestier/2h and it was fantastic. If you feel that you need 2 stacks of bolts, keep in mind that the Fighting Axe, Mace, and Military Sickle are all 1slot 2h weapons. I used a Mace, as do most people that need a 1slot 2h. It's fantastic; with 8 athletics you can really get some good footwork leading to knockdowns and greater damage. The Fighting Axe is a solid choice if you find yourself frustrated by shielders, and the Military Sickle is quite effective with its pierce damage and weird-ass model. Most people have a hard time blocking it since it is so rare to see.
Oh, and I would recommend attempting to get an heirloomed crossbow. Bolts, too if you have a large wallet or clan armoury. Ranged weapons benefit much more from heirlooming than melee weapons. Also; the Mace is a very good choice to heirloom. Looming it increases both weight and damage, both of which lead to more knockdowns. Few things are deadlier than a good hit-knockdown-hit-kick-hit combo. It's also relatively easy to perform.
