...its not even that good...
I just had three repairs in a row at a cost of 1.3k each. This is absurd, i'm not even that good. I can't even kill a lightly armored peasant in one hit :shock: :wink:Fixed.

A weapon that has the potential of killing a heavily armored player with decent IF with one bolt is supposed to be expensive.
Assuming 100 wpf with an arbie and shitty bolts vs 10 armorCrossbows are not affected by wpf so not sure why you left that in there. Also, the damage drop off at range is range is pretty big. So those damage models are incorrect in most cases. Not to mention the rain which fucks crossbows up.

What the hell are you doing when you shoot at peasants?

Not really, even with MW set-up you would only do 42,5 damage while even just a level 5 will probably have 45 or more hp.
Even cutting those values in half, you should be one-shotting peasants :wink:
An arbalest is no free 1 shot ticket as soon as you hit anything and although my main is an arbalester I have to say it's good that way. This thing is a very mighty weapon but only in the right hands (as a head shot machine). But don't think you can get lots of valour with it.
The arbalest is for a dedicated sniper and I see my job on the battlefield in looking for the top players and put them on half of their hit points. It's not about 1 shot killing peasants (too slow reloading time). An arbalester is a support class (with good KD ratio) who should take the hp and attention of experienced players who otherwise kill 3 to 4 of your mates in melee.
Help your team and upkeep is no problem but as archery this is no gold leeching class.
I've been using the arb for the past month or so and I fricking love it.
Its definitely not something I use against peasants though. I aim for archers first and foremost. I can usually one hit them if they're in really low armor. Most archers survive one shot with decent armor but they're most likely blackbarred at that point.
Then you help in melee and shoot peasants.
The only thing I hate with the arb is the slow reloading time (which is fine) but it sucks when you're on open plains and being targeted by an HA/HX/archer. My god the frustration.
