Hello fellow xbowers (cuz this is who I am writing this to)!
Everybody who has a mw xbow, lying around in one of your dusty corners of your armoury, pick it up and bring it to good use once again!
I will, from this day on, use the regular xbow as a main weapon. I will show you that it is not a piece of bullcrap since the last patch (+ dmg, yay) but a dangerous, damn fast reloading ranged cunt.
With this weapon it is possible to make wonderful hit&run attacks, only a few things are as beautiful as a close range headshot. Make the suckers pay that place cheapass offers on the market, requesting this beauty.
Best Regards
Grumpy_Nic

*clap clap*

It's not that it's bad, it's just that it's two slots now instead of one.
-
I like the xbow being cheap. My second favorite weapon behind the heavy crossbow. If I had the money I would buy every single one on the marketplace.
-
It's not bad, its just not as good as other xbows.
-
Used MW Arb. and its still very effective, don't know why people say Xbow is bad now.

who said that? there are like 100's of them running around on EU1
-
Nobody said it's bad, just the market got swarmed with them cuz of all the 2h couldn't pew pew with 'em anymore.
-
Maybe the crossbow can't oneshot weak archers like an arbalest, but it can still shoot like 2-3 times when the arba shoots once.
I use it for some weeks now and I like it way more than other crossbows :)
Some maths:
MW Arba shoots once with MW steel bolts = 100 pierce damage
MW Crossbow shoots twice in the same time with MW steel bolts = 2 x 78 pierce damage = 156 pierce damage
Also Crossbow is cheaper.
-
Xbow even got a damage-buff, like benkei says the market got swarmed, supply and demand. Nothing can change that. I think they could change str req to 9 instead of 10.
Heavy Xbow = Best Xbow.
-
good old xbow was good before pach, now it is even better but you cant go mallet + xbow anymore QQ and that kind of hybrids was mai reason to use that weapon for many players
-
I always liked the MW crossbow
Only reason it's so cheap on marketplace is because it's 2 slots (so you can just pick up a heavy xbow and do more damage without losing any slots)
-
Xbow was never bad i think tho most have said that. The only reason there is so many kicking around the market is that all the 2hander guys cant carry em anymore cos the slots :P
When i came back to cRPG a couple months ago after havin a break i played 1 gen as arb sniper........absolutly nothing wrong with xbow class was great fun sniping etc......jus would rather play as an alt class.
Edit : Sorry most have already mentioned this, shoulda read the whole thread :P

I used a MW crossbow for around 8 gens, theres nothing wrong with it.

It mostly one-shots me :cry:
-
I just remembered last strat battle that nearly no faction buys crossbows, only arbalests, so it's always a bit weird at first to adjust the range of a shot.

X-bow was buffed? When, and by how much?
