Title: Xbow/1hander miracle!
Post by: Ronin on December 17, 2013, 02:28:31 pm
I think I'll go xbow/1hander after this patch :mrgreen:

21/21

85 one handed
150 xbow

Is it good enough?

Are you using a shield with 0 slot, or 1 slot 1H? Or buckler/1 slot 1H? I kinda want to do a buckler/xbow when I retire my pure xbow char...

My build does not allow me to use any shield. I just wanted to change my class from 2hander to xbow/1h. Not that 2h was bad or something, I just want to change my playstyle when I am offered the chance. If I had some shieldskill, I would go 1h/hoplite.

So I will either carry a 1 bolt and 1 slot 1hander or 2 bolts and 0 slot 1hander. It's not really difficult to choose :P

level 33
21/21

weapon master - 7
athletics - 7
power strike - 7
iron flesh - 5

Planned WPF distribution:

crossbow - 150
one hand - 85

If there is a better distribution, I might think about that too.

In my opinion you do not need 21 strength... As already said, I would prefer 18:24 too, you have enough strength to do some damage against plate aswell and you have more accuracy or are faster with a weapon.
It's just my opinion, good luck.

I cant decide.

15/24

or

18/21

1 ps over some extra wpf and ath  :|

Whats the best amount of xbow wpf? is 150 really enough?

I started playing with 150 wpf. It seems enough, but imo more athletics/AGI and weaponmaster is overall better for a crossbowman. PS doesn't seem it does much without high wpf. I'd say go for classical 15/24 build, you won't regret it.
