Just drop that x-bow and fight like a man of honour.

Ironflesh is kinda shit tbh, doesn't really do much for you, Ironflesh should always be the lowest stat unless you're going a tank build.

It seems like an alright build to me. But with your total weight being mentioned, it seems like your armor is going to be quite low. You'll have to stick with your team mates and always be looking behind you for the build to work effectively.

Your build is nonsensical from the perspective of a minmaxer who aims for competitive PvP.
Source: 600 million exp worth of crossbow gameplay :rolleyes: Not trying to brag, trying to make you help me with helping you :wink:

All builds listed are calculated under the assumption that you want maximum crossbow accuracy, which is a must in my opinion. That's because level 35 does not allow you to move exceptionally fast and your own team might outrun you when you reload, so you are left behind and die. The only way out is camping a faraway point and hitting targets over the distance, and to do that you need max accuracy. Besides, you can't effectively counter archers unless your accuracy corresponds to your crossbow's maximal potential.

The bad news first: If you want your current armor set, the shield, and the heavy crossbow, the end result sucks. This build moves too slowly, and the 1h wpf is obviously too low:

A reasonable suggestion would be to replace the Heavy Crossbow with a default Crossbow. Here is the build:

I checked if it's an option to remove shield but keep the Heavy Crossbow. I don't recommend it, because it's low IF and the 1h WPF is too low again:

Here is with default Crossbow without shield. It's roughly on par with the second option.

Summary: I recommend using #2 or #4 for now. Consider going higher level. If that's not an option, reduce your armor weight drastically, so #1 and #3 become viable with lower xbow wpf and higher movement speed and 1h wpf while still achieving maximum accuracy.

Sorry, that's as good as it gets for now.
