GG my level 33 build is also now useless with the 2 slot crossbow. Not only did it nerf the 2h heroes but the few of us xbow shielders out there. To be effective I will now need to invest in a 0 slot cut weapon which will severely limit my ability to hurt the plate/str crutchers like my build was designed against. Doing this also forces most crossbow users to go the arb route because now it makes no sense NOT to take the arb. I think this decision will impact the weapon diversity more than any change in the patch so far.
Actually while it fucks any 1h loom investments for 1h + shield crossbowmen, the improved amount of 0 slot onehanders makes up for it enough so that I for one can't say they're completely screwed. Of course they can't use the favourite of the month maces though. Can't say it isn't a serious nerf though.
Overall a 5/5 patch. Induces plenty of rage, but most changes seem quite sensible. Though I do get people being pissed when something makes their previous choices shit. Like seriously, kinngrim we all love needs to either respec for 13 strength or start using a mace or a lesser murderpick. Oh my god! Military pick got buffed though so it's not a horrible nerf for the 12 str murder pick people apart for definitely dropping +3 steel pick prices a bit.
