I'm rather unhappy with the arbalest change. I would much rather have a PD requirement for xbows; at least then assholes would stop using them up in strat battles. I used to be a little frustrated with the slowness of the arbalest, but with 8 athletics I could usually outrun the other team for just long enough to get off three shots in a round instead of the one. Now with 7 athletics my round goes something like this:
1. Run with team to nearest cover.
2. Take first shot; hopefully a head shot to make the incoming 1700 upkeep cost worth it. STart reloading.
3. Look around. See that both sides are uninterested in a pitched battle. No support, just zerging infantry.
4. Still reloading; because now I have significantly less wpf in xbow (not to mention my pitiful melee wpf)
5. Still reloading.
6. Enemy team is in my face.
7.Run.
8.Run.
9.Run.
10. Death to cavalry or maybe some bro who takes pity on me and punches me to death.
11. Get stuck with fat bill to repair useless fucking arbalest.
I was planning to make this my final build. Nope, time to go back to melee so I can chop wood with the rest of the grunts.
