I raged a bit this morning when my arbalest for some reason didn't one-shot kill some dude.... had to reload and shoot again. :/

Buff?

Just nerf the arbalest. AKA THREAD TITLE!

Miley is weried and we dont see eye to eye alot, but he is right.
Nerf this broken ass weapon. This weapon is easy mode. I dont mind that there is a easy mode weapon in this game but i do mind that it cost next to nothing to use. (no skill points nor heavy wpf)
I seen a dev say it cost alot. To me that dumb. So if i throw gold at people can i 1 shot them?

Well that is how it used to work with throwing so I figured you'd be all in favor of this.

arbalests only one shot anymore at short range, i haven't killed anyone with full health in weeks, even naked players, e.g. the BRD vs. ATS battle at the end where ATS were all naked and i didn't kill a single person as all of my arbalest shots simply injured their strong skin

Getting srs, in my blue Peasant Dress, I get one shot by Longbows about as often as I myself one shot low/no armored dudes. The only time I'm really getting one shots, is at the end of the battle where injuries abound, and they can no longer rightly be called one shots due to this (or, of course, when people run straight for me, giving me speed bonus damage).

To be honest I think the recent changes to xbow and especially the arbalest balanced nothing. When you change something that's too powerful.. the ultimate goal should be to balance it, not nerf it into a piece of shit.

The main problem with this weapon is that there's almost no skill/stat commitment to be effective with it. They could keep the current shitty reload time, but why not add a skill that'll reduce it to something better than 2 shots per min(what I'm currently getting with my MW arbalest). On top of this, increase the amount of WPF needed to be accurate with it, at about 150 wpf you're fairly accurate.. slide this level of accuracy up to 180. Making it more of a point-sink as well as a slight increase in reload time would of been the more balanced method imo... but 2 shots per min for a MW weapon and 140 wpf is a joke.
