well chadz, it s just that i played a lot, i have 2 MW bows that dont even sell at 1M on market place.
Just compare to the stats of the crossbows...
Horn Bow Crossbow
missile speed: 37 + PD6 mean 12% in speed max = 41.44 missile speed: 52 (crossbow faster)
weight: 1.3 weight: 3
accuracy: 97 accuracy: 92 (need not as much in wpf anyway)
speed rating: 63 (+modified by wpf) speed rating: 28
difficulty: 15 difficulty: 10
thrust damage: 24 cut (5-6*12%, mean 38 or 41 cut damage) thrust damage: 54 pierce
slots: 1
I'm also wondering why none of the tincan players arent whinning about the crossbow. And why you needed to nerf archery 4-5 patch in a row.
Also i don't think my post was whining... or maybe we dont have the same definition.
Look at dextaa post, that, was a childish post. All i insuniate was why cRPG team, seems to always go with whinners side. (wooki on irc per example)
If it s truely for balance, why doesnt crossbow get nerfed, and why only two hands user are whining. If i invest 6 in power draw and and 7 in weapon master. why shouldnt be able to be balanced with the cav or polearm, that , can use a heavy armor and one shot low armor. Why wouldnt he just use a shield?
PS, blondin, wehn you assault or defend a castle, it s totally normal to use ranged or siege. did you allready try to manoeuvre a two handed maul from a ladder ...
