As a biased Arbalest user, since the damage change, I dislike the idea of having to 3shot zig-zagging cloth wearers. Mainly cause im bad.

Crossbows are in a lot worse position than bows.
I voted Gurnisson cause of his fucking bendy pike, I swear noone can roflcopter stab like he can.

No they aren't. The game now is headshots and having a reticule that doesn't expand after half a second is going to be more effective than the bows.

If you didn't know, xbow accuracy has been nerfed, so xbows are in a worse position than archery.

Also, I was mainly thinking of arbalest which is mostly useless now. With bows you have a high RoF at least, and have many opportunities to get headshots.

If you didn't know, accuracy has nothing to do with how long your reticule stays closed  :rolleyes: Maybe you'll have to put your WPF into Xbow's instead of that melee weapon? Welcome to the world of archers.

Agreed. It's a little dumb to have to shoot someone 3 times with a +3 arbalest and +2 steel bolts that is wearing medium armor. It takes like a minute and a half assuming you hit 3 in a row. Buff arbalest damage a little and or decrease reload time. Instead of making them useless, make a wpf requirement to use xbows and the number of them on the field will decrease greatly.

Fail troll is fail.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
