Crossbows and the new patch

[Kafein]

Got nerfed to a point where it takes at msot 2 shots to kill someone with mw arbalest and mw steel bolts. The only people i actually one shot are naked people and thats all.

You know what, as a melee I use gear that costs more than you, I have to get up close and risk my life to get a kill, and I never ever oneshot anyone.

[MadJackMcMad]

Can't point blank a cloth wearer with a masterwork arbalest anymore.  This change effectively makes the arbalest worthless.  Currently getting more kills with a langes messer and 0 2hpf.

[Homey_D_Clown]

you'd 1shot me.

True, arablests, bolts and a low wpf melee weapon are cheap.

[Porkthegreat]

I mainly play as a polearm build, but this is just stupid, crossbow is almost useless now......

[Krakatit]

I wear tribal warrior outfit  with mail gaunlets and i can get oneshotted by bolt to my hand when i run towards xbowman...

That's an absurd argument. You cant strike once every 2 seconds or something (depending on your armor wpf weapon) he needs like 10 (or 15, idk) seconds or even more to shoot 1 bolt. So it takes him 20-30 to kill a peasent, while it takes you something like 4-6 seconds. Assuming that a. the xbow guy doesnt miss a shot b. the other guy cant dodge and c. that he can't block. Otherwise it will all take more time :3

[LastKaze]

Had a long ass day, getting many assists in this fucking game. I can't believe some guy wearing a shirt can survive a xbow shot. Also, I herd that the damage done by xbows on the body was reduced by 67%

[MadJackMcMad]

Sod the shirt, I can't kill naked 30's anymore at close range.  All they need is ironflesh and they can deflect the bolt through sheer manliness.

 It's just laughable.  My MW arbalest is going in the cupboard until this is sorted, from now on it's 2h spam all the way.

Im more intresting in this, if we have now 67% dmg, and if it is rain so we have some penalty, in some guides it says 25% dmg penalty when it is rain, so if it is rain i have only 52% dmg with my arbalest? then what the point for me to take it ? and pay so high repairs? when i can make more dmg with 1h simple hit?

And about arbalest- it is weapon for snipers, to shoot at long distance, it is just impossible to aim in head even with 170 wpf, if target is far from you )
so if distance is big we anyway needed 2 shoots, now we need 3- so to kill 1 enemy ranged i need 3 bolts, from my 13 bolts, and it is even worse if it is rain) just lol gj devs)

[LastKaze]

If their going to nerf the damage done by an arbalest, atleast give it back it's accuracy at 98.

[Warni]

yup. The last patch really made the arbalest useless.
Might as well throw it at them, it would do more damage.

[Morty]

Your options have nothing to do with requirements for use. Couldn't care less about this crossbow thread.

[Armbrust_Schtze]

hm yeah, i think they are pretty balanced now. but the demage was reduced too much.

i would at least prefer that i could one shot 0 IF archers in light armor with my mw arbalest+mw steel bolts..
