But we all agree that we should buff Swashbucklers... right?
I'd love to see a swashbuckler buff. Though; If you want a swashbuckler buff, you should be focusing on other aspects of the game and come with a brilliant idea. "Not using a shield
that can protect you from arrows" is not the idea you should be focusing on. Since this is also true for 2hander/pole as well. Simply, this is not the thread you're looking for
I think xbow and archery is balanced, and has it's different uses. If you are a crossbow and when you encounter an archer. You have only one chance for success. After you shoot, you won't be able to shoot again unless there is a place you can hide. Even after you hide, you will only have one chance again that most likely archer is very near to you know. What I'm trying to say is, they are very similiar in native when it comes to play (only shield difference). But it is more different in cRPG. I mean the difference is more bigger than that. crossbowman has to rely on one-shot killing, while the archer is having his/her strength from being able to release arrows repeatedly. And boy, their arrows do hurt if they use a loomed set.
Basically they both have power and in my opinion they are close to being balanced among each other. But surely, a crossbowman would think an archer can fire arrows all the time. So he must be overpowered. And an archer would think a crossbowman/crossbowwoman can shot down enemies easier. That is because both classes suffer from different kind of weaknesses, and feel them in their arses all the time. Which is something unlike native. That you never think you are weak as an archer or crossbowman/crossbowwoman.
