i have been playing a lot of range classes in CRPG, i have done throwing... i have done xbows, and i have done bows.
i learned that high tier bows are 100% crap in every way.
I master worked a light xbow and bolts to deal out 60p per shot. Thats 60p damg with only 7str needed and 0wpf
i have almost master worked a long bow and arrows, it deals 40cut. That 40cut with 8PD and 146wpf
I have learned and tested that it takes about 3-4 shot with my master work light x-bow to kill most players,
I have shot the same people with my FineLongBow and i was sadden when it took 3-4 shot.....
So i thought about it and started to go over the pro and cons...
Bow can be shot at a ok speed... yet i can match almost any bowmen with the speed on my master work light X-bow. They shot and miss i reload and fire back, about 1-1.5 shot per shot if there using strongbow
--Maybe the aim is better for bows? WRONG! my master work light X-bow has better aim then my FineLongBow... i have 0 in xbow and 146 in bow....

login --Maybe bows are better to use if i want to wear heavy armor? Well i tested this and learned that if am wearing surcoat over mail i shot my slow bow even slower!... yet my Master work xbow is just fine no matter what i wear...
--Bows cant even hold their shot for a good time... xbows can hold their shot all day,
--One up side is you can reload as you move, but your movement is slowed as you do it
Is it fair that i can deal the same damg with a light xbow with 0 skill points used and 0 wpf as a bowmen with 8pd and 146wpf? The real answer is no...
I am really sad to say that bows are over nerfed, please buff the higher tier bows...
any ideas on this or thoughts about balance?
