Regular Xbow - increasing its value

[Grumpy_Nic]

Hello fellow xbowers (cuz this is who I am writing this to)!

Everybody who has a mw xbow, lying around in one of your dusty corners of your armoury, pick it up and bring it to good use once again!
I will, from this day on, use the regular xbow as a main weapon. I will show you that it is not a piece of bullcrap since the last patch (+ dmg, yay) but a dangerous, damn fast reloading ranged cunt.
With this weapon it is possible to make wonderful hit&run attacks, only a few things are as beautiful as a close range headshot. Make the suckers pay that place cheapass offers on the market, requesting this beauty.

Best Regards

Grumpy_Nic

It's not that it's bad, it's just that it's two slots now instead of one.

I like the xbow being cheap. My second favorite weapon behind the heavy crossbow. If I had the money I would buy every single one on the marketplace.

[Haboe]

It's not bad, its just not as good as other xbows.

Used MW Arb. and its still very effective, don't know why people say Xbow is bad now.

who said that? there are like 100's of them running around on EU1

Nobody said it's bad, just the market got swarmed with them cuz of all the 2h couldn't pew pew with 'em anymore.

Maybe the crossbow can't oneshot weak archers like an arbalest, but it can still shoot like 2-3 times when the arba shoots once.
I use it for some weeks now and I like it way more than other crossbows

Some maths:
MW Arba shoots once with MW steel bolts = 100 pierce damage
MW Crossbow shoots twice in the same time with MW steel bolts = 2 x 78 pierce damage = 156 pierce damage

Also Crossbow is cheaper.

[Berserkadin]

Xbow even got a damage-buff, like benkei says the market got swarmed, supply and demand. Nothing can change that. I think they could change str req to 9 instead of 10.

Heavy Xbow = Best Xbow.

[Rebelyell]

good old xbow was good before pach, now it is even better but you cant go mallet + xbow anymore QQ and that kind of hybrids was mai reason to use that weapon for many players

[CrazyCracka420]

I always liked the MW crossbow

Only reason it's so cheap on marketplace is because it's 2 slots (so you can just pick up a heavy xbow and do more damage without losing any slots)

[Ulmarth]

Xbow was never bad i think tho most have said that. The only reason there is so many kicking around the market is that all the 2hander guys cant carry em anymore cos the slots

When i came back to cRPG a couple months ago after havin a break i played 1 gen as arb sniper........absolutly nothing wrong with xbow class was great fun sniping etc......jus would rather play as an alt class.

Edit : Sorry most have already mentioned this, shoulda read the whole thread
