Regular Xbow - increasing its value

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.

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.

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.

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)

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 :P

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 :P
