A little insight into the history of HX

[Macropus]

How it all started? Who plagued us with the epidemic of Horse Xbowmen we have experienced in recent time?
Everyone blame this guy:

If you want to kite with a crossbow, ride a horse.

PS: ok it's not the most useless thread you have seen so far, anyway.

Blow me, Phew.

[Phew]

Everyone blame this guy:

I've never even played HX, not even a few minutes on a STF. That post from last year was in response to someone complaining about the weight of xbows/bolts I believe. I was in no way encouraging anyone to play that class.

I also realized that in 3000 hours or whatever of cRPG, I don't think I've ever seen a HX. One of the many benefits of only playing siege.

Remember when everybody thought that HX was a gimped and useless build and nobody played it? Until some damn NA figured out it really wasn't and the plague spread to EU.

As a resident of NA, I've accepted that virtually any concept has potential for trolling a server witless if you spend the points right, especially since we now have easy STF characters to refine that science in "proof of concepts."
