Your Opinion on Arbalests

[Mr.K.]

I hate Heavy Crossbows even more. Those things reload too darn fast with a dedicated build and can still oneshot kill light targets.

Buff ranged!

I wish I could say that. Heavy Cbows and arbalests have a tendency of shooting through my shields, cause my shieldskill lvl is generally 5.

was happening to me too, untill i have set an objective to go at least 6 shield skill no matter what when i play shielder.

what shields do you use? i use the knights heater shield and they dont go through.

[//saxon]

they are fucking mint.

The only thing you´ve got to do with your build to become a great crossbowman is sacrifise some WPP of 2hander , what a big loss....

This is becoming chamber of tears material by the minute.

[Teeth]

I find the practice of moving threads to the Chamber of Tears and the general increasing tendency to describe any discussion on the subject of balance as 'whining' or 'qq' a worrying development as the game simply isn't perfectly balanced and not every comment on that balance is motivated by a 'nerf whatever kills me' mentality.

[Grumbs]

Its much easier for devs to not look at their own work with a critical eye and simply put negative labels on everyone. If people are simply whiners and QQers they don't have to consider that maybe they aren't perfect devs. This has been going on for ages now. Say anything about ranged balance and you're a melee campaigner "tard". I just think there is a high level of arrogance with the devs here imo

A dark red Heavy norman shield. But really I wasnt complainin about it. It doesnt take a lot out of your HP when it hits you while having the shield up. The reason my shieldskill is so weak, is because during combat im mainly a shieldless 1h. Im just carrying the shield as an accessory to make me look cooler and cause going in the middle of a battle gamemode shitstorm without a shield or a long weapon is a deathsentence.

[Gurnisson]

Getting shot while approaching an arbalest guy and go into a fight with him on low hp with him having 8 ath, 5 ps, 50-100 melee wpf and the likes of spathovaklion, mace or military sickle is just scary.

A skilled arbalest user can ...

Also loading an arbalest when you have ~150WPF takes around 7 seconds. It's not really that much.
