Bow Vs. Crossbow ???

[Laccon]

I've been wondering about crossbows lately, i've never really hunted with one. I was wondering what one hits harder, obvisouly the Bow is faster, but is the crossbow more accurate in aiming? Is the extra 30 AS from kneeling worth it, is a crossbow harder to dodge/block?

Crossbow.

<<but is the crossbow more accurate in aiming?>>

No.

<<Is the extra 30 AS from kneeling worth it>>

No.

<<is a crossbow harder to dodge/block?>>

No.


Use crossbows for a first shot, then bust out your bow and finish the job. Crossbows are especially nice for PvP.

Is it better for sniping, with me being a rogue, master of gambits(stealth kneel/stand)

It can be. It hits harder and the +30 AS is nice. I had an archer and never saw the need for the +30 since you bypass a portion of the parry DS.

Much. But don't waste your time firing a crossbow more than once against an enemy if there's a chance you're going to get hit or not kill your target. You'll learn to love composite bows for their speed and deadliness.
