Ranged Warrior?

[Swami71]

Have some crossbows that need assessing to figure out the weighting. So any ranged warriors out there or is there another way to tell?

As you sing, you feel a faint resonating vibration from the yew heavy crossbow in your hand...

The harmonics generated tell you that the crossbow inflicts more fearsome wounds when it strikes.

Yew is almost always +2, and lightly crit weighted. (sighted)

Thanks, that helps. Have two that are +2. Just found another one thats +4.

I can tell you they're useless.
A) No one uses crossbows.
B) People would MUCH rather have a 4x crossbow and 5x bolts than a +2 with a pidly amount of sighting. Your best option is to sell them to the pawnshop for 22k each or so.

My warrior is trained in every weapon style that exists and can assess anything.. Feel free to hit me up

Tsin helped me. They were all somewhat crit. Sold at the pawnshop for 20k each.

Crossbows can work if you got CMAN mobility, which allows you to stand if attacked. So in theory the only reason why you would use one is for that extra +20 AS bonus and effectiveness against plate. Anyhow, the only way to make them work from what I can tell is to have 2 spare crossbows in your backpack. The load times on a xbow make it unusable especially in swarms.

But, in reality, a longbow is about 100 times more effective then a crossbow and have none of the drawbacks. I don't understand why Simu even puts these weapons into the game when their only use or possible advantage is for RP purposes. Doesn't anyone at Simu do any quality control/balance?
