Why we playing crossbow ?

Hi guys,

Wanna talk about Crossbow gameplay. I'm totaly in love with crossbow skill but the mecanic have a big issue.

It's simple, i play 3 skill for doing my damage :

- Galvanic Shards for clear trash mobs or weak mobs ( apply shock )

- Plasma Blast for apply big shock on boss ( big channeling, painfull to use )

- Shockburst Rounds for main damage source against Shocked Rare and boss

So, if you know crossbow gameplay, you know we need reload skill before using it. And we make a several amount of reload in each map due to the amount of switch skill or just the base reload because we have an amount of ammunition.

It's very simple, if you want make the crossbow gameplay a bit more attractive compared to bow brother, just PUT A RELOAD WHEN WE SWAP SKILL !!! It's the most painfull mecanic of crossbow, switching skill and get slowed by a reload. Keep the reload mecanic but count switch skill for a reload please god....

At this point, just play bow ....

(PS : sorry for my english, not my native langage)

i have more to say, also a fan of xbow builds
there`s a few stuff that is grinding my gear for absolute no reason.

Fresh clips is bugged, not giving more dps with amount of bolts loaded in clip.
Travel distance damage buff support gem won't support the skill with the biggest travel distance in game.

Seriously, how, the only skill that has a gigantic travel distance and projectile speed has siege cascade. Won't get the support gem buff due a bit of physics?

Siege cascade is an insane skill if you know how to properly built it but the nerfs the xbow and lack of calculations it has. damn sometimes i just want to quit.

witches on coc doing 300x more damage with cheap ass wand of 700dps while at 900dps xbow i won't even kill map bosses

please ggg i need help fix and buff siege cascade T_T

you might want to try stormblast bolts + mirage archer with explosive shot for bosses (over 70M dmg :D), siege cascade/galvanic a beast for clearing.

siege cascade needs at least 200%+ speed projectile and makes a great combo paired with sine aquo, galvanic shards only needs a decent crossbow and a good ring paired with kalandra's touch (or 2 decent rings),

I only play crossbow and i can tell it has never been in a better spot than the last 2 leagues.
