5. I don't understand why reloading Crossbow weapon doesn't work while dodging. Didn't you see Matrix or Max Payne to take an example of them? Is too way difficult for a skillful soldier to reload gun when rolling dodged?? If i avoid a damage by dodging 6m, should i do one more metre pacing to reload weapon??? This mechanism is not essential but crucial to survibility.

- About this issue, I think they should create a Spirit Skill to helps you reload the clip instant when dodge roll. That will make the combat more fluently

Xbows need a massive buff.
I tried to make it work with pathfinder to run'n gun full speed.

Used "OP" deepest tower to get like 5x more dmg.
Used glass cannon doryani's prototype with -170% lightning.

NOW it's playable and fun blasting everything with galvanic shards point blank but...
normal LS build still clears faster haha. And they get to choose their off hand and have normal 75% lightning res.

So yeah, xbows need like 2x more dmg baseline.

And we talking about quiver slot for Crossbows...

Guys, just use a Bow. Why can't Crossbows reload during Dodge Roll? Because then that's the only time anyone would ever reload which would be functionally equivalent to just not having Reload which would just make Crossbows goofy looking Bows.

Both mechanically and thematically the ability to reload during a dodge roll completely defeats the purpose of Crossbows as a distinct class of weapon.

And we talking about quiver slot for Crossbows...

"What if Crossbows didn't have reload and could use a Quiver?"

Then they would be Bows. Just use Bows dude.

After 600 hours playing with Crossbow style and after patch 0.2.0 that brought some positive actions in general Crossbow damage, i noticed some points that should bring more balance and improvements of this weapon type.


1. Bugs related with gems that support Crossbow skills should be fixed with priority as it ruining the combinations and overall experience. Such as Momentum gem that don't work correctly with most Crossbow skills.

2. Jams,Stucks, or whatever make the weapon stop firing during fight is not acceptable but these problems continue happening after patch 0.2.0!

3. Reload Time is pain in the ass and should be seriously improved if not Devs intent to abolish it. Crossbow play style invests to a lot of things and this should be understood that the more bringing of reloading options will not solve the unfair balance as the passive points are really dust in the wind!

4. Quiver Quiver Quiver Quiver....For Christ sake bring us a special gear item that will restore balance and justice between Crossbow and Bow. Both are two handed weapons and both deserve respect. Why are you excluding this benefit from Crossbows? What are you fearing? The difference will be still unnoticeable. A 5-10% increased stats wouldn't ruin the balance. You've done it with the extra ring slot now do it please also in Crossbows.

5. I don't understand why reloading Crossbow weapon doesn't work while dodging. Didn't you see Matrix or Max Payne to take an example of them? Is too way difficult for a skillful soldier to reload gun when rolling dodged?? If i avoid a damage by dodging 6m, should i do one more metre pacing to reload weapon??? This mechanism is not essential but crucial to survibility.

6. Most skills (and i dare to say almost all of them in Endgame) related with Crossbow weapon are useless or significant slow speed and unbalanced compared in other classes. If i make an exception, the Galvanic Shards tries to save the honour with no luck. And this is clear noticeable if you check Crossbow player's most playable skill. So it's important to reconsider your thoughts and maybe change some of them from DMG to DPS style as Galvanic shards do. Bringing new of this style in future will be also good idea.

7. One think that matters a lot in Crossbow's shot firings is bolt's fragment amounts and firing path angle. If I want to fire with Galvanic shards skill, not 6 but 3 bolts in a closed firing angle, i will do it with a special gem that is mented for this specific amendment. Of course the damage will scale immediately to the needs of this amendment. While you brought such similar gems that made amendments to Bow firings, you forgot to support also the Crossbow weapon. Why???

In conclusion there should be still a lot of support coming in future updates that will enhance Crossbow experience and make people return to this weapon style.

4 - You obviously didnt realize that Crossbows are like 2 handed maces and Bows are like 1h maces with a shield.

Just look at the base damage and amount of stats it can roll, bows can reach +3 to skill, Crossbows reach +7

Crossbow skills needs to be buffed. Increasing Xbow base damage won't fix the problem. Most support gems can't even let you go high crit play. Mostly you get A and you lost B. Kinda lose-lose situation. What i suggest ;

Finally this my kind of question ; If you can use BOW while mounting Rhoa how come you can't mount it while you have Xbows? I m pretty certain Xbows are way easier to use more than Bows if you are riding a mount.
