Crossbowman Template

[Flimgoblin]

Requirements:
As much str/dex/qui/archery haste whilst still having reasonable resists/hits/con.

Also - have to look the part, aten's shield and winged helm must be used.

Wanted an end regen proc on my mace too. (if anyone has a coffin mace of the depths going spare btw, I'm interested )

Swapping weapons will be a bit annoying with the lose/gain hp from the mace but oh well.

I have a matter sorc, smite cleric (two now - the would-be bot is going smite, might play him then) , shield merc as well as the Crossbow armsman...

r.o.s.o. in a xbow arms template!!1

think i got a mace of depths in vault in case i ever go crush but...

Dont forget to make a bloody Rejuv Friar , though what idiot in his right mind would do that <wink>

 

[Kagato]

May want to consider the shadow whisperers crossbow from caer sidi, its got a much shorter delay time and seeing as your more vulnerable to being interupted, not having any scout abilities, thats rather vital for making any use of it.

The str/con debuff on it is also pretty sweet.

Wouldn't you also be better off with +shield in template then parry? I presume your plan is to slam then fire?

 

[Antedeluvian]

:worthy: :worthy: :worthy:

he's level 22

All the +parry is on drops... suppose I could find a different cloak/boots fairly easily.

plus you can parry with xbow out heh

will look into that shadow whispers bow - it doesn't have 2% haste on it though. Cyclone Skinners will get me more dps over time.
I also have a fumble debuff proc on Lothissi's crossbow (slower delay but good for sniping - has very similar stats to the Cyclone, 7 more dex/str but 4 less dex cap), and intend to get a dura'eks crossbow if i can for the dot proc.


Ta for the feedback btw

 

[enigma]

sniping towercamper!

 

[Dardamein]

Torgyn the Armsman and Choirboy

50 slash
42 shield
36 crossbow
16 parry

Caster defender and dartman!

Fun to play!

 

[Kagato]

I wouldn't use anything else then shadow whisperers personally, speed seems to be everything when trying to make most of snapshot as you can still be interupted alas. There might be a faster bow but I havent found one yet, if there is i'd be using it.

Personally if I went crossbow i'd go full 50 crossbow, 42 shield rest slash or crush but unless they improve the range I wouldn't consider it.

 

[Dardamein]

Some nice spellcrafting and a few realm ranks and you are close to 50 crossbow (36 for starters)

 

[knighthood]

he's level 22

i hope u payed the copyright fees for him

btw cba with a calc , but looks like my spec can reach 36-38enhance by 50, meaning 2nd best abs and resist and dex/quick , i can still solo oj atm so keep at it

variety is the spice of life - or in rvr for me , prolyl death though i did get my first rvr kill on a norse skald in poc today with carbuncle lol

 

[Kagato]

Theres nothing special about having 50 in crossbow, I was thinking 50+11+RR crossbow actually, you still gain WS and better damage above 50.

And therefore better chance to hit your enemy and better damage when you do.

And considering the WS on a crossbow for a typical Armsman is not that great its fairly important (for someone who's a Crossbow Armsman that is, not for most of the rest of us).

Flim, how does the matter sorc fair, i'd considered rolling one

 

[Flimgoblin]

Flim, how does the matter sorc fair, i'd considered rolling one

not too badly, though he's level 40 and unbuffed in leirvik so dies quickly to anything buffed and level 44
