2)crossbow not having a quiver is a big downside ,bow quiver opens alo of build options crossbow should definitely have a Bolt sack or something similar to quiver

+1, though... too diablolike, no?

not really , it only make sense its this weapon fires bolt so where do u keep the bolts ?xD

If gems magically creates them over the Crossbow then it doesn't need Reload time!!!


What ever rules we can discuss, it is unfair not having a sack as offhand item.

And now that Crossbow skills lacking damage is even more important than ever to bring this new gear item in game.

The issue is not only damage its also the bonuses bolt sack could provide like extra crit chance /pierce /bleed chance /atk speed etc

In a wierd way the clunky crossbow became my favourite weapon to use but it has few HUGE issues
1)crossbow still get "stuck" and doesn't fire after a reload and sometimes after a Roll .
2)crossbow not having a quiver is a big downside ,bow quiver opens alo of build options crossbow should definitely have a Bolt sack or something similar to quiver
3) reload speed - it did became a Lot better in 0.2 but yet , in the early game it feels terrible and all people I heard say the same thing "why struggle whit realod speed when u can use a bow "
4)Extra load&Round in general ,at least half of the cross bow skills have Low Round count in the clip which make them Unplayable and not fun to use , to properly use them u must have extra load implicit + at least 1 extra Load on suffix and those are extremely rare suffixes not to mantion the crossbow whit the Extra load implicit has low reload speed this whole mess turns crossbow skills into a Mess and not fun experience to play whit them
Not to mantion some skills have 1 round in the clip and then u go to reload animation that gets stuck .
5)crossbow skills : most of the crossbow skills do Zero dmg and unusable both early and endgame best way to level a crossbow is basically use a normal Crossbow shoot till u get to Galvanic or explosive(1round is terrible) )

Crossbow one of the least used weapons because it's clanky gets stuck on reload&roll and doesn't Fire , has Low Rounds count on all skill except rapid and shockburst
Extra load suffix is so freaking Rare that u can craft thousands of crossbows and the chances of getting extra load is Slim it's Extremely rare

Most crossbow skills require u to use so many skills most potential build are not even possible to play on a controller because it requires way to many skill button ,it requires to many skills to be combined together to actually "properly work "
I a game that is so Fast u don't have the time to set up all those nice thing not to mantion the Plasma shoot that does have a crazy dmg but is unusable unless it's used to nuke a spawning boss no where else u can take the time to stand still and Charge a skill
Some skills require a detonator which only raises the number of buttons
Let's say u use a Explosive shoot it's already 2 skill buttons Emergency reload 1 button Explosive grenede 1 button , cluster grenede 1 button , old grenede 1 skill buttons ,rapid 1 button
A button for roll and pick up items it's 2ay to many buttons for a controller and it's one example of many crossbow build are hard to fit on a controller unless all u play is Galvanic/Explosive round +shockburst rounds build which requires the least buttons ,Crossbow doesn't feel good to use on a controller .

I play exclusively on a controller on PC and I spent over 700 hours on crossbow already and that is my opinion, Crossbow need more love , need more dmg on many skills need higher atk speed scaling on many skills and needs more Round per clip , extra Load affix Must be very Common to roll on crossbow since many skills limit ur round count very highly .
U can even check how many players play on crossbows and what skills they use and u will see how bad the situation really is .
Make crossbows feel good and not anoying constantly struggling to make it work somehow and Maybe do enough dmg to kill something .

I only play merc and crossbow and he needs much more love.

I have over 1000 hours only merc and i can say, he need more ways plsssss.
the crossbow passive(crossbow-picture-tree) is really not good to much others.
