Bow have quiver and crossbow have nothing....

The Boltsack is necessary for weak Xbos to make them more powerful with simple skills. Right now only combos work fine. Most skills are meh. Also some other things like presence area, damage area, reload time, grenade power, skill speed, +bolts etc will boosted enough becouse Xbox is the only weapon that need 20-30% more investments than any other in the game. That is something that Devs should understand. You can't invest passives in 1-2 things when talking about Crossbow use.
Absolutely right. The only weapon that can't kill anything without a combo skill use. In Bosses is even worse. It needs desperately a Boltsack to correct the damage power.
Personally I'm more annoyed by the fact that XBow Skill are more like Reload skills and have a separate Shot Skill. It make the whole thing... clunky to the point people use the weapon set tech to work around it but that's just that. A work around the community found. I guess they wanted to simulate a FPS feeling but it just doesn't work as it isn't as smooth as those. And let's be honest, if we wanted to play a FPS, we wouldn't choose a ARPG that choose to only implemented it as a side feature barely developed for that.

Indeed Crossbow need more love from Devs. It has so many issues to be solved that makes people abandon the weapon sryle early between 70-80 level. We hoping one day that Boltsack(Crossbow off-hand gear) will be implemented just for helping a little becouse people think for great increases and that is an illusion to anything implemented so far to Crossbows. I will remind you the nerfs to GS and so many other skills. I see players with Bow, Quarterstaff, Staff, Talisman etc kicking monster ass in second. In Bosses the differences are huge and imidiately noticeable. Crossbow is a mediocre weapon and needs a lot of investments than other weapons that makes it more punishing and unfun in the end.

Please Devs make a step forward and make Xbow great again.
No thanks please. Xbows currently has 2H modifiers which means more +projectile levels with skills. Also i don't want to spend more currency for a boltsack. You want quivers go play Bows. Only thing i want removing restrictions on support gems targets bow skills instead of "projectile" so i can use it on my Xbow.
Even if Xbow has two handed modifiers , reloading and no quiver is a little too much as punishment and makes the weapon less attractive especially if you don't play with combos.


Afterall boltsack wouldn't bring the fire in humanity especially if modifiers are buffing non-damage types of help like presence, ailments, cooldown time, glory gaining, increases in area amount etc.

Bump. At least make it as Lineage option like the Dodge reloading....
+1. Enough with punishment. Bring something and make people happy with no extra punishments.
