I would give up the heavy weapon status to be able to use a quiver. +4 to all skills would be fine. It would make it feel more approachable too.

Hand crossbows would be super awesome at some point also.

Indeed. Of-hand gear is a must in 0.4.0 patch. Im ok with the +3-4 to gear level becouse skills sucks in boss fights.

+1. Mercenary and Crossbow is a meh combination when it comes to discuss boss fights. Other classes are powerful with Crossbow use.

We need skills that use less complexity to kill bosses. And sure Crossbow of-hand gear could help.

+1. I expect some serious improvements in 0.4.0 patch otherwise is a waste of time + someday Devs should see the crossbow of-hand gear as a must for Crossbow weak builds.

Guys what are you talking about? They changed Xbows to 2Handers on 0.2 and stats also went that way. They will not add OFFHAND gear for it.

Mercenary is more than fine overall imo.

Gemling is good stat stacker and overall solid pick for anything that uses Crit (Thaumaturge is failed branch tho).

Witchhunter is amazing for everything. Sorc Ward is great if you invest into some Phys->Ele damage taken. Zealous Inquisition + Trampletoes is free map clear and great starter. Cull option is a great support for mapping. Concentration is free damage, especially on bosses. The only branch that's bad is the weapon swap one.

Tactician is also pretty dope. Deflection from Armour + Glancing Blows + Shankgonne boots = tanky af. Free boosted pin on everything. Halved Spirit price. What not to like?

Crossbow abilities are kinda all the same, which is boring. But are these abilities weak overall? I don't think so.

PS. I haven;t played mercenary for 1600h, more like for 250. But I played all the classes already and I can really tell that in comparison to others, Merc is solid.

WHY not? Just to avoid 10% more damage? Common is ridiculous.

What do you mean why not?

Obviously your both hands are busy... What off hand?

reloading would use both hands with bow or xbow. would be silly to argue semantics ;)

I find it hysterical that you need both hands to use a crossbow and NOT have a quiver BUT...you can use a bow that requires two hands to use but you also get a QUIVER...wtf are the quarrels for your quiver using a crossbow? Yeah, make it make sense GGG


BTW....fix the performancebefore you start your moneygrab.
