Billhook and Kite Shield in the bag (+Noble Sword and Javalins if you have Bags). Note - If you plan on using Dodge then leveling initative over defenses is reasonable. Recommended stats (up to some personal preference of course).ġ10 fatigue before gear (gives us 70 after gear). This makes them safer to position at the top and bottom of the backline without fearing Wolfriders or enemy overflow.ģ- Because of number 2, this build excels in the Goblin City where you want as much range firepower as possible but can't field 6 pure archers because they will get jumped on.Ĥ- It can be fielded against other enemy types if you need to cover for injuries but will be outclassed in those fights by either pure archers or dedicated melee bros. humans too.Ģ- Unlike pure archers, this character isn't screwed if they get jumped.
I've used a xbow hybrid build to some success.īefore we get into it though, let's look at why we care.ġ- We use this build against Goblins primarly but it is strong vs. The bags nerf hurt this build too because a pocket shield made them more survivable, but the nimble buff helps all ranged builds. I am not at a computer but will try to get back to you on ideal perks. Very ammo hungry though and ammo seems more expensive post-DLCĭuelist with throwing axes is a ranged option against ancient undead given their low hp (piercing ranged damage does little hp damage vs them, throwing axes were different last I checked) Duelist is decent for shots that are almost as armor penetrating as a crossbow at short range for 4 ap with throwing mastery, and so can do better at disabling nearby melee like swordmasters, or 1-shotting goblins at 2 range with KF perk. Crossbows are mostly better against goblins, while warbow is otherwise generally better.
The ones I have now are pure crossbow but duelist crossbow is still viable I think. Some think Im mad, I just want to have fun :( Originally posted by Saddam:Can any high skill player suggest crossbow build in current meta? I know they arent that good but I wanted to make a crossbow build with light or medium armor and quick swithc/duelist.
