Crossbow Damage

[OtherWise]

i have been trying to decide if i make "Crossbows" my main weapon since i do enjoy its gameplay, but its damage vs a longbow feel so dam low for a high risk weapon.

and yet every guide or review i see tells me tey are the unbeatable single target weapons.

and yes i know i can mix them with daggers and yes thei damage sky rockets (with the poison), but if i can do the same with longbow (that has already a higher base damage).

So again, can someone explain me what i am missing? or did they nerfed them for the EU release?

crossbow is a lot higher damage than bow, i suggest following a build. the games systems are good since u can do different builds etc but its pretty confusing for a first playthrough and have a lot of noob traps

do you mind elaborating a bit.
and yes i m well aware that there are builds... ence why i did refer i tried to match with "daggers". Only thing i m not aware yet, is sets, if there and if they have bonus (like classic MMO).
But back on topic i would need a bit more elaboration to understand. because currently for me (at my low level):
Crossbow + dagger (poison) = +/- 12 seconds to kill a mob
Just Lownbow (nothing else bossting it) = 4 seconds to kill same mob

and again i m aware i can boost damage with offhand skills but what i can apply to crossbow i can apply to longbow (even if they are not the best), that means boosting the higher base damage will comeout winning vs boosting the low damage one

gear does have set effects at blue tier, but u can stay on green till purple, it sounds like u might just not be doing the rotation correctly, or your gear itself + skill levels are correct. read that guide i basically nuked every mob in around 3seconds while leveling

By what i can see, crossbows have more susteined damage, longbows have Burst damage, so if you are trying to kill a mob before lvl 50, yea, longbow will kill it faster, but high hp like bosses, crossbows should do more susteined damage. Also, cant confirm, since we dont have a damage meter unfurtunelly >.>

Xbow shines later in the game when you start incorporating thunderclouds. Longbow seems stronger cause youre killing trash mobs, for high HP, they destroy longbow.

played crossbow and i will say this , for bosses is ok, for pvp if u bot geared and not skilled its frustrating class, sprcialy when gs/daggrr bow everywhere 🤣 so i just will go back to bow/dagger, solid weapons, good range, anf more fun in pvp
