Crossbow:/

I have such a bad experience with Mercenary. It seems to me that it always happens when I am surrounded by a large group and that's when my temptation always "gets stuck". I don't know if I'm doing something too fast or it's a bug. I see that the problem does not only concern me because people have been reporting it to GGG for a long time. are they doing anything about it?

The classes aren't balanced bro! Mercenery is the weakest class. If the don't fix it, all gonna head with Ranger class wich is the most powerfull right now and second sorcerer.

Stat stacking gemling merc is one of the strongest builds right now but it doesn't use crossbow.

that has nothing to do with the mercenary. If you don't like the crossbow just change your weapon. Get a bow or mace or quarterstaff.

The mercenary is a very versatile class. You're not locked to the crossbow if you don't like the gameplay.
This advice also works for other classes. You don't have to stick to the starting weapon of your class.

Huh? Isn't gemling legionnaire like the strongest ascendancy in the game right now? That's mercenary.

gemling IS the strongest for everithing. Xbows are good too BUT you need a right setup for them to become OP dps machineguns.

My question was whether you also have a problem with the crossbow jamming. I press the mouse button and not shoot always and only when I am surrounded.

Never experienced that. I have noticed reloading sometimes takes me longer than I thought it would, but thats cuz I'm interrupting it shooting grenades. I think dodge roll might even interrupt it? But I may be wrong about that.

They know this Crossbow / Mercenary crap is broken and refuse to fix it. Please be aware that all do not select the Mercenary.

crossbows are very fun imo but it needs time to get rolling, once u further progress in level, passives, skills and gear its rly fun, especially the galvanic and shockburst skills.

what made things alot easier at low to mid levels was the unique crossbow called rampart raptor, this crossbow has a endless ammo buff for 4 seconds after a reload, you can just spam frag rounds at low to mid levels and blast through everything till next reload.

also as far as i know the crossbow bug got fixed with the latest big patch, dont have any issues with it anymore.

gemling is good but WH is kinda ass.

culling strike is a joke and only applies if you hit a mob when its BELOW THE THRESHOLD INSTEAD OF ACTIVATING AFTER AN ATTACK BRINGS HP INTO THE THRESHOLD.

for example, if i hit a blue mob for 90% damage which below the 20% threshold, it won't die. i have to hit again. kinda useless. maybe if it did 100% hp of the mob in damage it would work with some overkill mechanics but i need to test that out and as of now it doesn't seem like it does. kinda useless skill imo.

the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crossbow still doesn't shoot properly. it keeps jamming?????? WTF
altar is the place where I always die just because my gun doesn't shoot, it's so frustrating

[Q1]

The most common thing to do with crossbow is shock builds, galvanic to clear and add shock to bosses, burst them with shock burst rounds.

Grenade builds can also work, but are more complicated, and kind of reliant on a particular type of crossbow... good luck getting a level 79 version of it that's worth having.

[kow32]

I'm at level 90 and I play with explosive shot. Clearing maps is rather easy for me, provided that they are not tight but open maps. I have problems with every boss of the map because I lack dps. besides, the altar mechanics kill me in every attempt, which really annoys me because I often see that there is an invitation to the king
