Crossbow vs Bow

[MrTaceo]

wait so what is the difference between the two now? I just noticed that my crossbow only takes 2 ap to fire..I have heard before it took 3 ap to fire..so is it only stat wise to know what to pick? or is there any hidden stat between the two?

Bow arcs, crossbow is straight. Dunno if it ever matters but there ya go

You'll want bows if you're firing ontop of ledges, but in all honesty, you should always have high ground as a ranged character, so crossbows are usually the better choice

I just go for better stats.

also usually crossbows have -movement and higher damage but with escape skill movement doesn't really matter

[Gilgamesh]

Crowsbow's damage is just superior, that -1movement really doesnt matter if you stack tactical retreat, shadow jump and phoneix dive.

Tactical Retreat sounds great...thanks. I also think another party member can use the teleport skill to move the archer to higher ground. So, I will be switching to crossbow.
