Two handed weapons are a 20% chance to drop, Heavy Crossbow can only roll item level 10 or above. Items appear more often based on your stats and class.

So, I also had an experience taking a long time to get crossbow and hand crossbow, but that's apparently normal.

Stats affect what drops you get.

Yeah patch note says it was your classes primary attribute that determines drops but now its the stat you've invested in the most or something

hard to believe that stats affect drop rates, i get multiple wands from bosses every play through and im running a strength build lol

My wizard get staves and daggers, never wands or tomes. My paladin sees 1h axes 80% of the time, and then 1h mace/sword the rest. Did see 1 crossbow once.

It doesnt affect boss drops. Only chest drops.

Experienced same i was excited when it dropped i loved the witch hunter in HoH1 but man it feels like ♥♥♥♥, has anyone gotten a way to make it not suck? Im sure plenty of weapons see little use though. Havnt tested if the Rangers archery passive applies to xbow since it clearly says Bows so thats a no go; Warrior gets a lot of good +physical stuff but some of his best is melee only.. New shortbow just feels super dominant.
Explosive bolt doesnt feel like a weapon skill it feels like a class skill but without any mutators or good scaling; weapons are best when they play into perks, provide passive benefits (parry/blocking/mobility) or scale well with proc activation (fire tome/shortbow/great axe spin) and explosive bolt just does none of that. Maybe if it stunned or left behind burning
