Can someone tell me a reason not to take crossbows in the release, now that they lost the 3 ap disadvantage? The worse movement I don't see at that big a problem on a ranger with Far Out Man.
I have a bow on my Sebille elven ranger for nostalgia lore reasons but it's hard to avoid the better crossbows stats. And I also find a lot more good crossbows than bows in the (early) game.
Even without Far-out-man, there are so many movement abilites, a ranger will hardly care about the slight movement loss, so no idea, why they changed it that way.
I always took crossbow anyway, because it works better with skills.
