why is chaotic crossbow such a joke?

Featured Replies

Hello, as more and more no-lifers are getting chaotic weapons each day.. it is obvious that they have overlooked the chaotic crossbow, and with good reason. the chaotic crossbow is (simply put) a rune crossbow with +10 range bonus.. while basically EVERY other chaotic weapon (besides perhaps the staff) is amazing, this seems like something someone would get maybe to complete their chaotic weapon collection. it's not even worth the risk to take into pvp for the extra +10 range bonus.. and 2million to recharge? whose sticking with a one time cost of 16k for rune?

 

have any of you personally used it?

do you think jagex will be updating it?

what is your opinion?

Seems like range got the short end of the stick this time with the c'bow and vambraces. Mage (for once) and melee were preferred here. In almost every combat update mage gets something useless/not worthwhile, so this is a needed change.

true. mage got some needed gear/prayer. melee got 3 new weapons though. they basically get a jacked up whip, godsword, and vestas longsword.

Apparently, it has a faster fire rate than the rune xbow, Karil xbow/Bone xbow speed, I believe.

 

If so, then it's amazing.

Way to get my hopes up lol. After paying a visit to YouTube, it seems to be the same speed as a rune crossbow. It would have been nice if they made the crossbow not degrade and you'd have to buy chaotic bolts or something.

Oh, was just a rumor I heard. Good to know then.

i saw a video on yt (would post it but i'm sick and i'm going to bed as soon as i hit add reply) where the guy uses it in the safe free for all portal. he did pretty well but then again he had a crazy ranged bonus and a range-boosting prayer(level 138). it was definatley the same speed as the rune crossbow. if it had karils speed, i'd settle for a 90 range bonus even at that token cost.

chaotic bolts for pack 2 would be ftw.

DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers rings

QBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow parts

It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.

I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

It seriously needs to be changed. So does the staff. They're basically just novelty weapons.

To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.

Can the chaotic staff cast miasmic barrage?

If so then its not a total loss like this xbow.

He just successfully trolled you with "courtesy" and managed to get a reaction out of you. Lol

I don't think so, but that would definitely give it a use. Good idea.

Agreed, that is a great idea.

 

And to zaaps...you raised my hopes for the xbow and then smashed them like...a smashable thing.

Yeah, the gravite shortbow is also dumb, +11 range attack for 40k tokens??? The gravite 2h and staff are worth way more
