Talk:The Crossbow Slinger (3.5e Optimized Character Build)

Optimization

It's the most optimal way to use two crossbows in four levels, that for certain.

Except the main purpose of the build is damage, and it fails there hard. Thus, it's not optimized. --Ghostwheel 16:48, 27 August 2009 (MDT)

At no point in the article does the author state that maximizing damage is of any concern to him in regards to his end goal of the build, so the first bit of your statement is inaccurate. Any discussions regarding the rest can be brought up here for the author to read, if you believe damage needs to be increased and have valid ideas on how to do so.   Hooper   talk    contribs    email   15:24, 23 September 2009 (MDT)

other ways to do it

1.Switch out weapon focus at first level to prof hand cbow, then lose far shot for hand crossbow focus (drow of the underdark feat, gives wfoc(hand cbow) and rapid reload as 1 feat, counts as wfocus for qualifying 4 feats, etc) so you can reload the crossbow in your main hand, so since that one will be used a lot, make it magic for more dmg, and no -2 from using light crossbow 1 handed. 2.make the race thrikreen and us multiwepon fighting, and do the same thing as above, just drop quick draw, since you can wield 3 crossbows and load with your 4th hand, leave 4th empty since you get deflect arrows.
