Notice that going tier 3 will raise the weapon ML to 20
Heroic ToEE crossbow is level 7
GS is level 12
ADQ crossbow (storm) is level is level 12
Archon's trial crossbow is level 13
Even if you create an iconic how do you grind a 5 levels without any of the above?
Anyway..for tier 1 I'd probably chose earth or fire
http://ddowiki.com/page/Alchemical_CraftingEarth has earthgrab too while fire has seeker 10. Water may seems nice but is basically like earth without earthgrab.
You could try making a T1, a T2 and a T3 but it takes 3 Xbows and lots of materials
EDIT
Now that I think of it, fire would be better since GXBows are slow so it translates to a small percentage of seeing earthgrab proc. Seeker 10 MAY be a better choice
Thx for the response!
As far as level goes:
I will be crafting my xbow "on the go", I.E. I will start with lvl 16 wep and while leveling, upgrade it to lvl 18, respectively lvl 20. SInce I am going to start as Iconic, I will only have to use some other GxBow for one level (I have GS repeater hidden somewhere so that will do). If that was not the case (And I didnt mentioned it), your point would be very valid though, so, thx.
Freezing Ice vs GSP - GSP procs on natural vorpal (I.E. when knockdown from GXB will proc, making it redundant), Freezing Ice has 5% chance to proc on any attack, making it equall in chance to proc, but making it relevant, since there is much smaller chance that it procs together with vorpal knockdown.
Ofc, its a good question if water is better than fire even when this considered. right now, my "selling point for water" is the fact, that on lvl 20, I will get my hands on tier 3 Ring of the stalker that has seeker 6.
Your thoughts?
ALso, I am undecided on Tier 2... Water/Air/Earth sounds all good for different reasons. le sigh.
Ah, nad I havemats for one Xbow. so... thats that.
