Heavy Crossbow skill

General notes

Very high round time to load, but the highest damage you can get with 1 second round time. Load up a pile of these and you have some serious snapable damage. Good for PvP and thieves. There are two types of HX. The non-arbalest type are just like longer loading, harder hitting versions of LX, but require an open hand to load and aim. These can be loaded and worn on on the shoulder. A arbalest type HX have load time some where between 18 and 21 seconds, can be used with only one open hand, but can not be loaded then worn on the shoulder. [1]
