YT comments highly recommend the crossbow - Dark and Darker 

So many great fights that had me at the edge of my seat. Really cool to c u incorporate crossbow into ur own style.

I think you should open combat with the windlass crossbow from super close range; like a lot of these times you sneak up on someone and melee them, you could have just had your windlass out first while you were waiting in the dark. Shoot them point blank, then switch to your primary and finish them off. Nothing makes even the most geared player panic like a surprise windlass headshot. I never try to go for any shot with crossbow that’s further than like 10 feet, because I’m always looking for it as a front loaded burst shotgun. It’s also really good as a mixup; let’s say you start off meleeing, and as you’re going back and forth, if they take a few steps back but are still planning to engage, you can whip out the crossbow for a quick punish and switch back after.

listen dude play the way you want. when i first saw your videos i had a pretty big respect for the idea that you were like "ehh im just not gonna confine to ranged meta and play my own way" that is the problem with this community is there's too many people saying you have to play in certain ways. I've been playing this game since ea released and I've been playing your fighter build as of recent and learned blocking because it looked fun, I do run a crossbow on mine, however its almost completely unnecessary in almost every situation and id even argue that I've had more situations where a chase weapon would have been more viable. I have ran some extremely bis versions of your build this wipe and I hardly ever even think to use the crossbow when I run them. I ran crossbow on fighter to put pressure on caster and range classes, that's unnecessary when you're good at blocking. ill also say i play this build in a non rat way, no turning off lights and creeping or any of that, I'm not shit talking or anything im just saying you don't need the crossbow even if you're not utilizing stealth.

Your Edit are getting really good. you are defently going in the right way. good intro i defently laugh at that, also with the text when you miss the shots or when you talk. keep doing it makes it way more fun. also can recommend when you have player who also talk in game putting title to read wat they say could be good and also funny depends wat they say. One thing wat i also recommend is put the in game sound a little lower and put a background music. Can be also funny when you have a cool combat and having a combat music or when somebody does something silly having music in the back round can be also good. Really good video and i had a lot of fun watching it :D Keep it up !!

I like how you hit bers at 11:18 and he goes "AHH THAT HURT"

Blinn I’m back for anotha tip, when you ask about pricing, a tip is to go to market check rarity and then filter the best roll on the gear to get a rough estimate on what it’s worth/will sell for.

Amazing plays bro! So nice to see a different play style and skill espression as opposed to the usual stat checks. I'm not afraid of W key Barbs anymore. Thank you my fighter brother. 🙏

crossbow definitely goes hard with your playstyle, great for those ambushes

Dude that intro was amazing haha. Love the edits. Welcome to the crossbow dark side captain of the sword and board.

Hey Blinn, i'm back with another report: My fighter is lvl 40 now and is sitting in Pathfinder 1. I've been enjoying weapon mastery with recurve/longbow lately, it really helps with warlocks in this meta and you can just spam them outside their curse range. Also, if you feel extra spicy you can run with windlass crosbow + bow(recurve preferably) and snipe somebody with that juicy AWP then instantly swap to a bow. Would love to see you try my tech now after i played with yours haha. As always, keep it up, i'll be back in the next video.

Nice job. This is mostly how I play my fighter (Level 105 currently). If you ever wanna team up, add constrictor to friends

i love watching your videos brother. another great one for the books! the addition of crossbow is a very smart play. dont RELY on it, however, take every opportunity you can to win every fight you come into. opening with a successful crossbow shot will only help you win more. if you miss? oh well, fall back to your defense first playstyle and take the honorable fight!

Some days it its like you cant miss with the crossy and other days you'd swear desync is eating your bolts. A fun normals crossbow centric fighter build id recommend for crossbow practice is slayer with windlass, hand crossbow, and arming sword. You've gotten really gd good at blocking of course, but running a ms slayer without a shield once and a while is a good perspective reset on what attacks you actually have to block and which ones can just be dodged. I personally find myself fishing for blocks a little to hard running heater fighter, although if I was as good with the sheild as you that wouldnt be near as much a problem lol. Good stuff

yo you have so much patience hearing the rat druids and ignoring them lol as soon as I hear one I jump out of inv screen lol

victory strike imo is best for halberd or other polearm fighter builds

That mr.deeds reference had me dying 😂

Would it be viable to reload your crossbow while chasing down a phantomized warlock? Seems like whenever phantomize spells are used, the player is trying to flee the furthest distance. You can activate sprint to get some groundage but i bet it's relieving to know you don't have to be in striking distance, just another free crossbow shot once they phase back in?

bro I am watching your videos and I'm just don't understand how do u have this little subscribers and views?? All videos with nice names, previews, edit, sound, content overall, and u seem like a nice guy, and no one watches u???? Keep going man love u

Great content

you can block demon form kinda easy its just weird. its like a kris daggers first hit even though the animation doesnt really look like that

what an intro

nice guide

Is swift just not worth it for you?

Epic

I play slayer arming, short sword, and longsword, fuck the meta

i run with windlass crossbow + falchion/arming shield and in inventory bow or xbow (if i miss with windlass or don't oneshot ) ... windlass + victory strike = pain in the ass

1:10 Bro rocket jumped the fireball and then did the closest thing this game has to a counterspell: Made the wizard eat his own splash damage. 🤣

just because its legendary (yellow) the axe the barb had , doesnt mean its worth anything you woulda made a ton more money taking his kit instead of filling up on his 300 gold axe

some prices i thibk where wey to low

lets run some duos tn im trying to learn frost area

I don't understand any reason for going into normals other than farming pelts or quests. You should just play HR.

Great video as always man I don’t like to use crossbow either and again im a bard main. Something about range just feels lame as hell anyways lol
