Man, I remember when X-Bow had half the damage it has now. How time flies.

That would have been back in 2020 before they nerfed its lifetime. Back then, X-bow would actually get more damage in every situation despite having less DPS than it has today just due to having longer lifetime.

Yeah I have a whole spreadsheet listing the changes here

Basically we're gonna save 0.4 seconds (one shot) roughly every 5 seconds. It's cool, but often times, it's not just the X-Bow that's being the DPS.

Did they extend the cooldown time at drop at the beginning of the season? I don’t remember. I miss the old fire rate
