Late hard mode and ragnarok are really where the crossbow class shines, assuming there isn't an idiot stood behind you and peeking at your window it's laughably easy to headshot everything, but I do know what you mean by the Arbalest not quite cutting it, generally taking 2 solid headshots to down an enemy.
This is where the bigshot would be perfect, although almost half the reload speed of the Arbalest, killing an enemy in one hit and therefore reducing the amount of times you have to risk peeking out is always preferable. Although there are more ragnarok games starting up recently, hardmode still gets a damnsight more play time and as you've said the champion's very well suited to that.
As for the repeater...I've never been a fan of them...so it's hard to not be bias...but unless you're shooting at the mobs bashing into the shield wall then don't get one, for ragnarok you really need to be focusing on the Einherjar rangers/snipers, your team will thank you for this, trust me, and you aren't going to be hitting them with a repeater.
We had a ragnarok event with the CC the other day (Killed Odin) and I think we only had 4 commandos, rest were a mixed of ranged and it was pretty easy, with the exception of Thor...guy's a pain in the arse.
