Crossbowmen is remarkably fun to play, now that I can actually one hit-kill stuff.
I got 49 kills in a very short time span at one point when defending a long narrow bridge that partially was underwater at one point.
Only complaint is when I find a very good position to shoot from (like atop of a tower over a narrow chokepoint) and I'm getting a nice killing streak, and then the entire team moves up and I stop getting support xp.
Also, I've found that I can go through 50 bolts VERY fast. Even though my WPF is 30 higher with one-handed weapons, I've found a solid battle axe is much better than a shield+sword because 1. it gives me an extra 50 bolts so I don't constantly have to refill ammo, plus, powerful long weapons are good to use when you're not right on the front line, but a few yards behind several powerful infantrymen who are taking the focus off of you and letting you get lots of easy kills.
