I have one of the lightest setups for Aventurier.
Im total in weight 2+(body armour)+0.25+3+3+1+0.5 = 9.75 without armour
Let's say i buy the lootable one well im at 14.75w.
Well let's see how it compares with other classes (note Avent has 9 Athletics)
My Leg set up (8 Athletics)
1+20+0.25+1+1+0.5+1 = 24.75w
My Mara set up (10 Athletics)
0.5w+1+0.1+0.25+0.5+3+3 = 8.35w
My Senti set up (8 Athletics)
1+6+0.5+0.25+1+1+0.5 = 10.25w
I think for aventurier to shine normal Xbows need to be 1 weight like bows or at least 2. Better boots for xbow may have a reason to be really wanted as Swadian Boots at 3 is heavy for a kiting class.
For why i think aventurier may need even more than this... well its the play style of having an xbow when kiting. It needs to reload so basically you need to stop and reload. Other classes that can kite with ranged don't have this problem.
For this reason, i think if aventurier goes down the line of its speed becomes more of a reason to pick the class. I think it should be the fastest or closer to pikeman speed.
On the topic of Aventurier, i did talk to Terath about moving Noble Bastion and Swadian Half-Board Shield to this class and buffing the shielding to 7 or 8 this way it can be a backup shielder like most of the Inf classes and hoplite.
In turn, it would in some way nerf the other 3 heroes as they can't use them.
With this class having
