Repeater Crossbow

[k4mi]

Yep, Arba is between 650-900k and is far better than Repeater IMO, Repeater is for close combat near a shieldwall or so, nothing a Crossbower schould focus on IMO.

You are comparing apples with bananas. The Repeater is really a machine behind a shieldwall if you get used to it. But it is really for close combat only.
But as you said Arbalest is brilliant compared to price/dmg. So you should really aim for Arbalest before you thinking about a repeater.
