Jump reloading

[Yvain]

As for me, crossbowmen shouldn't be able to run and shoot. In NI crossbowmen are intentionnally slow, wear good armors, and at good both at range and melee. I can understand some archers prefer to equip only bow+arrows+arrows, even if I prefer to carry a 1 handed weapon too. But as regards to crossbowmen, it sounds more logical to equip 1h + crossbow + bolts + support, and during the battle drop the support item and pick up a shield. If you really ignore crossbowmen's melee skills, playing as a crossbowman should be quite boring for you : I support tsuki's point of view (Beginner's guide to the Sharpshooter class)
I would however enjoy to be able to reload while jumping, but does it make any sense ? I think you have to wedge the crossbow with your foot when you want to reload...
