Solid point.
And I agree it could be made much more appealing. It was lazily done. Although it actually works fine as is, visually not so much.
I’ve seen a few posts (not necessarily even on this forum) regarding this realism aspect of the hunter class and I can’t stress enough that it is a fantasy game. Of all the issues with specs and classes and things that don’t make sense “realistically” I think this should just get put on the backburner to fix the plethora of other issues.
Think all the posts asking for SV to be some weapon-swapping nonsense finally got to me.
Just needs to be a bow or spear class. The tiny crossbow is troll enough as is.
