Crossbows can be good if you have Holy, Of Pure Good, Holy Burst or Flametouched Iron on them.

...even then, they really do seem pretty crappy.

But, what about a new build with rogue mechanic 6/wiz 14? Since rogue mechanic now makes int modifier the damage modifier for repeating crossbow, AND the normal sinergy between rogue and wizard...

Am I wrong or did they just end up taking the int damage out of mech 1? ...

NVM still in there time for some rouge fun

14 Wizard levels. What can you really do? Can't cast, don't have sp.

6 rogue levels... Why not just 20?

At level 20, I'd rate your power at that of a level 16 character.

On a wizard, don't ever use crossbows. You have enough sp to do useful things; even when you're not in full use, you can always heal WF. Trying to deal any useful damage with a crossbow is going to severely cripple your casting ability.
