Well, not sure where exactly it was that i read it b4, but somewhere i read that mechs will add their int to the damage with xbow on U5, however, i see no mentioning of that on this post here http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=248658 that gives the info about the U5
will mechs add int to xbow dmg or will they just get proficiency with them?

On the Lamannia test server right now that is how it works. When using a crossbow, a mechanic gets to add Int to the damage bonus. It's making for some interesting repeating crossbow builds. I'm a skeptic on how well this is actually going to work as opposed to TWF (even with the nerf), but I'll wait and let some other guinea pigs try it out before I cast judgment.

One thing I'd be careful about are the rogue builds trying to put Improved Preices shot into the build. Because Yes its good for ranged builds , but if you are trying to get sneak damage on all of them... you and all the monsters basicly have to be set up along the lines of... the diamater of a fireball or so... but then i'd hate to see all the kinds of agro that would get the rogue.
But that is just me thery crafting and what not so can't take it on with my word hehe. But I would still build me a Mechanic ranged build because I'm all kinds of gimp building!

thx for the reply^^ , but now that yall mentioned, how was twf nerfed in the end? Some ppl say that it will only reduce dmg on main hand and increase a bit on the offhand, other that it will go with the percentage thing like 55% chance of attack with offhand... so how is twf goin to b nerfed exactly?

Last I heard each main hand attack had a chance to proc an off-hand attack. 20% with no feats, 40% with TWF, 60% with ITWF and 80% with GTWF.
If it's been changed again I wouldn't know though, and the post of Eladrin I'm pulling that from was last edited about 25 days ago, so that may be inaccurate.
So if it is, anyone who really knows I'd love you forever if you told me.
