Heavy or Light Crossbow of the Undying Age?

[Oliphant]

Hearing some folks prefer light for faster attack rate. Not sure which way I should go.

While the faster attack rate is important while leveling, at cap it's barely noticeable. Honestly, I think the only reason to go light crossbow is if you're playing a gnome and have enough racial ap to get the light xbow damage boost.

Yeah, I'm thinking given how powerful the special attacks are, the rate of fire on normal attacks is not a huge bonus.

If the base attack rate is slower and you add all your attack rate bonuses there will a greater effect on the slower attack rate and there will only be a slight difference between heavy and light repeaters attack rates. The attack rate cap is 67.5 for all ranged/thrown attacks reducing total frames for each attack.

I went light, but that was because it gave me a bit more flex between difference races. This to me is more important if it is a shared resource and requires crafting and feeding. If I didn't need/want that flex, I'd probably go heavy.
