Well it depends on a few different things. As a rng/war yeah you are gonna wanna go with the Armbrust because of the +3 r. acc. Although if you have some of the better ranger equipment, forget about the Armbrust and go with the Heavy Xbow +1. More damage less delay and more +r. attack. Heck I would say that if you are anything but an Elvaan Rng/war, go with the heavy xbow +1.

why would you ignore onthius' bow? Unless you aren't ranger...

in that case go with armbrust, because if you're not ranger, you need all the +acc you can get.

I believe he is excluding Obow because he doesn't have 67 yet. I'm thinking this is for up to lvl 67.

Up until then he should probably be using a bow, ie War Bow +1 or Sarnga. Both are going to outdamage any crossbows up to Othinius' bow

[TaruSGonEWilD]

I'm not even sure that using a sarnga will outdamage a heavy crossbow +1 with darksteel bolts. The delay is less than half that of a sarnga. If the sarnga is deaingl more than half the damage then, yeah, you'll want to use that as main weapon outside of leveling your marksmanship skill. Some people just like using a xbow more than a bow to timo. The versatility it provides is refreshing. Acid bolts and Bloody bolts are amazingly useful. Acid bolts in conjunction with darksteel bolts would deal some sick damage i'd imagine.
