How to read this

Bolts per load, the reload speed modifier, attack damage (% of the crossbow's damage) and attack speed (% of its attack rate) are read from each skill's two parts in the game files: the "Load" skill and the attack it fires.
Seconds and bolts per second use a crossbow with a 0.8 s reload and 1.6 attacks per second — the most common crossbow base (Makeshift Crossbow, Varnished Crossbow, Construct Crossbow…), before any modifiers. Compare bases in best crossbow bases.
Mana is the cost to load the clip and, where there is one, the cost of each shot.
Which class has the most crossbow passives near its start: best class for crossbows.
