We need to be able to switch off the crossbow instead of reloading
The crossbow is a great weapon, but with the recent speed changes in combat we really need to be able to switch off of the crossbow while it's reloading, and then reload when we switch back. Right now you fire and then it takes forever to reload, during which time you're completely vulnerable and unable to block.
It makes the bow looks so much better even if the damage is significantly lower.
