Found crossbow damnation; what to do?
I started a NaWn, found Chei on D2, and meant to go with 1-handed axe and shield. Now I'm in the Spider's Nest and find the crossbow damnation, the one shooting damnation.
What would you do? Throw away the shield and stop training shields? I have some nice two-handed axes in my stash somewhere (actually much better than my one-handed specimens so far). Or should I forget about the crossbow and continue throwing stuff, like I did so far?

What would you do? Throw away the shield and stop training shields? I have some nice two-handed axes in my stash somewhere (actually much better than my one-handed specimens so far). Or should I forget about the crossbow and continue throwing stuff, like I did so far?
