Axbow/Exbow (in General)

Wiki:
Drains DX: Drains 1% DX per x4 (i.e. A [4x40] Assassin's Crossbow drains 10% DX per damage dealing hit.)
Drains ST: Drains 1% ST per x4 (i.e. A [4x40] Enforcer's Crossbow drains 10% ST per damage dealing hit.)

So, the amount of stats drained is solely dependant on the number of x enchantments?
Would it be worthwhile to equip our enchanters/CoC/decay mages with x32 +100 exbows? Unless the target has extremely crazy armor, 20 strength with an x32 will still do about.. 1k damage?

I've been experimenting with that idea. I'm using An Enforcer's Crossbow [4x28] (+31) on my enchanter. He's only able to hit a few of the characters on my favorites list (probably mages with no dex), and only on some of the hits does ST get drained. I usually do less than 100 damage per hit, and the bit of ST drain doesn't seem to make any difference.

The Wiki is off a bit, In the last change month Jon changed the axbow and enbow to be more effective. Check the change logs.

Per the May 16th post by Jon in the Change Log:

"Increased drain by axbow/exbow; also added a non-percentage factor to make them more useful at low levels."

And the +100 is very pricey to boot.

yeah. +100 is quite expensive indeed.
As for the somewhat new change, I have a feeling its both linear and percentage wise dex/str decrease maybe a linear minimum drain with a percentage maximum drain. So the concept still lives. ;)

So.. if you are willing to shell out enough (haha), you can reduce the stats of the opponent through this method. :)
