Can we get Heavy Crossbows?

I noticed there are crossbows, but not heavy Crossbows. They are the sniper rifles of crossbows. I really want to have a scout with a heavy crossbow! I want slow reloading animation, but higher damage and armor penetration, long travel distance and faster travel time. High risk, high reward!

    Crossbow in Age of Conan used to have a knockdown ability, would knockdown multiple people in a given radius. It was never classified as Heavy Crossbow just Crossbow, its not clear what functionalities Crossbows in Ashes of Creation will have at launch.

    Ballista* with AoEs? I've seen this in another MMO and the class got removed. It was cool with magical explosions, dots and traps.

    I don't want Ballistas, you can use siege weapons outside sieges or in the open world. That would break the game.

    I don't know how I feel about machinery being in game.
    Crossbows and balista are pretty simplistic and awesome though, so doubt I'd complain!

    It can be a two handed weapon, but if you already know that, ok. I've never heard of heavy crossbow, so Ballista came to mind.

    Think of it as if you can spam a crossbow without much of a risk, heavy crossbow, each shot matters if you miss it's bad, if you don't, you have an advantage. Just a heavy crossbow.
