I actually am S/Wd, though I haven't used Shot yet. I had always assumed Autoshot was using Shot, so I let that do its thing while I used Wind Arrows (with Frost Arrow up so the first attack would slow the npc). Most mobs would be dead before they got to me. When I start having to face tougher mobs or bosses I'm sure I'll need a different tactic, so perhaps Shot will become more useful.
