you do know, that range nerf or not, bows are total crap in dps compared to xbows?
yes, but i hate pulling aggro when buffing...and i seem to have a longer aggro range than most i run with...(i usually run with higher levels)
also, gonna be crunching some #'s on damage/dps for bow vs, xbow factoring in damage food, runes, and damage stats along with other damage buffs...i did it a while ago, and the difference between best xbow/bow was almost negligible with the faster speed. dunno if the trend continued, or xbows got more ahead than they were...
plus, i love bows sooo much better than xbows...gives me a reason to switch back
