Use it in PvP, not grinding...this isn't a lvling game.

Damage isn't everything. You can deal decent dmg with Proj. Rain while staying from afar. Of course you could sneak up using camo, but then you might have a hard time getting back to your allies. Besides proj. rain has a higher area and you could lay some very good traps with it.

projectile rain is not that good...it looks nice on paper...and I used it in my early marks days too...but since there are so much "bubble boys" around it is not wortt to use it...about 80% of all targets will either bloc, resist, evade or get 0 dmg.

A marks has better area spells than the areas in bow disciplines and from the hunters point of view rep shoot is the better spell due to camo. And getting away...well...it is no problem...use sotw

Rep shot will get blocked/resisted/evaded too and proj. rain hits more enemies.

yes, the miss chance is the same, but you can choose far better on which spot you cast it because you are close the the targets. When there are standing some knights around and you cast rep shoot on them it is your fault.

Also...I prefer high damage on a few targets than medium damage on much targets....better 3 dead enemies and 2 with much hp than 5 half dead enemies

I use a short bow for grinding too....it depends on how you use it. I kill faster with short than long.

I know how bad you feel when you try to rely on the information on regnumzg.com...should be updated

I rely on my own memory. The spell was changed (should I say improved) then. I knew it was now weapon damage, didn't know range was improved too (or more like: it wasn't in the changelog).

Necrovarus what level is your archer ?

It's not to be rude at all:
- From lvl 28 to 32 I really enjoyed SB because I had one good SB with dexterity bonus.
- From lvl 32 to 45 or 46 I really enjoyed the long bow starting from composite impale one. They have a good range and good amount of dmg.
- and now I switch from SB to LB because SB at my level can give really huge amount of dmg comparing to low lvl SB and dual shot isn't mana expensive.

This is my noob experience opinion.

Short ones...

I use both short and long bows. Currently im set up for short bows, but i change my setup all the time.

Both have their places. By and large, if i could only use one type, i do definitely prefer longbows. They're a lot more flexible in battle.
