Bow or Crossbow | The Ultimate Decision

The math in this thread is so wrong it makes me want to cry. Whomever did the math has not been paying attention to any testing we've done in the past three-four years. Arrow Bomb is a static 50% impact damage. That increases the entire table for Arrow Bomb by 14%. Iron Arrow runs off of a 10% damage reduction per monster now. Inferno does 237.5% damage per monster on fire-weak. Bow/Crossbow firing speeds are all 3600/43 = 83.721 shots per minute (plus the "pickup time"). Why does the table for single target damage show Strafe being weaker than Double Shot (not to mention Arrow Blow LOL) at level 70? Gahhh, so much is wrong!

I skimmed over the thread and it looks alright. Not sure why it doesn't cover 4th job, and some of the information is a bit biased. I am a huge Inferno fan, but a some people prefer dropping a few points from it for max MB in 4th job. There were a lot of other debates that were ignored. And actually, why is this even considered in a class choosing guide?

that was written... what... a year and half ago?

i don't think there was much update going on it for a while...
