A crossbow did 50. Now take into comparisin(misspelled again!) The speed and the bow did more. Now a crossbow did way more with skills.

Now i'm wondering, in higher lvls you have to party to lvl up. And since archers skill have such a high cooldown, would it be better to use a bow for dps?

PS: Can someone tell me how to spell comparisin.
Bow most likely won't be better for DPS because xbows have a higher crit % on top of the fact that they do more damage skill wise. The aspd isn't enough to deter the fact that xbow will have a higher dps, even with skill cooldown time factored in.

I could be easily wrong since no one has really done a test with this with a semi-high level archer.

Comparisin is spelled comparison.
