I've been an avid bow user til I hit 80, now I switched to xbow. And no, I'm nowhere near the level that I'd be useful in a Helga hunt, but I must say the damage of my 80 xbow > the damage of my 70 blue bow (both +9). I always figured the faster attack speed of the bow would be more useful then the damage of the xbow, but I find myself spamming skills when I can and then the damage of the xbow is better than the speed of the bow.
