Although I had been using a crossbow all my Archer's life... I'd prefer the Bow if it actually had the 0.9 attack rate. I'm all about speed over power when it comes to weapons.
Other than that, bows just look better.

Hmm.
Yeah, at 40 I'm gonna start using xBow... but I hate how they look D:
But xBow damage can be as much as 3x as much as Bow :O

xbows are preferred for me.
I usually kite, so the maximum amount of regular shots I'd put in if all poisons hit (3) is 0, LOL. So yeah, an xbow's speed is no problem for me, since I hardly use regular shots anyways.
I also love the crit rate. I've gotten used to the constant screen shake and basically a bow just doesn't give me that shake xD
And I like how xbows look! xD They might not be as pretty as bows are, especially when walking, when running xbows look awesome o:
But yeah, I've used both bows and xbows from level 20 --> 40, and I have an xbow and bow for lvl 50 though I probably won't get there. Though I sometimes switch, I normally stick to xbows.

I prefer bows for looks, xbow for atk power & crit. I've only used an xbow since level 20 (just picked it at first to try it out). I do carry bows with me cause I find a lot of crappy onces :/ I only switch to them when I'm bored because of of it.
I don't know if speed matters to me, haven't used a bow seriously in awhile. Never had a problem with xbow's speed either really, but maybe cause I can take hits (I rarely kite)? Or maybe it's the xbows I'm using. *shrugs* o-o
I might use a bow at level 50 (if i ever get there) or an xbow, don't know, just depends on what I can buy when I get there. o-o

I use the x bow love the dam, but alot depends on your build. If your all str then bow is the way to go, end or dex go with the x bow.

In my opinion X-Bow is better, I would like a better attack rate with them but in other cases they work just fine.
With my Full Str build X-Bow does show Extra Damage with it.
:3 So X-Bows FTW

Xbow because of higher damage and higher crit rate. Slower speed wont hurt you at all since you will mostly be spamming skills in parties.

Depending on build bows actually can do far more damage than an Xbow. My +9 Xbow only hit slightly higher than an unenhanced bow in terms of total damage over time. But ya, bow ftw in my case.
