Kanaki is on a distinguished road

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

or you could be a dex/str or dex/end build archer, like me , I was a dex/end build archer with Bow

dex/end takes care of evasion and if you do get hit, you wont take as much dmg

But then, a bow does way less DPS than a crossbow, so if you don't have much STR in your build, a bow isn't really recomendable. Also, if you're DEX/END, using an xBow makes sense because
1. You'll have more DPS
2. The aim difference is made up for by the DEX
3. You'll have a higher crit rate, to make up for your lack of SPR.

Just my opinion...

Oh, and @Kanaki, go for a bow! You're pure STR, and unless you're spamming skills a lot, don't keep the xBow.

Full STR seems to compliment bows more, but using an xbow is cool with it too. You can take advantage of the big crit rate :3

I use both weapons, since both bow and xbow of my are green and are good. But I use my bow mostly, I dont care if I take time to kill mobs :P, i have all the time in the world

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.
