I'd go with crossbow until you start missing and getting regular bow as the dps/dpm is better for the crossbow than the regular bow and the only difference is aim. Though since you are an archer it's unlikely that you will be missing much as you get a lot of dex per level.

Yeah, your dex increase from leveling gives adequate accuracy. Go with crossbow.

The meaning of victory is not to defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his every achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can recover. That is the meaning of victory.

How did you get your font to be so big and readable? o.O

Anyway on topic, I was wondering if I should go xbow too! It was hard to decide on having faster attack but lower dmg or vice versa. Although bows do look cooler imo.

You never miss, huh...

And Grudger, it really depends on your build. Bows have more accuracy and faster fire rate, but crossbows are more powerful, although slow. Personally I use a crossbow, cause I tend to keep DEX:SPR 1 to 1 ratio, so I crit a lot.

As Belaslav says, it depends on your build. If you're looking for a critical build, it's probably better to use a crossbow. Crossbow's not only provide more critical (the attack speed is negligible in concerning criticals) but give a bigger bang when they proc.

If you want to use a strength build, it's probably best to use the bow, as the bonus damage syncs quite well with your higher fire rate.

Aesthetically, I'd pick the bow, hands down. Bows are the sex.
