I actually disagree avenstar -- my triplexbow ranger does a HUGE amount of damage. Even with hunter quarrels, you hit for around 20 damage with a HUGE number of arrows. Forget about crits - he kills stuff with DAMAGE so fast that melee often doesn't get a chance to engage!

The only reason to use Eagle Eyes is if you're poor (unlikely, with alchemy). 40% damage PALES in comparison to a whole TWO extra attacks.

(Note: 20 damage is with STR maxed; i have no idea why people suggest you max dex/senses before str for archers. My archers hit stuff just fine by pumping ranged combat and bow -- I want my stats to give me DAMAGE)
