You get a much better rate of fire with a bow; but, Crossbows do a lot more damage. There are plenty of great bows available of both kinds. I always base my choice on how I envision the charactor using it.

yeah, xbows are strong and slow, bows arent quite as strong, but theyre faster

for an archer, i would choose a bow...just because...archers use bows [img]smile.gif[/img]

for a fighter, i would choose a xbow to hit them hard a few times as they close in on me, then change to my main weapon

I have played an archer and I tend to agree bows for archers and cross bows for those that can use them. For the above stated reasons.
