Archery? Does it get better?

[Fanguru]

Most answers are in the wiki archery link.
tl;dr:

• higher dex, higher archery skill, , better bow, better arrows, atk buffs and worn items = better damage
• ranged atk not displayed != melee atk displayed
• no damage bonus on range slot
• archery sucks, even after 55
• good for pulling, sometimes useful for soloing

It's fun to shoot an arrow or two while running back to the dragon or hairy blob after eating a fear, apart from that, meh.
