if you're soloing someplace sprawling like OT or something a good bow and high range fletched arrows will save you a lot of time pulling mobs, big range diff between bow pulls and spells
beyond that i never found much use with such a low cap

Generally I just use it for pulling. Because of the arrow flight time you can shoot an arrow and get out of LoS before you engage which is nice for casters. The range is also better than most spells, so it can speed up the pulls or make you competitive for certain FTE races.
As for bow kiting, it's a legit strategy. You can kill shit outdoors way above your level for minimal mana. Send pet, DoT it up and weave in bow shots. The weighted axe makes the bow shots very reasonable. | ||

Also, I haven't tried it, but since bow procs go off melee weapon delay, you might be able to quad at 35 with Skydarkener and a Weighted Axe.

While bowquest is very real in PvP it isn't so much in PvE.
SKs get Double attack with melee weapons not exactly archery. While the WA is a gimmick it only increases archery damage for SK Ogres and Trolls. SKs get an archery skill cap of 75 Those on the Red Server abusing bowquest in PvE are most likely Barbs, Ogres and Trolls Warriors. With a much higher archery skill cap and often their utilizing Precision Discipline. And I would argue that a 60 Warrior in melee in most fights is doing more damage than a Warrior using this gimmick. | ||
