and i was wanting to ask when im in a group should i be meleing or using by bow attacks looked through some guides and never saw a clear cut answer

Answering this again for clarity... Assuming the melee weapons and bow are of similar quality, melee will be higher dps. However, with the use of the trueshot disc, which isn't available until level 55, bow damage will be higher than melee for two minutes. The remaining seventy minutes melee will be higher dps. Thus, without the use of trueshot, melee dps will be approx double that of archery dps. Even at level 60. Even with the best bow in the game.
