Once PoP came out the PoP bows outparsed everything short of time weapons, without Trueshot.
PoP bows were a mistake in some regards. Their power and ease of attainability (in that they were tradeable and the water - 2nd best ratio - was off just trash mobs), compared to EP raid weapons wasn't even a comparison.
The only time our Rangers melee'd in Luclin and PoP fights was when a mob would be corner ranked (meaning the arrows would get lost in the wall and do 0 damage). It forced us to adjust positioning and balance push if Trueshot DPS was required to win the fight. This is why we would often tank Terris Thule (Time) out in the middle of her swampy corner instead of cornered.
