There aren't simple answers to most of your questions; we don't know the inner workings of archery damage calculations well enough to just plug in numbers and spit out a value.

That being said:
-Crit chance should be identical to a Warrior's melee crit chance
-Strength has no impact on ranged damage
-Arrow damage, as far as I know, is added directly to bow damage before anything else
-Even with the perfect conditions you listed, archery damage will not be comparable to melee damage
Never thought archery > melee. i'm only looking to understand how archery works here.

Specifically, I don't understand how the double damage bonus works. If windstriker is a 45/60 does that mean its a 90/60? if i have 255 dex, how does that actually affect the 45 damage? does attack rating also and if so how? would the double damage apply after taking my dex and attack into account? arrows? does the critical strike bonus damage include the double damage? or does the double damage double the crit?

i'm just not sure, and want to better understand this aspect of my class. there must be some player out there that has cracked the secret code to how archery works?

teach me.
