I believe I have seen a 900+ Trueshot crit with Windstriker, but not 1000+. Also, that needs the double damage bonus from a non-rooted target, which I don't think we get here, so wouldn't apply to Yelinak.
Archery is good for certain fights. It compares better if most of your force is not BIS geared since an Exquisite Vellium bow is like 93% of BIS ranged damage but a cheap melee pairing is not 93% of BIS melee damage. If there are fight mechanics that disrupt DPS that can be avoided by range, and the fight is short enough that Trueshot covers it, it can be top tier DPS.
https://wiki.project1999.com/File:Ranger_bazzt_zzzt.png for example is a Queen Bee parse where the tank died. Melee DPS got disrupted hard by her stupid hitbox and flying around killing people, Ranger DPS was basically unaffected.
Can also be good on Gorenaire, where its a little worse than Wizards but still about as good as a Druid or Zlexak. Not bad on other non-rooted dragons just dodging fear, but not as noticeable as the slow AOE ones. I would assume probably good on Hoshkar and other VP dragons but have no VP experience.
