I'd have to disagree with you on that Dald. Using an elemental bow was never higher dps for me unless using TS disc. That was with max worn haste and fleeting quiver. Melee weaps pre time I was using Stone etched mallet 26/28 1hb and 16/20 1hs from SSRA in Luclin

Depends on how much you crit with the bow, since you can't crit with melee.

Plus, the effective range of archery was outside of AE range and for a while it was very rare to grab aggro from archery damage, even Trueshot disc damage, until the rogues and wizards screamed about it. I think that made it very attractive to use archery via melee in that area if the mob was not clipped into a wall.
