Arrows do double damage on stationary, unrooted targets. If you root them you lose half the damage potential from archery.
It's also really annoying to spam archery when you don't have Endless Quiver, especially considering how many arrows it takes to bring down a mob. I recall reading a guide way back in classic on how to solo a hill giant at level 30 on a ranger (or it may have been 39 for SoW), either way the guide just said get 400 arrows and kite him for an hour lol. <3 those classic "guides".
