Eons ago on when ranger was my primary and before luclin and aa’s were a thing I carried 2 bows types. I always carried the best bow ratio I could get my hands on but also kept a high damage bow around regardless of damage/delay ratio to use for soloing. Arrows are, at times, a limited commodity. For solo purposes having a high impact but less than optimal delay was preferable to me when soloing as your per shot (expending an arrow) damage helped conserve your supply. High ratio came out for trueshot runs. Tolans was a heaven-send but I frequently fletched better arrows on the fly.
Velious makes this easier with 30 dmg velium bows but there still needs to be a head nod to underfoot bow from the hole with 33 base damage. Huntsman has a better ratio but the 30 delay can have you going through arrows pretty fast. The proc is always nice but remember it may have you needing to recast root more often.
