If you think Windstriker is "totally useless" I encourage you to play on a GM server and summon one. Play with it a bit and then you'll see how powerful it is. Hint: the proc is a long duration stun.

Also, I'm fairly positive that Trueshot was added between Kunark and Velious (during Kunark). Not going to look for specific evidence atm but here's the patch message from Velious's release:

*Velious Patch*

Today's patch requires that Velious subscribers press the "Velious
Patch" button on the patch program UI.

- Several disciplines (Resistant, Trueshot, Unholyaura, and Holyforge)
have been upgraded. Please read the updated EQManual_Supplement.doc (or
.txt) in your EverQuest Directory.

I said its useless as a primary weapon. A 100 damage stun doesn't do much in terms of dps, so no you'll never use it as a main weapon unless you're a serious pvper.

Maybe trueshot was just worthless prior to that upgrade or something. I don't remember the details, just that I didn't bother maxing my archery skill for trueshot until Velious.
