No, he didn't; he explained why a good Warrior might want to carry a bow, then proceeded to name as examples two bows that Shadow Knights can't even equip.
Siphon Strength costs 5 mana and casts fast. It doesn't miss and pull targets the user doesn't intend to pull, and doesn't require ammunition that occupies valuable bag spaces. In 5 years-plus at level 60 on my Shadow Knight, I've only ever used my bow for fluff or as a joke....mostly it collects dust in the bank. By all means use a bow if you really want to use one, but if you don't you'll most probably never have reason to care.

This has always been my experience on live. I switched between siphon and clinging depending on if I wanted a bit of a head start. I eventually got a bow but just for stats since there were some good ones in POP.
Getting a 180+ range bow for a SK isn’t easy or cheap. With store bought arrows and a runed oak bow your spells have longer range. If you want to fletch you can make cheap 150 range ones (275 total with that bow) but that’s only like an extra 25 reach over casting.
IMHO, get a bow if you are a warrior or a ranger.
