That's just me though, whatever floats your boat.
I didn't see the use of it either, until eventually I just tried it.

Was amazed at how well it could perform.

The range of your bow/talon is just amazing, so much more damage versus the melee type.
The Hit is no longer a problem, such a relief coming from a str or dual spec set up.
Depending on set, the crit is awesome!

And, afaik, if buffed with Rage 6 + correct gear, a bear can out-damage a bird sometimes
