Are Bows less desirable, underpowered at end game?

[resurrected]

The feedback here is good! Thx guys and gals! I just wonder if Bows TRUE damage was shown on our stat screen would daggers be used less??
Same goes for mage guns, they are also stronger than their stats would imply but because staffs display a higher damage, players use the staff, and the daggers in this case more.

It seems that Bows and Guns damage is a bit misleading atm, causing them to seem less powerful and therefore less desirable. I know a lot of players simply look at damage values instead of actual damage throughput while in play running a map.

To be clear there is true damage shown of bows and guns, we are talking about basic attack damage ( normal non charged and charged attack ). Daggers/staff Stat and skill damage is bigger because we need to come closer to enemy to fight and do any damage ( yes we still are talking about normal attack ) so its also easier to die. You deal more skill damage and have better stat damage but you risk getting killed more often due to red zones and other effects ( curse and aimed shot are good examples here ). If you choose bow you have less armor but you can stay back and use skills more effective because you don't really risk that you'll die by aimed, curse or any other red zone/effect. Bow also shots 2/3 arrows. From what i noticed charged attack always stuns mobs and it deals very good damage ( normal attack ). Keep in mind bows and guns have 200% basic attack damage than daggers and staff. In my opinion in bow case that proc pays off lost damage in stat and in skill. By the way skill damage isn't really that big atleast in nox poison and trap bleed.
