don't understand this post, what are you saying? the set bonus for the longbow includes haste
"Bow...needs a greater boost"
"Ranger...doesn't need that much haste. "
seems to contradict
i agree with the first bit, the longbow needs a better bonus, more haste would be nice, can never get enough haste
it is a pity that they made 2 completely different sets, what would have been a LOT better would be to have just added the xbow to the set so that you could swap your longbow for a xbow and not have to change the knives as well
as it is now if you use a longbow to get the haste and damage and you need to kite when the shit hits the fan you have to switch to the xbow which breaks the set bonus so you really are screwed
they could fix this by making some way of quick changing your whole set at one go but it still means that you have to gem 2 sets of weapons which is expensive
all other classes get a simple one click weapon change without breaking the set but for rangers it takes 5-10 seconds to change your weapons
