Topic says it all.
Bows Versus Guns:
+ and - for both (depending on race also)
And another question for guns:
lets say we have two guns
1: dmg 15-25 speed 1.80
2: dmg 25-35 speed 2.80
What would you go for? Speed or + dmg

It's all a matter of personal preference. For lvling, damage and stats over everything else. I have a dorf hunter and i cant stand to use guns unless its a major upgrade from what i have now. I had

and i couldnt stand the sound of the gun going off all day. So i went back to

, yes i lost dps, but, the sound of the bow is much nicer and the speed is better. I also went MM so the Bow fit the role better, IMO. Theres a 70 dorf bm hunter in my guild who wont use anything but guns. He passed on

and kept his

. Personal preference or idiocracy, you be the judge.

MM & SV spec Damage
BM I think could go either way, in fact one could toy with having two range weapons and switching them but with ammo restrains you'd have to carry two guns or (a bow and a crossbow) you could setup a macro so that all your auto shots were with the faster weapon.

Yes, Dwarf Hunters are THE most adorable and cute Hunters out there <(^_^<)
It's not that the gun sounds are annoying, it really just takes getting used too. I've NEVER used a bow or xbow (and thus my skills for those are still 1/350), and the gunshots sounds does not bother me one bit.
Meh, in PVP if your enemy is one of those bothered by it, you'll just be annoying them more while blasting their faces.
I'll most likely be switching to bow to lvl my skills but if you're a Dwarf, you can trash away any thoughts of using xbows. Their DPS/speed are almost always the same as guns, you mind as well use the guns for the racial.
Also on the superficial level, Dwarves look more kickass with guns than bows anyway. Same with Taurens. Orcs, Trolls and elves look nice with bows. No comments on spacegoats.

How do you come to the conclusion that wolfslayer is better than sunfury in DPS!? There is a .2 sec speed difference which is nice for BM, but what about MM / Survival? Just stats alone, Sunfury has 4.3 dps, 4 agility, 6 RAP & a higher top end over Wolfslayer.

well I'm 63, and I just went Guns, even though bows seem to have the most favorable stats.
what I like about guns: the sound is a good queue to do a steadyshot, I don't have the most sensitive hearing and hearing whoosh from an arrow is no where as nice as a BAM! from a gun.
Anyway, at 62 I got steadyshot (had my bow than) and went to Ramps twice with other 62's to see my performance, and on boss fights I had 48-50%, so even if I lose 5% or 10% due to poor gun design, I don't care still will be first on dps.
And at 70 I'm gonna grind up to get a pvp gun, same stats as bow finally.
I read a ton about 1-1 rotation, and it works great for me. (not using macros yet)
But there are racial benefits to consider, thank goodness I don't have any bow/gun preferences, +hit ftw.
