So where are we at on Archery dmg vs bow spec?

Was buffed
Then nerfed twice
Seems like there has been no damage increase with bow damage at all.
Before I start wasting resources on respecs to check can Dev please verify if Archery based on bow spec is exactly back to where it was before any changes took place? If not where have we landed?

It's not where it was pre "buff". However it's not worth going above 35 bow/archery for rangers and hunters. Scouts are the only one that could take bow/archery to 40 since they get 45 shield and there melee is pathetic.

End result is the archery buff/review was a waste of time.

Just tested it out of boredom on Testdummy:

Kobold Sniper-Huntress, AugDex7, MoArc 4, combForces, TG Bow 5.0

35 Bow/40 BC (WS 1749, Dex 357): Crit 497, Normal Shot 248
45 Bow/40 BC (WS 1749, Dex 357): Crit 582, Normal Shot 291
45 Bow/50 BC (WS 1896, Dex 365): Crit 592, Normal Shot 296

Well, 50 BC ain't worth it...
