head is vulnerable. rest is not really efficient to shot.

also, bows not having strength? at attack 1600 you can kill brute with 3 5folds. and full attack with shortbow is way beyond that.

what shortbow lacks is staggering/knocking power. if you want that, you need to be close as possible for max efficiency which is almost as effective as bow from range, but with "dangerous" written all over, but then again... with shortbow you go for fastest possible kill or you piss against the wind. shortbow excels in speed and mobility, not stagger/knockdown.

as for favoring, not so much. there are no blunt daggers or slash bow. other vocations either pass by that or they actually have suitable weapons. as strider/ranger all you can do is use bow/leg kicks for blunt and daggers for slash.
