I don't like the autolock. It is not very precise. If you have the Thunderwyrm with its exposed back to you and the heart in clear view, the autolock, as likely as not, won't target the heart. You have to waste valuable time to readjust the aim. This is also the case with Ninefold Bolt. I would use it a lot more if I could aim it precisely. The homing features also seem to lack intelligence. If you use Hunter Bolt, for example, against the Cursed Dragon, there is no guarantee that it will target the most vulnerable aiming points.

In short, were it not for Ricochet Hunter in confined areas, the Magick Bow would be a very mediocre weapon. With Ricochet Hunter, IMHO, no other vocation can match MA's speed zipping through BBI. In open areas, though, since I am a dagger enthusiast, I much prefer Arisen as an Assassin with daggers or as a Strider. Assassin is much more versatile but Strider's Hailstorm Volley and Brainsplitter give the vocation some lethal options. On the rare occasions where I want to do predominantly ranged bow attacks rather than melee dagger attacks, the Ranger IMHO is the obvious choice.
