Rhaposody.....thank you, I've come to that conclusion my self :-)

Others: I play this game with the concept of: Don't let 'em close enough to hit you. My bow is maxxed, my bow skill is maxxed.

I kite everything. Sometimes it takes longer, but it's the least risky paradigm. Haven't fought the Queen yet. Unless you cheeze it, it looks like a massive vertical kite. Kiting is challenging in enclosed areas :-)

Bottom line: The bow needs to be able to shoot at least 200 arrows before breaking....seriously :-)
