It has a terrific action economy, ensures that your weapon attacks do full damage against almost anything at all, lasts for a relatively long time (important since you don't have many spell slots), and synergizes well with Sharpshooter. And it doesn't require you to pump INT.I can't think of a single spell I'd be willing to give up Magic Weapon for, on an archer chassis. On a melee chassis I could maybe see giving up Magic Weapon in favor of Blur or Enlarge, if you were very confident you'd never face any weapon-resistant enemies.Obviously the point if moot if you own a genuine magic weapon and are confident you will never lose it.RE: the certainty of gaining a shortbow +1 by level 7, try rolling up a few DMG treasure hoards for CR 0-10. Magic bows aren't that common. In any case, I've run 5E campaigns in which level 8-14 characters did not have magic weapons. The PCs didn't do a lot of dungeon crawling.</blockquote>
