Of course taking a Full attacka action with rapid shot will be more effective (you don't even need to do the math to realize this). But as some people have said, the prime advantage of archers is their possible Infinite AC against melee damage if played correctly. With manyshot, you can avoid charges, you can stay far enough from melee brutes to seriously hamper their full attack chances (completely defeating the advantage of a tweaked out TWF ranger). And you can do it while keeping a good enough chance of hitting for a good enough damage. If you insist on the 5' backpedal and full-attack, you will lay out more damage, but you will get hit more often. Manyshot is a tactical dream for those who don't get caught up in the max-damage-per round rat race. In 3.5, you will not outdamage the Barbarian with powerettack anyways, but you can stay out of his way.</p></blockquote><p></p>
