[Items/Pets] T3 CRAFTED BOW - WAVEBREAKER. Revamp the T3 Crafted Bow - Wavebreaker, and give it critical rating, as well as a white gem slot - same as the T3 crafted X-bow!
Why you ask?
Well first of all - you gave BOTH Critrating AND a white gemslot to the T3 Crafted Crossbow, but NOT to the T3 Crafted Bow.
Wasn't it supposed to be equality no matter if you were a Crossbow Ranger, or a Bow Ranger? It was only a "matter of playstyle", I belive was the foundation of the Ranger Revamp, making all the various Ranged combos useable for ALL Rangers, no matter what type of ranged weapon you chose to use. That way you weren't forcing people to choose Bow over Crossbow or vice versa? Hell - you even gave the Crossbow the same range as the Bow, so now you should give the Bow the same Crit rating possibilites as the Crossbow!
It is only FAIR!
This is HANDS DOWN the best looking Bow in the game, but because of the above mentioned reason, it is made utterly useless for any Bow Ranger with ambitions.
So here are some stats comparison between the
Wavebreaker and the
Krakensbane (just to show the madness):
Wavebreaker:
Stats:
139.5 DPS
+5 Bow Range Modifier
+145 Combat Rating (Cold)
+62 Critical Damage Rating
Gemslots: Red - Green - Yellow

Krakensbane
Stats:
138.0 DPS
+240 Combat Rating (Cold)
+50 Critical Damage Rating
+30 Critical Rating
+5 Crossbow Range Modifier
Gemslots: Green - Yellow - White

What you could do Funcom - is to even out this huge difference on the weapons by giving them more or less the same stats, and at LEAST give them both of them the Crit rating in addition to a white Gemslot.
Keeping it like it is now, is just plain madness! One simply cannot choose to craft the Wavebreaker, as it would be a HUGE waste of time and resources =/ .
This is supposed to be a T3 weapon for crying out loud!
