	I would encourage you to also look into the very popular and extremely easy to dominate Xbow builds Including: -18Rogue/Whatever -20 Rogue -14Pally/5Rogue/1 Whatever These dominate hard and can do so without as many past lives or top end gear unlike some throwers.

Pally version isn't good til later levels but surpasses the Rogue versions by end game.

Except that I have a pally version and when I group with the rogue versions (leveling--particularly 13-19) they tend to die about 3 times as often as I do. I'm not that great of a player either. Could be they aren't geared/played well. But, if they get surrounded by mobs, they're toast. AC+PRR+MRR seems to help mitigate that even when swarmed at times. Of course, the solution for the rogue is "kite better", I suppose.

There's also nothing stopping them from strapping on heavy armor.

	holy sword is better for repeaters. You get way more dps with rogue 20, but better healing, saves, and heavy armor using 15 pally.

Unless you dont want to set speed run records and make a fool of yourself on the vault's build section Do you know what causation is? He might well be better than me. He might be that much better at gaming than anyone else who has ever bothered to attempt a solo FoT that he can set the record with a second-best weapon choice. Seriously, how many people attempt to solo EE FoT? I know I'm not going to on a character without maxed EPLs. That makes it not a very good DPS test, no?

Youre assuming he never tested gxbows, ever, once, in any capacity and just randomly decided to take the first light repeater he saw and YOLO his way to 15minutes. I am assuming he tested both and decided L.Repeater is what gives him the best chance at record time.
