Im wondering how importantit is to use a cross bow vs regular bow.
i have a 1 GA crossbow with the prefered GA in Life and then dex and Overpower i am seeing that the crossbow adds vulnerable damg, I found a 3 GA Dex, Life, Overpower which adds crit damg as a bow. The regular bow has the perfect stats all GA. This is for a Death Trap Rogue FYI. Can i use the 3GA bow and not lose a tom of Damg ?
The majority of your additive damage should be Overpower damage from max life and Fortify.
For example, with 50k max life and fortify you will get
(50000 - 400) / 400 = 12400% Overpower damage from bonus max life
50000 / 400 = 12500% Overpower damage from Fortify
That’s 24900% Overpower damage compared to maybe 3000% total additive damage from your paragon and items.
Actually a Unique Crossbow and or a Mythic Bow/Cross would be nice for the next major update.

so your saying using the 3GA bow would be good vs the 1GA crossbow that gives me the vulnerable damg
Both critical damage and vulnerable damage are additive damage so there is no difference between them when you always crit and enemies are always vulnerable.
Unless you actively use your ranged weapon to cast Death Trap, the Bow is better. Most of the time you will likely dash around that the melee weapons will be used to cast Death Trap and your ranged weapon type makes no difference.
