I have a woodworker, and while I have nto checked a lot of the bows to see if they stack up "appropriately" with Legendary or Treasured, I can show you what I stumbled on in just a few mins.
EQ2 Fire Imps Longbow - Items - EverQuest 2 Database - MMO DB
Not sure if all of the stats are there. but it is a treasured level 47 bow with +3 ranged and better damage and STR than level 52 Ironwood Long Bow. The ironwood longbow has the proc of course, but the Fire Imp's has +20 CA damage, iirc.
Ironwood has periods of pretty limited availability on my server, so it definitely pays for people to be a little bit aware of alternatives. I suspect that these bow changes will be mostly in the lower tiers, but I am open for anything.
While I will continue to sell the T6 MC bows, I would not recommend them wholeheartedly to guildies or use them myself. Eq2 has always had problems with a few items, but it seems their "renewing of content" has caused them even more problems.
People for whom plat is no problem will continue to gear their toons in a vanilla swathe of the MC gear. It keeps crafters employed.
