While the Piercing enchantment is good for clusters of targets, the Multishot enchantment is better for wide spreads of targets.

A rapid-fire bow can fend off two vindicators in close quarters, yet a crossbow cannot stop a vindicator at any range within his threat. In single-target combat, the traditional bow out-plays any crossbow not enchanted with Quick Charge III, both in terms of damage per second and more importantly maintaining target distance. The Multishot enchantment increases its spread to release 3 arrows at once, while the Piercing enchantment allows one arrow to pierce several in-line targets, hitting up to nine entities.
