At start Dolch may get a kill, but only one, because from that one kill, Dolch would be low on health (3 hearts) and needs some time to recover.
Dolch would need a lot of health pots and other healing items to keep the killing spree with his Dolch.
But not just the short range that gives Dolch an advantage in damage, Dolch can be at a disadvantage with bows, because health is everything for Dolch, when Dolch wants to keep using Dolch.
