Curse

I recently dropped 5k on a decent bow this morning it was :

poisoner's short bow of marksmanship
max dmg
+11%dmg when health above 50%
+1 marksmanship (11% chance when using skills)

I currently have it modded with a firey bow string.

I'm thinking this bow is worth a lot more (to other people) than i paid for it.

The question is, should I customize it?
pros
chances are I'll have one of the most damaging bows in the game (seeing how I doubt anyone else would ever customize a weapon with stats higher than what mine is) = +20% dmg + 11% dmg when health above 50%.

cons
kill the resale value of it, but then again, I never really paid an enormous amount for it.

any feedback would be awesome, and thoughts of how much you feel its worth.

do you plan on needing 5plat?

well it wouldnt be a poisoners shortbow of marksmanship if you add a firey bowstring. the poison aspect of the bow you bought is replaced if you add on the fire bow string

the +11% damage when above 50% health is decent, but that +1 to marksmanship IMO is kinda rubbish, i'd prefer a +XX to health bow grip instead

and after you customize it, no one else can use it, so all they could do is chance salvaging part of the bow

I understand about mods overwriting previous ones, and i plan to eventually by a decent grip of fortitude

Well, there's no point in having a max damage bow if you're not going to customize it. 20% damage is about +4 damage, so you're missing out on a lot of damage by not customizing it.

customize it if you want to kill faster.

don't customize it if you need gold right now.
