Default New bow upgrades in Factions

I just noticed 3 new bow upgrades when making a new PvP ranger.

The upgrades are:
Barbed Bow String
Crippling Bow String
Silencing Bow String

The barbed will probably lengthen bleeding duration, and the crippling will probably lengthen crippled duration..

But what will the Silencing Bow String do?

Lengthen whatever condition it is that makes it difficult/impossible to cast spells?

If that is the case, the new skill Broad Head Arrow used with that string could be pretty devastating to a caster.

Broad Head Arrow is the skill I've been looking forward to most in the Ranger line up!

I believe back in Beta dazed was silence and Concussion Shot was Tongue Biter. As in, there wasn't a condition called silence in addition to the one we now have (which is dazed).

Broad Head Arrows is a Factions skill. I can't remember it exactly off the top of my head, but if memory serves it was an elite preparation that makes all of your arrows inflict dazed on your targets.

Hell I'd settle for a string that lengthened the duration of Choking Gas.
