My 3-day old ranger's current bows:
...and Elwyth's.
EDIT: Special props to CoolGuy for hooking me up with the deadbow.

nobody ever uses horn bows ~ yes theyre fugly, and fire like bazookas, but they also hit like bazookas as they have 10% armour penetration always

If someone thinks that sundering is "T3H UB3R MOD" then let them, Why should we be bothered?
Until some boffin gets his calculator out and tries to blind us all with science about how % of that does'nt does'nt compare with % of this.
Well ah'll stick with me worst mod for the time being.

I pretty much agree with the direction on questioning this, if its not sundering, what would you rather take?
If you go got other fancy stuff, lighting, fire, I hear from a Nerco player that, it will cancel out some of the advantages that a spell caster, or a buffer could provide to you.
The only other two for me are, posion and vamp strings.
Both of which are not really considered as an all round suited bow string, even if I pushed to support a posion string, compare with the possibile extra damage in one shot with the sundering, I would rather take the sundering instead.
So that really leaves me the chioce between the sundering and vamp, and vamp would not be the main bow I am carrying because of the health draining effect.

I think thats a great screenshot, but for some reason, I love the wooden feel of a bow.
Best looking skin for me its the Elyth's whatsherface Bows.

umm... i'd rather take any other bow string then the Sundering string...
are u talking about an Orders Necro? well of course you can't use an Ele string if you have one in ur group... as orders only affects physical dmg...

my main string is a vamp... i usually always use either TF or Frenzy depending on my build... i have a Zealous on my Horn for Barrage... 4 Ascalon Bows each having a different Ele string on it (Fiery, Icy, Shocking, Ebon) for when i attack physically stacked players... Sundering really has no use imo

I just won an auction on a +15%^50 storm bow that I'm going to add a +30 grip to. I'm not sure if I'm going to make it sundering or vampiric though...

There was a thread in the warrior forum about sundering mods....they don't really add much damage, compared to Vampiric

Not sure how good or bad that is, or what that translates too, but seeing how 40 armor is an increase of 100%->200% damage against a wariror with 96 AL (armor+shield) it would be 0.96 armor pentrated it's a ~2% increase in damage.
with a 22 max damage.. 0.22 damage extra won't even give a full point extra (on average). When it does trigger it will do about 2.2 damage extra, but that's only against warriors.

This was figured for a sword, but asuming it's a max short bow:
Max damage of 28 and refire rate of 2 seconds = .28 extra damage every attack, so .14 dps more.
Looking at in from a spike:
2.8 extra damage on triggering.
Vampiric is much better:
+5 damage every 2 seconds...or 2.5 extra dps.
Assuming perfect conditions, and that everything lands of course.

1. Vampiric short bow
2. Zealous half moon
3. Sundering composite
4. Poisoner's longbow
The bows either have a Defense or a Shelter bow grip.
I look forward to the day when I get a nice bow from Tombs or SF.
