Elemental Strings do elemental damage, so they are good vs. Warrior types who have a boost to physical damage (not elemental damage).

They're not bad. Personally I still use a Crippling bow string in PvP. As Magnus said, they're good vs. Warriors because while Warrior armor has 100 AL vs Physical damage, it only has 80 vs Elemental. Its a noticeable damage boost, especially when they hit Healing Signet

Well most warriors use a shield so that's another 16 armour

Ill use it if Im running high expertise + high marks, and using read the wind on my bar. That's probably the only case where 15^-5e comes in handy.

-5 is pretty bad when your low on energy and need to interupt something. Wouldnt be a prob with like 14 expertise but still.........

The bow itself its pretty bad aswell.... longbows are crap compared to recurve

they're good against warriors as they have additional 20ar on top of the 80ar but crap against ranger (dealing 5-8dmg on the charr ranger in EotN) as they have +30ar on elemental. as said by magmus

edit: i aggre with holymasamune...if a ranger is below 50% health, i think the other party members are wiped out or smth (maybe except paragons)
