Lightning 2 vs Silver Bow

[Jucar]

DDO Gurus please help! My 20 lv AA Rngr is trying to pick out the best weapon against Harry for Many Shot bursts. He switches to Rapiers after the manyshot runs out. Trying to decide if its worth it or not to get a Lightning 2 bow. currently using the Silver bow because of the 17 - 20 crit range with IP Ranged with Slayer Arrows. Any other suggestions like getting the quiver for improved speed or any other bows that I haven't heard of?

Silver Bow - +5 Arcane Arrows, AA Slayer enhancement

Thanks

The lit II longbow out damages the epic thornlord, which has the same crit range and a higher base damage than the silver bow, i'll be running the silver bows dps calculations sometime today so look forward to it :P

Thanks for the reply. I guess you'll have to use the House D Silver arrows with a Lit 2 Bow then to bypass DR?

the same as with the silver bow, y

The silver bow does not grant silver onto it's ammo nor is it actually made of silver, It does not bypass that aspect of DR, all of the bows (except abbot) are calced without damage reduction in mind because they can all be made to bypass most dr through a combination of arrows and upgrades... keep in mind the silver bow to accomodate this need will be +2 against harry.

EDIT: the dps calcs are up on my thread in case you still wish to compare.
