Short bows are the best, buddy.

Gesen fires +4 plus electric damage, therefore goes throw stoneskin!

Crossbows are the coolest though IMO, because of the Kua Toa bolts. I have kept them until the tough encounters. Bolts of biting is also a good spell-disrupter.

The best one in SoA is mana bow +4. only drawback is that you get it kind of late.
