Void is pretty interesting because it bypasses PRR/DR with the cold damage.
Legendary Hunter of the Wilds has Elasticity (+1 on 19-20) and the new base damage. It's a shortbow; however, it has keen.

Then, like you said, there's Epic Sapphire Sting with the increased threat range and improved destruction.

Void has 2 slots, and the other 2 have 1.

It appears that the Legendary Hunter of the Wilds is ahead at a realistic base damage.
Proof

It is only 10% ahead of Sapphire Sting and Void though. If you need one thing for a particular purpose then its not a big deal.

I did not value the extra 3% alacrity on Sapphire Sting over Blinding Speed.

Heh, 'only.'  People sell their children for 10% more damage in this game.

Another thing to consider is ease of acquisition.  Sapphire Sting is at the end of a long and annoying quest.  Hunter of Wilds drops in a quest that can be run really fast.  Void you can buy straight up with tokens if it never drops for you or your guildmates are dicks.
  
No, let me be Frank.

I've had multiple RoSS rot just from doing the explorer points in Sands across multiple lives since it is exclusive.


Smart players know how to use buyback.

I will not chone.

I did what I did intentionally and while my primary purpose was not to annoy the other Vaulties, I acknowledge that it was a side effect.


Smart people don't elicit "side effects."  They understand in advance the consequences of their actions.

Just looking at the newest bow, Chaosbow, I am thinking that is the new king of dps for longbows.  Would like to see a real breakdown of the numbers as I am just going off the details shown in the description.

Chaos bow has the same base damage addition as Hunter of the Wilds. They also share the elasticity so they have the same crit profile; however the new Bow has alacrity (and is actually a longbow). Improved destruction is also quite valuable.

Its not improved destruction.  They removed that and added a stacking %damage thing that stacks 1-20.  I forget what it is called... something madness or whatever thematic spin they gave it.  So, it is even better than what is being posted on the ddo wiki for update 40. You can see it in the list at the loot trade in for the raid.
