What is the best damage mods for a bow?
Which 1 has the least resistance against most enemies? Fire shocking ebon of cold?
Or should i just stick to the standars piercing damage?

Thank you in advance

For Bowstrings, most people use Zealous or Vampiric for the mod, not one that swiths the damage.

The answer is it all depends on your build and what you're fighting. If you have an elemental spike build and are especially targetting warrior you would want to use an elemental string (usually fiery, but sometimes icy) especially now that damage reduction doesn't apply to elemental damage.

In the four bows I keep in my hotslots I have a poisoners or crippling string on one, 2 vamps, and a fiery string.

Every ranger will have their opinions about strings and I like those. I think dazed is worthless and the ridiculously overpriced and overrated 20/20 sundering string is absolute crap (except to make some money on the resell).

Keep at four differect types in your weapon slot switches. Everything in the game has a weakness and strength an example would be Warriors with physical damage (piercing damage) and rangers and elementist (to some extent) with elemental damage.
