Which bow type works best with enchantment.I have the +5 engery Long Bow from divine path what upgrades would you use on this. I have a 20% enchantment wraping and 4/1 vamp string in stock.

Well Judges Insight I use mostly in FOW. Healing Breeze for everyday use.

i should take a normal sundering string then.
maybe a cripling or poisonous one.
the + 5 energy bow with ench mod is very nice for JI

Well indeed JI is very energy consuming, however the point of bringing it is to maximize your attack: if you bring a +5 energy bow (and again I agree that's justified by the cost/duration of JI) you gain 20% armor penetration and deals holy damage but you lose 1 slot and the +15% damage bonus. That's great against skelettons in FoW, but I doubt it is worth it against other foes.

Now it depends also on what other skills you use, and how energy consuming they are.

if you take a sundering string and penatrating attack/cantha version
you can deal some major dmg 2 W, since you have 40, maybe 60% armor pentration
