bows with elemental damage-do they ignore armor?

if i add an earth damage bowstring to my bow, does that mean my attacks will completely ignore armour?

Elemental damage is not armor ignoring. They will however deal more damage vs Warriors as they have +20 vs physical.

No

nuts. thanks for replying.

But you could use one of the other element bowstrings say fire then use conjour fire to boost damage, if you go R/E

Bow damage + attack skill + Read the Wind + Conjor flame, the result can be quite good.
Kindle arrows would add 3 to 20 damage
Read the wind + 3-9
Conjour Flame + 5-17

You could add Favourable winds + 6 but I don't usually bother.

Who needs ignore armor
