best is 15^50 long bow or horn bow, storm bow does job too.
best modes are---> 5:1 vamp +30hp or 1:1 Zealous +30hp

spiker is good for spiker groups, other groups will want full interrupter or trapper.

spirit Favorable winds

preparation Read the Wind

mesmer skill: drain enchants

wow, how did you manage 157dmg?
horn bow for 10% armour pen
Dual shot to double effects of FW and RtW
FW +6 dmg x2
RtW +10 or 11 at 16 Marks? can't remember exactly x2
+5 vampiric x2
All that plus a critical hit on both arrows would do it I guess.
Is critical hit 2x dmg? not sure. that's what I think it is.
I do too much utility over pure damage builds and in high end pve to see massive numbers in one hit I guess.

Best bows for spiking:

Sundering Longbow of Fortitude
15-28, 15^50, 10/10 Sundering, HP+30

Vampiric Horn Bow of Fortitude
15-28, 15^50, 5/-1 Vamp, HP+30

+15% (Enchanted) bows are great too.

+15% (Enchanted) bows are great too. sundering is good but dont forget that 5:1 does more damage.
(always, with evry arrow, doin +5 dmg vs 1/10 shots (if youre luky) doin +7 dmg)

for when not figting keep a sundering bow in second wep set

I know this is a R/Me post, but just wanted to ask how 157 dmg was done? Was that a critical hit? I was using a skill combo in GvG. Was a R/Mo and used Read the Wind -->Judges Insight-->Penetrating Attack. Using a 5:1 Vamp, 50% ^ customized Horn bow did 102-120 damage per shot to casters. But never saw 157. Were they still wearing pre-sear armor? lol. This BTW, was not a typical Ranger Spiker team. Was mainly using interupts, but skill combo above worked great to polish off fleeing casters.
