Bow damage formula?

Leveling a ranger (52) right now so it would be an earthshaker. It is on the shopping list but a bit farther down the priority list. I'm trying to get fletching up there for more arrow options too but I got a tolan's bracer today also.

Basically I leveled to ~48 solo with a fungi just facetanking with a shovel but now it seems like even with swarmcaller swaps it is getting tedious so I figured I'd get more arrows in to cheese it as difficulty increases.

I'm looking at bow options and snaggles did a good run down in another thread but it is kind of hard to know how faster bows with lower ratios would fare against slower bow with higher damage so the actual formula would help a lot.

Can't imagine how swapping weapons would be tedious. Anyways look at this chart: https://lucy.allakhazam.com/dmgbonus.html

That number will get tacked onto your bow damage. It's completely wrong and broken. Earthshaker will boost your archery to something semi-reliable, soon. You're still at kind of a bad bonus at 52, but later on you'll have minimum 100-ish dmg shots with nice bows with +56 dmg coming from bonus at 60.

Tbh just running the Swarmcaller mainhand works, too. You get +15 dmg bonus now. It's about half as good as ES.
