Bows are ranged weapons which consume arrows and deal ranged damage. Some are capable of shooting more than 1 projectile for 1 arrow, while others have a chance to not consume any arrows at all. Generally, the best modifier for bows is Unreal.
For a rough estimate of progression order, consider sorting the table by rarity. For some recommendations of items to try at specific tiers of progression - though not necessarily the best - consult the class setups guide.
