if you just want to kill monsters and mf/ or even duel with your zon silence is a nice bow but not so good dmg around 210 max dmg depending on the bow its made from its not very fast either also depending on the bow silence has 200% ed 20% ias 2 to all skills 75 to all resistances hit blinds target and more mods
the resistances will help you duel sorcs and kill hell meph the hit blinds target will also help you alot(makes monsters stsand there and look stupid)
if you need a bow and do nt want to trade alot make it but use a fast bow would be my advice (crusader/matriarchal.not grand matron or hydra) the little extra dmg will not overweigh the speed
