Which bow is best to craft?

I just recently started playing so I am kinda new to the game. Bear with me.

I am noticing there are several recommendations but they are also old posts and Googles shows outdated results. Hard to find which is good one for year of 2021 with latest updates and such. so here I am asking :)

Some recommended Thicket or something but in 2019.

I am at level 74 Deadeye and I am noticing the best bow so far I have seen is "Citadel" types and has better base damage than Thicket..

So.. anyone can recommend best bow to craft
Thank you in advance!

Citadel bows are good for bleeding, but if you want a Bow that is more reliable and has 10% increased movement speed, I'd go for the Maraketh Bow base.

It has a higher Dex requirement, but that shouldn't be a problem for you.
What is the value of my own life when it is taken from others so easily?

It depends on what kind of skill you use and how you plan to scale it. Classic toxic rain for example only scales the dot so the only stat on the bow that matters for them is attack speed. That's why Thicket bow is a common recommendation. If you use Ice Shot or some other hit based skill you need to scale raw damage so Thicket would be sub par here. Deaths Opus, Lioneyes Glare and Chin Sol are unique Bows that can be used to such skills. The first has additional projectiles which is a powerful mod for projectile builds and the other 2 have very high physical base damage for either physical damage output or as a basis for conversion.
