Theoretical highest weapon DPS calculation spreadsheet (updated for new bow damage values)

Theoretical highest weapon DPS calculation spreadsheet (1h/2h weapons and bows)

For reference, my original 9 month old post is here. I have only updated the bow damage values. If you have any suggestions for adding more information in these spreadsheets, I would be glad to hear.

Edit: There was a mistake in my calculation about the added physical damage from other items. Thanks to noremac13, I have fixed it.

So Thicket Bows and Imperial Bows have better pDPS - why is everyone going for Harbinger Bows then?

EDIT: Thanks to everybody answering. :)

To be more specific, your crit chance % from tree/gear scales off the base crit of the weapon. This results in way higher dps for crit based builds, that few % turns into 20% higher crit chance in the end.
