Yeah, when I started putting together this guide one of the first things I tried to put together was a death bless with bows of war and super precision. Wasn't nearly cost effective though as anything you really want to afflict is well armored with a shield. Black bow is a good idea, particularly in concert with a black heart. I've also had a lot of luck with piercers, once you get up to like 10 of them they are exceptionally good human hitpoint stuff with good armor. I once played a game as Machaka vs dual blessed Knights of the Chalice and when I first deployed the piercers against a large group of knights who had until that point be dominating me it was immensely amusing - it looked just like the PD Machaka shortbows were suddenly mowing down the knights with a vengeance. I think a shield still blocks the AN damage due to the way the mechanics work, but it's still plenty effective against units without a tower shield and a bargain for 3E.
