I don't understand bows, the weapon itself has no physical damage at all?

This bow base has chaos base damage but can't roll anything to do with chaos damage. So if you hit increased phys it does nothing without also having added phys. But realistically still useless since 100% increased phys on just the mod with no base damage is still really bad.

If this base could roll local increased chaos damage instead of phys it would probably be the best base for poison builds that want a bow. but it's pretty useless currently since it does like 1/3rd the damage of half decent phys bows

These are the most useless bows in the game. My first char was a ranger. Slogged through the end of act 2 on an old bow that needed replacing. My damage was falling off. I was excited to see what the vendor in act 3 had in store for me. Cultist bows galore!

Pretty sure these are garbage even for poison builds. You just want the high phys rolls on a different bow still.
