Currently elemental arrows inflict less damage than fine arrows in all situations.

I've used transmute bows, non-transmute bows, mobs weak to the element, mobs not weak to the element, a mix of all of the above, etc.

Unless I'm missing something crucial, there is no situation where using
elemental_arrow + any_bow >= fine_arrow + any_bow

In theory they may "do more damage", but if you grab any bow type and compare fine arrows to elemental arrows against any mob--> you'll be in for a surprise.

I request elemental arrows at least be as good as fine arrows on mobs weak to that element.
