Usage
The Ancient Bow is most effective when your character has a large Focus pool to tap. If you plan on spending Focus to ensure 100% success attacks, then it doesn't matter whether the character wielding the Ancient Bow uses the Awareness attribute. You're better off equipping the character with the largest Focus Pool to wield the bow if you intend to always spend Focus to ensure a 100% strike.

The Ancient Bow is acquired late in the Frost Adventure campaign which would lead many to believe it should be used against the Dragon Whitemoon. This may turn out to be a bad idea unless you're properly prepared. Whitemoon has very high Health and therefore would require a long series of combat strikes to kill. The Ancient Bow is best utilized against Whitemoon by pumping 3 Focus into the bow for its Ancient Arrow attack. This will apply burning to Whitemoon and deal the greatest amount of damage in the shortest amount of time. However, your character will quickly exhaust their pool of Focus when using the Ancient Bow. So either come prepared with a good supply of Golden Roots to replenish that Focus or perhaps consider using a more traditional weapon that can deal a high damage output in place of using the Ancient Bow.
