How do I get my hands on a Defending Bow of the Shield Breaker?

I'm fairly new to PvP. Last time I was playing it was way over 2 years ago when spamming Wrecking Blow was meta and Sorcs sucked (yes, it's hard to believe it ever was like this, but it's true).

Now, I understand there are 3k Tel Var boxes that can drop the Bow of the Shield Breaker, but they can drop any gear or weapon piece in any trait, making the chances look... not pretty: 1/((12+7)*9)=1/171. To translate this into something more understandable: Opening 786 boxes gives you an exactly 99% chance to get that bow (or any specific item you're looking for). Opening 200, however - only a 60% chance.

Now I'm wondering, are there other, more reliable ways to get the IC weapon you want? I know they're BoE, but people that get it seem to assume Sharpened is best and only sell that one (and decon the others). I'd be willing to pay 1M for one of those (and, actually, I wanna buy two of those; no, not for both bars). I'm on PC EU, btw.

I'd be happy to get some advice.
