DW vs Bow NB

Hauztein · June 2015

Which one is more deadly at endgame pvp and world exploring?
I felt that DW has more survivability, and bow are more driven to kill with buffs+snipe...

Anyone with experince can clarify this to me?

I have a DW/Bow nightblade that is a dedicated PvP char. Both weapons have different uses and are equally fun to use.

The bow is great for keep battles, with ranged maxed. Snipe + Poison Injection weaved together are ranged killers. Also good for world battle where you're hanging back just picking people off the battlefield.

Dual Wield is great for closeup battles. I supplement it with siphoning spells and a teleport gap closer to stay close to my targets.

Combine that with very good stamina regen and some method of mitigating incoming damage and you'll be slicing through your enemies like a hot knife through butter.

What do you use to mitigate and/or heal?

With bow, should i use buffs such as mark, expert hunter, grim etc?

I am a lvl20 dunmer because i tried magicka build, planing on vampire... But seems that sucks, so i am planing to start again as bosmer if i go bow, or redguard if i go DW

I usually use the medium armor skill to increase my dodge chance (forgot the name, still downloading the patch) and the basic siphoning spell for healing. The healing spell is so cheap, you can keep spamming it if you have decent magicka regen.
Expert hunter is a great buff. I rarely use mark target but that's mostly because i have some other stuff on my bars that i like slightly better.

I went with werewolf for the extra stamina regen, the problem with vamps in PvP is the weakness to fire and silver bolts.

My char is a tiny little bosmer girl wielding two large swords. I love watching her kick ass ...
