Bow Damage

ayriennub17_ESO
While I seen a few threads on bow damage, I didn't see any that asked or answered this spefic question. Has anyone else noticed that the weapon damage on a bow is the same as on a one hand weapon? I was looking at my equipment yesterday and noticed that my 2 hand bow has the same damage value as 1 of my one hand daggers. Both are V12 legendary, and the bow and one of the daggers both have the damage value of 141. Are all 2 hand weapons like this, has anyone noticed? I haven't checked staffs/ 2 hand weapons other than the bow, didn't have time last night.

    Sadly, right now Bow is only good for one thing - CCing.
    It's damage is lower than ANY other weapon (yes, even resto staff and 1h/s are better).

    It honestly makes no sense, as bow has always been one of the most deadly weapons, both irl and in TES universe.

    Weapon damage is low.
    Bow ability damage is low.
    Bow heavy charge time is long (and not scaling with attack speed stat).

    Just zero potential for PvE damage dealing.

    Agree completely. Only reason I even swap to my bow anymore is to CC, and regen magicka with siphoning strikes white hits while I'm kiting and healing up.
