Night-blade in need

So i have a character is a khajiit werewolf archer and siphoning night-blade hybrid, when i run out of magica I'll switch to bow and back again when the magica comes back to full I'll switch back. but I've noticed that I'm significantly weaker than anyone else of my level and so I'm looking for advice, one of my top questions is should i dump the bow? if so what should i have for my second skill set?

    Keep the bow, it is good at range for us Nightblades.

    What is your primary weapon?

    How do you have your attributes set up, points wise?

    What bow skills are you using?

    So, you are mixed use of magika and stamina? I have a similar build. I ditched the bow in favor of duel wield daggers as a my back-up.

    You lose the ability of range with bow but make up for it with the range of the staff.

    You are right to ditch the bow then, respec your skills and take the points out. Go all magika in your attribute. Look for Nightblade abilities that will reduce enemy armor, and healing. Use those first then pound them with heavy and light attacks.

    You might also consider going vampire and ditching the werewolf for this build.

    yeah, werewolf is better for dedicate stam dps
    Everyone knows the phenomenon of trying to hold your breath underwater - how at first it's alright and you can handle it, and then as it gets closer and closer to the time when you must breathe, how urgent the need becomes, the lust and the hunger to breathe. And then the panic sets in when you begin to think that you won't be able to breathe - and finally, when you take in air and the anxiety subsides...that's what it's like to be a vampire and need blood.

    natewook - you are setup for a pure stamina build quite nicely. Lots of stamina regen but focusing on magica.

    I would think about either going with bow primary and 2H or DW or Sword/shield as a backup (all stamina based).

    You can still use Magic based skills. if you want to go magic based, then definitely drop werewolf and I would switch out the medium armor for Heavy/Light mix. Survivability + some magic regen.

    DISCLAIMER - The information provided below is how I understand the magic/stamina attribute points from reading the answers given on this site and other pages. I could be completely wrong...

    Also, when you increase a magic/stamina attribute that will not only increase the "pool" of available stamina/magic - it also increases the damage. So if you put all your attributes into Magic, then your spells will hit hard, but your bow won't. If you evenly distribute your attribute points between magic/stamina, then both will be weaker than somebody who concentrates into one.
