Magic bow class?

Chieve

I'm not suggesting a new class, I feel like their are so many skill lines you can build your own class...

So I wanna ask of I wanna be a class reliant on magic and bow use what would you suggest with what state combinations?

I almost wanna feel like my bow has all these cool magic abilities to it as well...I guess...

If possible I love sneaking as well so any suggestions on that is helpful

all bow skills consume stamina, so that would be a huge drawback for a magicka build

Snipe , Wrecking Blow,..... And that's pretty much it cause that's all any one uses any more. Well any one that isn't a Night Blade.

I know they say you can "play your way" And I mean you can, but you're going to hit like a wet pasta noodle.

Sorc:
Poison arrow > Poison Injection
Arrow Spray > Bombard
Unstable Familiar > Unstable Clanfear
Surge > Power Surge
Lightning Splash >Lightning Flood.

Works pretty good for solo play.

What you seem to want is hybrid builds. Hybrid builds were viable back in patch 1.5 before the champion system ruined the game.

You could play a nightblade: his talent "grim focus" is in fact a "magic bow". Beside, you can use a bow as weapon without having to use bow (stamina)-skills, similar to sorcerer's who use 2 melee swords, the damage of your class skills will be "ok", you just miss "classic magic weapon passives and the main-stat bonus to light/heavy attacks" but read closely what a bow can do with magic skills, and the dodge-roll-speed buff alone is worth it!

Lol really?

I love using a bow in game and I love magic so I thought this was something that would work...

Actually @Francescolg makes a great point grim focus does use a magic bow. And I mean you can do a hybrid build and make it work it may just take more effort and tweaking. Skills scale off magika and spell damage or stamina and weapon damage. So when you try to do both you hit about half as hard, know what I mean? One thing i would love to see in the future is new weapons that scale off magika such as conjured swords and Etheral Bow. That would be just awesome

Yeah, go with Relentless Focus (or the one that gives Stamina regen), and dump all your Mage CP into Thaumaturge and Bow Expert.

Spam poison arrows every day.

Best ranged combat is curse, frag, overload, meteor macros which 9/10 Korean Sorcs appear to use.
