Well, the title says it all. It would be nice if somone with more expierience could tell me the pros and cons for each class for a bow build. Thank you already :)!

    All I can say is bow is best for stamina build for range attack. Every class can build as stamina and magician, it depends on your play style.

    I would say,
    Race = WoodElf,
    class = Night Blade.....

    However Any class can use a bow.... just thinking of being sneaky......

    Khajiit double bow sorcerer ;)

    +stam rec, +weapon crit, crit surge, streak, sneak attack bonus

    crit surge + camo hunter + lethel arrow/focused aim canceled with a +15% heavy attack and poison injection = fun

    I have a templar who uses strictly bows. Has good Aoe/CC with blazing spear and bombard for PvE. Power of light is also very helpful for PvP and boss fights. It's fun to light up a backline healer with power of light and the snipe morph ability for your group.

    All classes will have their strengths, find something you love to play. Like I did!

    I'd go with Sorc as you have a class ability for Major Brutality, a buff you would need to use a 2h with other classes. You get 8% extra Stamina which is nice and I guess Streak is a decent way to get away or to get some range between you and your target. Basicly what @Calboy said.

    Nightblade is also nice as you get a +8% damage buff, bonus damage from stealth, great regen and class damage abilities that also scales with Thaumaturge (Spectral Bow from Relentless Focus, Killer's Blade, good class Ultimates). You also get some great utlitiy with Dark Cloak and Shadow Image.

    If you want to be sneaky Nightblade, if you want to be mobile Sorcerer, if you want to be tanky DK/Templar
