Bow and Marksman Set

orangeman57ub17_ESO

The bow has always been a great PVP tool for snipers, gankers and the like. In some cases too good, able to pick off players before they know what hit them. In PVE the bow has underwhelming DPS output (close to half that of other DPS builds). Its mainly used as "bonus DOT dps" sitting on the backbar. I would argue the ganking power of a sneak snipe could be the reason why a snipe rotation in PVE is lackluster DPS. So to my point: The Marksman set......

(2 items) Stam Recovery
(3 items) Stam Recovery
(4 items) Weapon Damage
(5 items) Reduce the Stamina Cost of abilities by 5% and increase the damage of your bow abilities against players by 8%

The bow needs the PVE boost not a PVP boost. Im not saying this set is overpowered in any way, its more sustain than damage really. It should have the 8 percent changed to all enemies, not just players. The bow hasn't seen any love on the PVE front since Morag Tong and Hawks Eye (excluding Maelstrom bow, I know its power lol).

Did see that the Hawks eye set got a boost to V16, this is good.

Kyne's Flight set needs to go to Vr16 as well.

Is this set from PVP vendors?

What pieces drop in it? All 7 armor? Weapons? Jewelry?

Depending on what drops, perhaps a 5pc Marksman, 5 pc. Hawkeye, Maelstrom bow?

Being a bow wielder, I'm very interested to see what this set can do. Also, I'm probably going to need to do some more research on my build with this new patch and such taking effect...

Good eye!

However there are many other new synergy set's that would probably be better even if this was against all enemy's.

How can the VR 16 version of Hawk's Eye be obtained? I only saw VR 14 blue bags at the merchants in Cyrodiil and never got a Hawk's Eye set item from a "rewards for the worthy" mail on PTS.

Don't quote me on it but either there is another merchant out there that sells them or you can get them from that special merchant that appears occasionally who sells the monster helms/shoulders among other things. Im looking for this answer too, as I want some V16 hawks eye also.

I checked the Golden merchant and she didn't have anything like that either. Hm, maybe some merchant in the Imperial City... Or there is no VR 16 Hawk's Eye in the game and it has only been datamined

Edit: Or the infinite amount of "rewards for the worthy" mails on the PTS aren't the real ones we'll get on the live servers.

Edit 2: It's probably not from Cyrodiil Treasure chests either, only found Pariah, Briarheart, and Trinimac's Blessing set items in 50 treasure chests there (got 2 new AD crafting style chapters from those though). Hm, maybe it's from Thieves Groves or Trials. Would be nice if anyone could confirm that VR 15/16 Hawk's Eye is actually obtainable in the game.
