What bow enchant?

What would you put on a bow? At some point I was told I should use the +weapon damage glyph, so I kept doing that, but recently I looked at some Nightblade build, and it suggested to use poisons instead.
I don't feel like keeping an eye on poison stacks, so that aside, what glyphs are viable choices?

    Poison is indeed a great choice, as it deals good direct damage and can apply a strong dot.
    Keep in mind, that a weapon damage glyph has a cooldown of 10 seconds, instead of 4 seconds like normal enchants. Unless you run infused on that bow.

    I presume you are using bow as an off weapon ?
    Auri-El is my lord,
    Trinimac is my shield,
    Magnus is my mind.

    For PvE, alchemical poison is probably your best bet. Front bar would be a poison enchant and berserker assuming you’re dual wielding.

    In PvP, you have some more options. But poison is still strong.

    Yes, it's a secondary weapon.

    The disease glyph works on its own cooldown separate from the poison glyph. If you already have the poison glyph on the front weapon bar disease will likely proc more often on the bow than using a poison glyph. If you don't have the poison glyph on the front bar then use the poison glyph because it has a 20% chance to proc the poison status for a nice chunk of damage over time.

    Best is poison enchant (main hand) and weapon damage (off hand) on dual wield, with alchemy poisons on bow. In this case bow should be Nirnhoned since it does not use an enchant.

    Now if you don't want to use alchemy poisons, I believe this changes to poison and disease enchants on dual wield, with weapon damage on bow. That way twin slashes will proc the disease damage every 2s. The bow should be infused if your rotation is 10s or less, and Nirnhoned for 11s or longer.

    For either setup you want a Nirnhoned main hand and infused off-hand on your dual wield weapons.
