At the left, my main ranged weapon (hunding's, precise, no enchanment sin'ce I've forgotten to put something... but OK over all).

At the right, the 2 last rewards of the worthy I've got

Both sets are great, but those weapons are pretty useless in... let me see, 99.999999999%of the builds. Maybe the bow could get some use in case of a magicka dot build, but it is clearly an much more inferior option compared to VD staff.

Marksman inferno staff is quite an insult... how could I get the bow bonus WITH A STAFF!!!!
Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    I got 2 staves, a shield, a 2 handed sword and a mace from the marksman set... needless to say they were quite a disappointing reward.

    In theory, you could be using the bow to reach one of the lower tier set bonuses (say you've already got 5 Hundings and you're just filling out the remainder of your slots) but yeah, it's Rewards of the Decon Bait like 99% of the rest of the pieces you get.

    I would be happy with that loot, I usually get a restoration staff of Agility with training trait Q.Q and bow of the worm cult set with precise trait >.<

    I recently got the "Marksman's SWORD" and the "Restoration staff of FURY"

    It's also nice to get a boost to weapon damage when I have a restoration staff out. Maybe someone might find this useful, but certainly not me.

    Also, I'm glad to have extended range on my bow attacks when I have a SWORD in my hand. REALLY?

    Clearly, these are randomly generated "Rewards of the Irony" -- I refuse to believe a human being sat down and thought they'd create these items strictly for the expressed purpose of trolling players.

    All the Fury Staffs I've destroyed.
    All the Marksmen Shields I've gone thru
    All the Vicious Death Mauls of grain solvent.

    My outright FAVORITE though has to be my Restoration staff of Leki. I have gotten this not once, not twice but 7 times, 3 of which were back to back rewards.

    Some stuff should be on the loot table.

    Light armor sets should not have bows, 2H, 1H mace and axe.

    Medium sets should not have staffs.

    Im not sure what builds people are running with heavy but destro staffs are probably also useless there.

    I'd say 1 out of every 100 reward bags is something usable. I got a sharpened vicious death sword the other day. Might as well have been a Sharpened maelstrom inferno staff.

    I've had one locked for months - Not too enthusiastic about buying one to make a pair, and it could be a while before one is given again. So, I was happy at first, then reality set in...

    I think we can all agree, that rewards of the Irony Worthy should be replaced anyway.

    We had enough hews bane stuff, maybe let us earn new sets from the upcoming Morrowind expansion?
    Or Wrotghar Sets, msa Sets(Didn't say msa weapons, RELAX!)?
    Maybe even reintroduce Master Weapons as top tier rewards? Let us receive legendary upgrade stuff if in top 10% of leaderboard?

    A crazy little idea: Very rarely jewelry for craftable sets?

    Just something different please ._.
