Sneak damage advice needed.

GreenSoup2HoT · April 2016

Can anyone tell me how sneak damage works? (crouching and hidden)

How would Lethal Arrow compare to Focus Aim from sneak? (one poison then other physical)

Which weapon class does the most damage from sneak with a heavy attack?

Do bow heavy attacks get the bonus damage?

Any info is appreciated.

Don't know about the sneak dmg, but I think focused aim is better than lethal arrow for sneak attacks and as a dmg skill in general. Lethal arrow deals poison dmg yet I hear it scales off of spell resistance so light armor builds might not take as much dmg.

Plus the heal debuff is good but it can be purged off by Templars

AND I still belive bow does the most sneak attack dmg if you are at max range and make use of the Longshot passive.

Bow attacks dont get the sneak attack bonus, you get the sneak attack damage when you're stealthed and hit someone in the back with a physical melee attack.

I would use Lethal Arrow.

I assume Dragonknights when buffed.

Khajiit/Bosmer Nightblade with Focused Aim at max distance while fully buffed and Camo Hunter active with 93 cp in mighty and 64 in critical strikes will deal the highest damage, especially if the target is undead.
