Poor poor Rangers. The bow has been in the game since day 1, a lot have asked for it to be better. Instead of a new class they should just make the bow better and it would basically add an archer class without actually adding a new class.

I took both a wardrn and nightblade in 2018 from level 1 to 50 and defeated Molag Bal using bow and class abilities only. Both were a cakewalk.3 -

✭✭Many people have been clamoring for a necro class since launch. You can already make an "Archer" type class.3 -

I'm fine with them adding in the necro, I'll always be ok with new classes. I haven't played in a while and wasn't sure how the bow bow builds were performing right now. I just need an excuse to make a khajhit cause you know... elsweyer0 -

No tbh bow needs help. Rework snipe to be a real spammable so it doesn't have the overloaded damage or the cast time and maybe buff the Hawkeye skill by 1 % and increase it's uptime.

As I said in this thread I took both a warden and nightblade using only bow and class skills from 1 to 50 and killed Molog Bal in 2018. I did not expereince a weakness with the bow. In fact it made aoe xp grind to easy.
I also did DK two handed in 2018 and while it was not hard I did find the two handed lacked dps compared to other weapon abilities and light / heavy attacks in pve.3 -

Bow/Bow builds are working just fine - perhaps a little squishy, but not any more than lots of other 'pure' dps builds I've seen. Knowing where to stand, when to move and when to use vigor are key - just like any dps build. Also, staying at range will often confuse healers who are used to everyone piling in with melee weapons, so watch out for that and be prepared to do all of your own healing if you're going to play at extreme long range.
I've been running one for a while now, and only real problem I have is when I encounter the meta-queens that seem to live inside the dungeon group finder and exist only to complain about other players... I've had everything from being asked 'don't you have a proper weapon' right up to just being kicked once they realised my weapon choice, then sent a link in private chat to an Alcast warden dps build that uses an 'acceptable' weapon combo.
My accountant told me to invest my money in bonds. So I bought 100 copies of Goldfinger.

I think a better solution would be to just add more stacks to Hawkeye, no need to worry about melee builds getting buffed. It would be nice to have a spammable that scales with Hawkeye instead of relying on Snipe.
Edit: They could even call it "Quick Shot" to mirror their NPC attacks.Edited by Toc de Malsvi on January 9, 2019 8:34PMLegendary Archer of ValenwoodBosmer Dragon Knight Archer. XBox One.

And even if history has tired of drinking blood, that’s only in regards to the amount. But what about quality? The larger the sacrifice is, the more delighted the cruel gods will be.0 -

This, lack of class skills for an two bar rotation is more of an issue and you miss stuff like spamable execute as another.Bows are fine.

In PvP you get survival issues.
However any stamina build has an bow in pve.
Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.0
