Hawk Eye Bow Passive -- Change Proc Condition from Light/Heavy Attack to Any Bow Ability

(Old) Hawk Eye
(WITH A BOW EQUIPPED) Dealing damage with a Light or Heavy Attack increases the damage of your Bow abilities by 5% for 5 seconds, stacking up to 5 times.

(New) Hawk Eye
(WITH A BOW EQUIPPED) Dealing damage with a Bow Ability increases the damage of your Bow abilities by 5% for 5 seconds, stacking up to 5 times.

This would make the Hawk Eye passive proc more reliably in PVP, where it is difficult to keep up, without empowering the initial snipe of a ganker.

    So that snipescrubs can have even MORE encouragement to just brainlessly spam one skill? No thanks. Not until they bring back the DK wings to put them back in check at least.
    Shortly after the formation of the Ebonheart Pact, a Nord woman was given a tour of the Tribunal Temple. When later asked about the experience, she seemed upset. Suffice to say, the Dunmer were not pleased to hear this, and thus they inquired further.
    "Well," the Nord frowned, "the priests were very angry and unwelcoming. They kept shouting things at me like "you can't drink that mead in here!" and "somebody stop her, she's running naked!" and "we can't catch her; she's covered in grease!""

    Lol as opposed to the 'scrubs' who use proc sets, or the ones who hide behind thier pets, or the ones who use engine guardian as a form of defense, or the ones who spam jabs, or the ones who brainlessly follow 'the meta' Etc etc

    I've never quite understood what constitutes a scrub in this game.

    The passive rewards proper light attack weaving. It's engrained into the very soul of this game so it needs no change.

    Light attack weaving to keep the passive up is inconsistent in PVP, where enemies dodge and LOS often. Also, in all content, the passive completely drops to zero stacks during the use of the Toxic Barrage ultimate because the channel takes too long.

    Pass. Current passive is better for PvE and bow burst damage would increase a bit too much in PvP if you could just spam acid spray to keep up 25% damage increase.

    A scrub is anyone using a skill that kills him.

    Current passive that only procs from light/heavy attack is not better for PVE. The suggested change which procs from damage from any bow ability would be better because it would proc from all bow attacks instead of just light.heavy attacks.

    Proc sets have just made every build almost as easy to play as a snipe stacker, the main difference is that nothing other than nightblade cant just pop 1 skill and instantly negate all incoming damage plus turn off all incoming DOTs for 3 seconds.

    Please be aware that the way you phrased that text a single Poison Injection would keep this up at 5 stacks all the time since it is "dealing damage with a bow ability". It should say "dealing direct damage with a bow ability" if anything.
    This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.
