    Yes
    Actually no (but clicked without reading, I had yes/no in my mind, instead of no/yes), because it plays too safe.
    I'd rather play melee, but that is my opinion.

    But it has an advantage:
    a lot of times bow mainbar means they are squishier because they go bow damage build which makes them easier to kill.
    Good for me for killing high dmg bow users fast out of multiple enemies :smiley:

    I respected them a lot more when DKs had the reflect because it discouraged spamming snipe incessantly.
    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!""

    __________________________Backstories:_________________________

    Ras Kalik the Vestige, a renown Redguard warrior; He has been blessed to save Tamriel from Molag Bal’s destructive Planemeld while reuniting the Five Companions. His further accomplishments after defeating Molag Bal, has been to stop the destruction of Morrowind, the Clockwork City, return order to the isle of Summerset and create a new king in Wrothgar and a queen in Elsywer. These events have made him a living legend and continue to lead him into new adventures throughout Tamriel, as well as into the hearts of many ladies including the Elf Queen, Aryenn. Over many years of adventurous travels, Ras Kalik had become a loner, until he re-visited his homeland of Alik'r.

    Alik'r and it's cities were overrun by the undead Ra-Netu and therefore he made an allegiance with Alik'r's own Ash'abah tribe. These Ash'abah with his help, cleansed the city of Sentinel in Alik'r desert and it's surrounding areas of the undead brought to life by the Withered Hand. After rescuing Sentinel from the undead zombies, King Fahara’jad’s personal bodyguard the Goliath of Hammerfell, who was given this name by Imperials in the region; was asked to assist the tribe after learning of the defeat of the Withered Hand to the Ash'abah. Kalik promised Goliath he would task him with fighting living enemies on the battlefield if he so desired. Goliath being a Yokudan warrior wields a massive sword in respect to the Ansei, a gift given by the Imperial, Cinan Tharn. Not many soldiers are able to wield double two handed weapons, but Goliath loves to get up and personal in a fight, so he also carries a giant maul, both weapons laced with magical flames.

    Jux Blackheart is a master thief that masquerades as a Bard at the Sisters of the Sands inn, with his younger sidekick Lucky Hunch for pilfering and gambling during this time. Jux was known to infiltrate any towns bank vault he came across and even delved into Ayelid ruins without detection. Kalik can vividly recall the night he met the famed thief. Jux found himself rummaging thru a slightly inebriated Kalik’s pocket for too long, on a full-mooned night and because of his greed and the glimmer of his golden armor in the moonlight. He lost his left pinky fingertip as a lesson! But in return, he gained a new friend, as it was his first time since a child being caught red-handed...

    Upon arrival back in the Alik'r after many moons of adventuring, Ras Kalik ventures to Bergama. Visiting The Winking Jackal, he runs into Jux Blackheart, who introduces him to the coin game Crowns vs Forebearers (Heads vs Tails) and Golden Dwemer (RBG).... Jux constantly takes gold from the unfortunate thru theft or gambling, his biggest gambling victim is actually his partner in crime known as Lucky Hunch the Gambler. Lucky doesn't mind losing any gold coins to Jux... as Jux saved him from Altmer slavers in Summerset, by stealing a key and sending him on a boat to the mainland years prior. Lucky spent years in slavery with Khajiits in Summerset and picked up the art of subterfuge, using illusion magic disguises and stealing there.

    Kaotik Von’Daemon an outcast, and a half-caste between a Breton mother and a Redguard father. Kaotik become a pariah due to his conjuration of Daedra pets. He was taught healing magic during his childhood years by his Breton mother. His father due to Redguard customs exiled him from the desert, sending him by wagon caravan to be a soldier in the war in Cyrodiil. He happened to meet Kalik while traveling from Alik'r, during this long caravan ride the caravan he was in was ambushed in Bangkorai by a group of bandits. Kalik by chance was also traveling thru this area on his Auridon Warhorse (which was bestowed to him by his friend, Darien Gautier). During this ambush, Kalik was able to rescue five hostages from the bandits. Kaotik was the first rescued, and Ras Kalik also recruited him to be in the Ash'abah tribe. These core Ash'abah tribesmen may never be seen together in travel as they partake in their own adventures but they always know what each other is doing; as they frequent a hideout in northern Bankorai. Their hideout an old Orc castle ruin, is kept watch by Nuzhimeh and she passes messages written between them, and frequently they also enjoy her company and her bed.

    The other men rescued were a Dunmer banker, an Imperial mercenary and two other soldiers, an Imperial and a Breton Knight, stating proudly he was an Akavir descendent. One of the Imperials, Cinan, claimed to be related to Abnur Tharn the Battlemage of the Imperial Elder Council (One of Ras Kalik's mentors in the Five Companions). Cinan Tharn was really Abnur's drunkard treasure hunting illegitimate son. He was caught smuggling artifacts out of the Ayleid ruins in Cyrodiil and the elder of the two Imperials was Tyrus Septim a retired Imperial navy battle-mage (now a Lycan mercenary living in the city of Rimmen) and guard to the Tharn family. As much as Abnur Tharn hated his half-sister Euraxia, he dislikes his bas†ard son Cinan more. Tyrus now a ruffian and privateer had been paid by Abnur Tharn to watch over Cinan as much as possible. Cinan Tharn a drunkard, loves to drink at least a quarter barrel of Nord mead before he raids various delves and dungeons for relics to sell on the black market. Cinan also plans to one day, run an illegal gambling ring... which he thinks will net him more gold for his wares.

    The Dunmer captive shackled to the Imperials looked familiar to Kalik from his time in Morrowind.... and he recognized him as Tythis Andromo a House Telvanni slave-owner and banker from Vvardenfell. During a rough interrogation to Tythis, Ras Kalik learnt why the bandits accosted him. The racist Dunmer was providing slaves as soldiers for the Three Banner War. The bandits were trying to negotiate a lucrative ransom for Andromo and the Imperials.... Kalik did not need any of this gold and he could never set Tythis free as he did with the two Imperial soldiers. His past involvement with slavery and war crimes, made Kalik's blood boil. He chose not to execute Tythis, as he figured the worse punishment for this former rich and opulent slave owner, is to now be an imprisoned servant for Ras Kalik and the tribe.

    Herzog Zwei the Genesis a reknown Imperial/Akavirri battle-mage. His roots going back to Akavir through his mother’s bloodline. (His mother is descended from the Akaviri, through Versidue-Shae, and his Imperial father met her in Hakoshae, while traveling) Herzog earned the nickname "the Genesis" from his father as a child, as he was his mother's first born child, and last, as she tragically died in child-birth.

    Herzog was seeking to purchase an artifact from Cinan Tharn, before their capture and was meeting Tyrus while in Rimmen, who introduced him to Cinan. This artifact being the Ayelid artifact; the sword Sinweaver. After their rescue and the exchange of gold to Cinan for the sword he decided to slip away before Ras Kalik could question who he was, and why the Akavir descendant really wanted that sword. Herzog was headed to Nagastani — An Ayleid ruin in eastern Cyrodiil. He had read in scrolls that the Sword would give him magical powers to meet his mothers spirit, if he performed an Ayleid ritual at an old shrine hidden there. Equipped with the artifact sword, he was off to start his own adventure but Ras Kalik, did indeed notice the sword however and instead sent a letter to Jux Blackheart (whom also was interested in Ayleid treasures), to attempt to find Herzog and acquire the sword. (*Azani Blackheart in Elder Scroll's Oblivion is Jux's descendant some 747 years later)

    And so the Redguard, Imperial and Akaviri men parted ways ... While Ras Kalik went off to Elsweyr to encounter the latest threat to Tamriel, with Abnur Tharn and Sai Sahan - - DRAGONS!! Little did Ras Kalik know a few people were awaiting him in Senchal besides Sai. A necromancer survived his attack on the Withered Hand, while in Alik'r. The necromancer known as Auriek Siet'ka is also following him to the land of the Khajiits and Cacique the Sage of Ius a Shaman mystic who has become attuned spiritually with Tu'whacca (a Redguard God) and Ius (the Animal God), after being burned severely by the escaped dragons in Elsywer, is awaiting his arrival also. Aurik is a soldier of the Daggerfall Covenant that was introduced to necromancy while in the military, even though this magicka art is not spoken of openly by most of the Military leaders. He came to Alik'r and worked with the Withered Hand before Ras Kalik intervened on their plans. After the defeat of the Withered Hand, he aligned with the Worm Cult, and is constantly adapting and perfecting his necromantic arts.

    After his journey to Rimmen, Kalik heads south to Senchal, in the southern regions of Elyswer. This new adventure will also put him on a path to meet a strange Redguard man. The stranger which was infected with an untreated Peyrite disease and also was the exiled from the Order of the New Moon cult, due to his sickness. He originally joined the cult to worship Laatvulon, the green dragon, mistakenly thinking it was the Daedric prince Peyrite. This confused and suffering cultist is known as Tsar al-Bomba and he is on a path to spread the disease. He was originally infected in Orccrest while recruiting members there. Can Ras Kalik and the shaman Cacique cure this poor soul, only time will tell. Little does Tsar al-Bomba know, that his infection is tied to Vampirism, and eventually the desire for blood will take over his mind. Senchal also offers Kalik his latest love interest... Aeliah. Whom he fondly led thru battles with the Dragonguard.

    After the trek thru the heat, tropical and desert climate of Northern and Southern Elyswer, Ras Kalik heads north to the cold mountain range of Skyrim. His companion friend Lyris beckons for him with a letter sent by crow...

    Movárth Piquine - a former vampire hunter (now infected), within the Fighter's Guild (and a secretive necromancer) was in Skyrim working with the Morthaal Guard. On a patrol mission he was caught in Frewien's ice curse outside of Morthaal with the frozen undead. Movárth's vampiric infection kept him from becoming an undead minion to the curse. He was able to use necromantic ice-magic to encase himself safely until he was freed with Freiwen, when the Vestige Ras Kalik broke the curse.

    Uri Ice-Heart - brother of Urfon Ice-Heart. The twin sons of Atli and Oljourn Ice-Heart. The Ice-Heart family are originally from Markarth but now reside on the Jerall Mountain range near Cyrodiil, with their younger sister Araki. The twins had joined the Winterborn Reachmen while living in Markarth. Urfon pushed west to Orsinium with the Winterborn Clan, leaving his family behind. Uri stayed behind with his parents and sister to live in the family cabin for safety, avoiding the Vampire plague infiltrating the Reach. After news reaches him and he hears of Urfon's death... Uri leaves and heads home and is seeking vengeance. Meanwhile, his sister has also moved on to Windhelm to join the Fighter's guild. He will visit his sister, once before going to seek vengeance and she will craft him armor mixed with ice, called Stalhrim armor. Uri fearing death, after his brother's passing, falls victim to the convincing talk of Movárth at a Nordic tavern, and will also becomes a vampire.

    I said no mostly because most of the ones I've seeb using it just hide and spam snipe, and mostly get kills only if they manage to desync your health. That don't impress me much. I have no problem with it and respect good ones that use it as a normal part pf ranged warfare or part of a rotation however.

    I kinda feel this poll is inadequate and biased though, as this response falls more into other or should be a direct option.

    Kinda depends and there is no "other" option. There are a lot of people who just spam snipe then fall over like a wet noodle once you get to them. Then there are others who use bow as part of their rotation which is fine. Most of the time snipe spammers are the freest of kills though so I don't mind too much. At the end of the day respect is arbitrary while AP is still AP.

    Here. Fixed it.

    While the DC rally point in the Memorial district is definitely the worst (with often 30 smurfs camping there), I would like to mention EP as well. The Arena, Memorial and Temple district almost always guarantee a big pack of reds standing on top of their rally point. Not sure about AD because I'm usually on an AD alt in the IC, but since most of AD's rally points are away from the bussy spots I don't really think they're used as camping points.
    @perhaps we were in different instances or on at different times?

    I've called for the Sanctuary buff zone to be extended to cover a larger area like it once did. That way, nothing coming in, nothing going out (damage wise).

    I played all Alliances across multiple accounts at one time or another (an no, not opportunity swapping). I ran into some EP doing that, but there is one zone where the spawn is right by the main door that almost religiously had 3-5+ AD taking proc pot shots with Hunters, Venom, Syvara's, and half a dozen other proc sets. They'd never hop down, IDC what the xVx ratio was, and they never engaged. Hell, they wouldn't even stick their nose out long enough to see a nameplate.

    You didn't FIFM unless you extended the Sanctuary zone. I think people should get in the fight.

    @zvavi @caperb I believe we can agree it's cheese, regardless who or what alliance is doing it. I'll happily apologize for any douchehats anyone else ran into (or rather, couldn't run into) wearing the same banner color as my own.

    I'm not saying it's the whole alliance doing it, in any case, just a handful of people that shouldn't be in the zone in the first place.

    I'll hop back in and identify the specific zone I'm referring to, if anyone is interested.

    Yea bow/bow is definitely harder to play compared to bow/2h or dw. It's still fun to play bow/bow but sometimes I wish it would be a bit stronger. Anything above 25k hp is almost impossible to kill..

    The bow is not the problem, its the game servers that lag you out for 2-3 seconds when you get "hit" by a snipe. Many a time my character dropped dead out of the blue only to see snipe spam killed them. This is infuriating to be on the receiving side. However snipe is a good skill and it's the games fault that it can't properly process the skill in pvp.

    Another issue is it's so easy to LoS snipe whereas magicka ranged abilities are mostly instant and those just follow you around corners much easier. With snipe there's a 1 second window to easily LoS it. And very frequently I complete a full casted Snipe and yet it doesn't follow my target around the corner unfortunately..

    It really depends on the bow user. If they are spamming the same skill repeatedly, and only that skill. Eh, not much. If all you can do is hit me with snipe, or bombard, and nothing else

    But the bow users who work with skill combos to set up burst, like snipe, light attack with crushing weapon, poison injection, magnum shot for stun and a relentless focus finisher. Yeah I respect that. That takes skill to set up and land and usually means you aren't hiding in stealth for most of your combo.

    I personally run the latter on one of my builds. I have snipe, but it's only used once as an opener to land with the first light attack and crushing weapon, not as a spammed skill.

    Yeh sure I'd be interested to know where the AD cowards hide (for if I go into IC on another character). Usually I ignore those players but if they keep on shooting arrows I'll dance around their spawn until I can get a curse on them. Meteor will follow soon and then it's basically a free execute.

    I actually never realised that some players stay on top for the IC dailies, until this event. I always thought they were there for 'farming' potatoes.

    Most likely arena. Funny part is that in a symmetrical way, there is a DC spawn point on the other main door, and a red spawn point at one of the farther doors (generally arena district is the most disgusting rally pointwise, way too much area can be covered by them, excluding blue rally in memorial).

    But ye, we can agree it is cheese, you can scroll back to my original comment here, that I disrespect bow users only if they stand on top of a rally point hiding in a safe zone and spamming snipe :)

    Why shouldn't we? What kind of question is that? Why is a bow user not worthy of respect but a magicka sorcerer who spams 2 skills from range and then "streaks" away if his health drops, is ? Why is a bow user not worthy of respect but a magblade who ganks you from stealth is? Or a stam warden who is safe behind his immortal build with both insane dmg and dmg mitigation? Or a stamcro with Thews that does nothing else except holding block?

    If you can't kill a weak, birdy bow build with ridiculously low resist and health and bad resource sustain, then the problem is on your side.

    The whole bow skill line needs to be reworked. If they nerfed dizzy swing because it was an "overloaded" skill they need to look at snipe and poison injection.
