So I've decided to dust off my Stormcloak/Slayer of Alduin playthrough that I left a while ago for other stuff. I'm needing some help with gear. The character is an archer. I rarely use any stealth except to get the first shot in for extra damage, but that's the extent of it. I use light armor. No melee sneak attacks, so Ancient Shrouded Gloves would be useless.

Once I muster the courage to undergo the grind that is 100 Smithing and Enchanting, I'll enchant a set of dragonscale with bow damage, stamina/health regen, etc. But until then, what should I use? I'm using an unenchanted set of Elven currently. It gets the job done, but I'd like something fancy. I'm thinking either Nightingale or possibly Linwe's armor.

For the bow, I'm using the conjured bow for free and unlimited arrows, but I'm planning on using a legendary Elven bow for the firing speed and decent damage. What sort of enchantments should I think of putting on it, if any? Paralysis seems like a good idea, but what should go in the last slot?

Thanks for any help you can give .

Don't use paralyze,it is glitched,sometimes your target will fall over before your arrow even hits them,making your arrow miss.Besides it makes the game too easy...
Use Fiery Soul Trap 1sec+Frost Damage 10pts.Also get the Black Star...Also since you plan to use Drangonscale armor and if you do not have Dawnguard,the Forsworn bow matches dragon armor.

I couldn't find Fiery Soul Trap before Level 65 so in meantime I used Soul Trap + Fire. It's true that Paralyze is not working well and if you can kill quickly it's not worth. As for me, I prefer Fire than Frost Damage. And of course all that will depends of the Disenchanted items. I also prefer light armor but as each time I level I choose Health, I only need to put Magic on my gears. I don't need Stamina with One-Handed weapons... Of course resist Fire, Frost and Magic are important. I would even say that resist Fire is the first enchantment to apply on gears.

You can find Fiery Soul Trap at level one its location is fixed at http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Ironbind_Barrow.
