Anything from basics to advanced would be greatly appreciated. I don't even know what to put my 10 points into, health or stamina. Do archers have any use for stamina?

You will consume stamina while bow-zooming, if you use it.

A pure archer might invest in nothing but stamina. But it depends upon how hardcoe you wish to go. My character uses bow but has a fair amount of Health, because she melees as well.

yep the perks to slow down time and zoom deplete ur stamina so put into that . also stamina is what helps build ur carry load. u should also put perks into sneaking to get the x3 sneak damage from a bow

Stamina is used for the zoom perk so its good to have

Stealth is your friend as stealth multiplyer makes bows deadly, also keep a melee weapon at hands, bows never work all the time.

YES. Sprinting away can save you alot. Trust me, having 200 stamina with no penalty from armor definitely lets you run longer and faster than having 100. (get the perk for no armor penalty or use the steed stone until you get it.)

It is worth it, trust me. It has saved me more than once. As a ranged person your stamina should be higher than your hp, even if only slighlty.

Also, while having your bow out, if you hit the left trigger, it will do a weapon bash. It is very very very useful. It can stagger an opponent when they are just about to swing at you. Suddenly power attacks become less scary. Power bash also requires stamina.

Also try and find Whirlwind Sprint as soon as possible. That is a free and instant sprint to another postion for a volley.

Any archer, should max. MAX the perk tree for Archery. Enough said.

Choose light armour. Invest in stamina and poison your arrows. I suggest the one that slows down your enemies, they'll take forever to get to you so you'll have ample time to shoot them down.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. Looks like I will start to increase my stamina
