Bound bow Archery skill

Post » Wed May 16, 2012 12:53 am

A couple of my friends and i were talking about this and we couldn't find anything online but does the bound bow scale with conj and archery skill?

I would think it does since its a Bow but we want to know for sure.

Any info would be great thanks in advance.

I am not 100% sure but I would think that Conjuration would effect the time it is bound for and the ability to cast it (as it might be a Adept level spell) and the damage the bound bow does is effected by the Archery skill.

It was confirmed in the IGN gameplay video that using the Bound Bow increases your archery skill, so I'm pretty sure it would also have its damage determined by that skill as well.

I'm hoping that the conjuration skill determines how much damage we do with conjured weapons. I had planned out a Necromancer/Thief, and I was going to use only Conjuration as a damage dealing skill, relying on pets and bound weapons. But if using bound weapons increases skill with that weapons class, then I will have to rethink my plans because to many skill points will start getting dumped into Archery and 1 Handed, thereby gimping the other skills I really wanted to use. Oh, well, maybe I'll just roll my Paladin first and not worry about it. :whistling:

Well, there is a conjuration perk that makes bound weapons do more damage; maybe that will be enough. We'll have to see.

But using those bound weapons will still increase skills that he does not want to increase.

I want my first character to mainly use the bound bow and if its effected by both conj and archery skills thats what i want its like double dipping in damage multipliers and skills.
