I am so tore apart between a battle mage/ mage hero or a stealthy archer. But what's divideing me is the pvp. I really enjoy stealthing and using the element of surprise to wreck some cloth or light armor wearing hero, but i don' tknow how that would pan out because if a mage can use heavy armor it would make them IMO pretty powerful. But ill stop beating around the bush i was thinking of making


Class: Archer type/ with dagger use
Race: Wood elf
Focus: Single damage output with high concentration of stealth.
Armor type: Light



I was wondering what you guys think of this.

Be a stealthy, heavy-armor toting, bow-wielding mage. It could totally work, you just gotta figure out what perks you want and what-not. Maybe not have heavy-armor, but substitute in medium or light.

One thing about the stealth archer is that you can do a lot of PvP by yourself in the faction vs faction war. What you do is camp the paths that lead from respawn points back to the battles that are taking place and pick off the players trying to get back to the battle

Of course any stealth player is also wanted as a scout to go ahead of the main army when your side is taking on major objectives like Elder Scroll Keeps.

That's the thing i can't allow myself two mix both. I think i would affect its either skill potential tremendously if i can't focus on one or the other.

Should i keep the idea of having some dagr talents or just focus on bow since i do have stealth i can only imagine the escap mechs that come with it.

Well personally I plan to try to make a stealthy healer, like the Smuggler and Agent were in SWTOR, and I don't want to be just a healer because I feel that will limit my chances of ever becoming Emperor because MMO developers always forget about giving healers any credit when the battle is won. So my stealthy healer will hopefully be using shortsword as well as healing...

Depends on how the perks/skills are structured. Maybe there are some synergies or it is a complete waste.
I would try to keep the distance and rely on stealth/CC for the firsthit and better position.

It is also important how stealth will work. Really invisible to other players? Restealth infight? How long infight?

Yah that's what i was thinking as well.. I would def need some CC/ Escape tools to make this work. Another thing is the total potential of damage with a bow, would it even be viable
