In Skyrim, you can shoot your bow and/or cast a spell and still remain hidden the whole time. In ESO, if you are hidden, you only use up Stamina if you move or use an attack that has stamina. So, I have to ask, can you stay in one spot, let's say perched up on a wall in a battle field, snipe all day long and stay hidden the whole time?

I picture hundreds of spells and arrows just appearing out of thin air from all over the place on a battlefield. I can also picture an army of spawned monsters in a castle couryard just appearing out of thin air.

Few things that make this unviable:

- The character dispels invisibility upon attacking (So you give out your position, even if you can just instantly enter back to stealth)
- The character cannot be invisible if he is taking damage (someone's going to DoT you the second you leave stealth)
- There are spells that give people invisibility detection (Hence every competitive PvP group will have one "Scout" focused character who can spot these stealthed guys and deal with them appropriately.)

stealth breaks when you do a hostile act.

atleast i read this from somewhere.
