Hay guys quick question. Is marksman actually worth having and traing in?

HELL YEAH! There's nothing like watching your enemy suddenly loook down and his chest to find an arrow sticking out, and then collapsing.....

Or to kill a cliff racer in mid-air with a single shot.

especially if you need to kill someone from a distance and are to weak to attack directly.

Yeah I've been thinking of making a char with marksman skill as major. Cause the mod called marksmanmod or something (pretty large one, 16Mb) would probably come in handy...

im on xbox so i dont know about the mod, but marksman is a pretty sweet skill. especially once you get use to it. you can take down enemies without having to stop and hack...its sorta a convience thing for me. i always run around with my bow out. also, with a high acrobatics skill you can get on top of roofs, rocks etc and rain death with impunity.

The fact alone that one can dodge spells and arrow simply by strafeing makes marksmanship one of the usefull skills there is..

marksmanship is good, especially if you can go to Mournhold and get the Dwemer darts, they are awsum, around 20-35 dmg or some such and magical dmg for about 10 secs

dwemer darts a excellent, but one step up would be the black hands darts. i've only been able to find a few, but they are insane. huge poison damage!

yep, my 70lvl char died on those darts when i was raiding the sewers, they are extremely handy

I used marksmanship as my (only) major offensive skill since my pc was heavy into stealthing, not fighting or magicking. It was especially satisfying when my char was relatively low level, and thus quite weak, and still able to take out powerful enemies. Shoot, hide, sneak around, take another shot, run, hide again, all the while hoping your opponent won't get the drop on you.

Bound longbow is one of the most useful spells early game. 2-50 damage, works SO well.

And if you're planning on putting points into conjuration anyways, well then, get a lesser bonewalker to tank for you.
Works alright, I have some issues with the summons, but thats not the point of this thread now is it?
