Hey everyone! I’m playing a Bosmer bow warden and I’m really interested in exploring subclass options for her. I’m not the best at creating builds from scratch since I often rely on what others suggest. I’m thinking of going for a druid-style character that maintains the bear and bow but I’d also like to incorporate some skills from a templar (like sun abilities), a mage (storm calling), or maybe even a bit from a DK (earth skills). I’m not into endgame content; I typically just enjoy clearing the map and doing some dungeons. As a mostly solo player, I really need to focus on survivability for overland content and basic group dungeons. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks in advance!

You might want to consider the DK’s ardent flame skills, which can buff poison damage. Since you’re using a bow, combining those poison abilities with melee attacks like poison shalks could be great. Plus, the DK’s poison breath and claw morphs can heal you, making it a solid option! I’ve been playing around with something similar myself.
If you’re thinking about stealth, the Nightblade’s shadow line could make for an interesting stealth archer build. But keep in mind, having a big bear might make stealth tricky! Maybe blending some stealth with ranged might be an option, though.
Are you using the Oakensoul ring? It really matters how many abilities you’ll have, and what gear you currently have access to! If you’re going for an earth-focused druid build, the Pillar of Nirn is super effective.
I actually don’t have Oakensoul right now.
Are you using poisons or dealing DOT damage? If you’re into that, the necro’s grave lord skills provide some awesome passive boosts for DOTs. You could really make that work well with a bow build!
LOL true! It’s hard to sneak around with a huge bear following me!
