Me? I love the thing, firstly it just goes great for my warrior class (and imao it seems to level up archery faster than normal bows) Having the 3/4 stagger chance, +50% ignore armor (+2 enchantments of my own picking) essentially gives the thing 4 enchanting effects at once, tehcnically 5 if you choose to use eploding bolt (tho I try not to use it when there are followers around), great damage, and good for keeping enemies at bay as long as possible before I need to bash their skulls in with volendrung. Not to mention the Dwarven versions look bestly both in design and color.
But there are some con as well. Admittedly I find it much harder to aim at an moving target, and 2 seconds worth of reload time is pretty costly if I find myself missing even with the perk which reduce it to 1.4 seconds (I counted 2 seconds when I reloaded, and 30% taken from 2 is around 1.4) very difficult to hit moving targets unles they are charging at me. IMO Zooming in sorta makes it worse for me. But the pros far outweigh the cons in my opinion, ammunition may be rare but you can purchase literally hundreds of them at once, and moola is no stranger to my warrior. Honestly I've found myself using it far more often than my Volendrung, and that was supposed to be my main. It was hard to get used to at first, but it becomes so easy once you use it for hours.
So why do you like or hate them? Afterall I ant your guys's opinion on it. Not interested for whether or not I should use normal bows, I just want your opinion for the heck of it.
