I am in Ruethian's boat, full light armor, 100 smithing, FINALLY, using my perks in combat, max hp, 100 base magicka and stamina, i plan to use windwalk, 3xbow dmg, and any +% bow dmg modifiers I can find. I already do about 84 damage at lvl 24, sadly its stayed the same upto 29. Using elven arrows pumps me to like 96 or 98 dmg. or w/e it is. I can still get sneak dmg, but I don't know if it calculates the 15 fire damage enchant I have 3x as well or not. That would be superb. I made 3 imperial long bows that have soul trap 1 sec 480~ charges, I carry around to fill soulgems to replenish the magic on my elven bow for the 15 fire dmg, I can't wait to max enchanting and dual enchant/arcane blacksmith stuff to past legendary.
Odd thing though, +% better enchanting, then smithing, +% smithing improvements. = win/win scenario, you can push things far beyond a typical "base" legendary as I would call it & if I take the left side of smithing perks, I can save about 5 or 6 perks by 50 for other things. pickpocketing, or w/e. Not sure yet, hell, maybe 30x dmg and 5 points in 1handed. lol. dunno. It's a sneak/archer/smith/enchanter build with just enough inlight armor for windwalking, pure tank/hp build. I use lucian lachance's ghost and a dark brotherhood initiate as my minions, plus I can still use basic sorcery to resurrect something else. those 50% dmg potions for archery are especially frightening to use when fighting dragons. Followed by 25 psn dmg spam on my bow. Thats for when things get hairy. All else fails, one of those major invisibility's and sneak away..
