Currently I'm playing a stealth/archer character on expert and doing ok so far. The idea when I made the char was to make him a specialist both in archery while also beeing able to be deadly with backstabs.
Because I already rerolled once and wasn't sure I would really need any armor I have been rolling in robes not to level up any armor skill yet.
I'm rarely tanking much damage so I've been playing with the idea of enchanting some robes instead of using any armor skill.

The thing that is making me want to cave in and pick up light armor is the 2x backstab bonus on the shroud gloves.
So the big question becomes, are there any alternative ways to get the same bonus with enchanting or jewlery ?
Like I said I'm doing ok but not awesome so it seems like an almost mandatory item for backstabs.

If anyone has some insight on playing a pure stealth/archer with fortify bow enchants on expert that would also be great as I haven't leveled one-handed much yet either.

Best Regards
Lenny

You mean you actually play a rogue who wears plate armor? LAWL WTF

No I'm wearing robes which uses no armor skill at all at the moment.
