Is Daedric bow considered a heavy armor? Or are weapons not considered armors? I'm wondering because if Daedric bows arent considered heavy armor then I might as well level up my light armor perks to gain to bonuses for having complete light armor head - body - hands - feet. At the moment, I can't see any indication of any weapon being considered heavy, only shields do.

Edit: Nvm misunderstood post.

...it's a weapon. It's not classed as armor.

So my Light armor perks should work as long as everything other than my Daedric bow is light armor?

If your talking about smithing, all weapons correspond to the armor type; IE Ebony smithing = crafting and upgrading ebony armor and weapons.

Yes. Weapons aren't armor.

YAY lol thanks!

You don't need armor perks at all when you are an archer. You will sneak-kill most of enemies, and those you can't one-shot you will be staggering/paralyzing when running around them trying to hide. So get perks for bow, sneak, illusion instead. Poisons are priceless as well, I especially love the mana poison, which can svck all the spells out of mage.
