You can't enchant Arrows.

I've only enchanted Bows with Fire or Frost, and I get around 40 odd damage on strike, going up to around 50 if I make it last 4secs. I usually go for 2secs damage. All Grand Souls.

Does your Grand Soul Gem def contain a Grand Soul and not a weaker type?

I use sigil stone dmg health enchants. No, they don't do as much dmg as the Grand Souls...but they have a ton more charge. 55 arrows of triple-poisoned master-stealth crit dmg oneshottedness? Azura's Star keeps the thing charged too.

You see, how the hell (or should the be "how the Oblivion") do you do that??!!

Admittedly my Marksman is still only 75, but I need to use poison + a Magic Arrow of 40pts x 2 secs + sneak, to get a one hit wonder. And alot of creatures still req a 2nd arrow if I'm not patient enough to wait around for them to die.

I don't usually keep my Bows charged anymore, but if I want to, Azura's star keeps them going no probs. 19 shots are still quite alot of monsters!

I just wouldn't bother with a Sigil Stone, cause the Magic Bows that are common enough in the game have 20 damage + 47 charges anyhow.

I one-shot them because I stay stealthed while the tri-dmg poison kills them. Not really a stealth kill because they don't die the moment they get hit, but still.
