Stamina Necromancer Bow
Barrage is a Stamina Necromancer Bow Build PVE. An alternative Stamina Necromancer PVE Build that is using only the bow as its weapon. The build is balanced around both solo and group gameplay. An excellent option if the bow is your favorite ESO weapon. Barrage can complete almost every PVE content.
If you are a new player, you can take a look at my Necromancer Beginner Guide. For a Dual Wield Stamina Necromancer PVE Build take a look at Harbinger. If you are looking for a Solo PVE Build for Arenas like the Maelstrom Arena and Vateshran Hollows, take a look at my Stamina Necromancer Solo Build.
