    Id like to see what would happen to those archers if they met some mages with actual skill.
    Mages are 10x more powerful (if they know the right spells) than archers unless the archer is sneaking.

      Key words there are "unless the archer is sneaking." I don't know many people with an archery of 100 who don't also have max sneak (and know how to use both). I personally also have max one-handed and use daggers in tight areas. Mage has.. spells. Some spells are amazing but they dont matter if the archer cant be found/ kill the mage in 1-3 hits while slowing time.

      I Lol'ed at your comment even this is 2015. Archers who play dead at first without using light armor + sneaking advantage are idiots. Well Archer might has shorter attack range but with more accuracy. Spell has longer range but it usually cost more magicka, archers could easily run until mages ran out of magicka (archers are quite fast with light armor).

      It sounds like someone's mage in WoW has been camped by hunters too much.

    Heres why the mage wins
    With
    The Archer having 500H/500S/100M and the Mage having 400H 100S 600M
    1 vs 3 Like in your pic archer is toast she cant dodge that much paralyze
    1 vs 1 Archer is dead if he gets hit with the mages Paralyze otherwise id give the edge to the archer
    3 vs 3 Archers are at a disadvantage here because 1 could spam fireball to block there L.O.S. while doing some damage while the other two fire off paralyze
    10 vs 10 Here you got some options you could
    1. Paralyze and fireball em
    2. Frenzy or Fear
    3 MASS Lighting Storm
    4. Kill and Resurrect
    5. Combo of the previous 4

    other
    Daedric Bow and Arrows for Archers and Healing spells for mages

      In case you didn't notice, it's an image for goodness sake, not some kind of tactical equation of archer vs mage. Stop being childish.

      All of this s#*! doesn't matter as it's a picture and the mages wouldn't do s#*! as stealth and poisoning is a major part of good archery.
      You can't cast spells if you're dead.

      sigh*... i know im about 2 years too late, but frankly, this picture doesn't tell a lot. Although, in my own experience, mage play style has the worst scaling of any class mainly due to lack of spell scaling/low damage. Plus the fact that paralyze has a 10 second duration and a massive cost it really isn't going to work out well. plus, what about spell resist/absorb that would really be the kicker in this fight. As the picture shows, archer is a human race, possibly breton, also possibly under the sign of the atronach, also possibly completed the book of love, maybe that gear is enchanted. but no matter, i dont mind helping people but i certainly cant fix stupid.

      except archers slow time and can kill an army while still being hidden.

      I'm going to add to this now 4-year old shitshow.

      I always play Breton. I take the Atronach Stone ability and take the Atronach perk in Alteration as well as Magic Resist in Restoration. As well as play sneak.

      Mages don't do f***ing s*** to me.

      Get rekt, magicboi.

      what the f*** is going on here???
      Skyrim ain't a PvP game so why tf are you idiots comparing skills, gear, potions and such s***?
      It's a player vs an AI, Bethesda, AI. Frankly doesn't matter what they are, the AI would still die
      and to top it all off, it's just for the sake of a cool shot, no need to make it into a dick messuring contest.

    Lore or Gameplay?

    in Lore, magic is so OP that many cultures in Tamriel consider it cheating. If the archer doesn't have any enchanting or potion to aid him, he's pretty much dead.
    In gameplay, we know that mages are the most underpowered class.

    Well done! This could easily be a still from a movie or book cover.
    It makes you want to know what came before as well as where the story is leading.
    Very nice composition. You have a directors eye.
