I enjoyed things as soon as I picked up Expert skill in archery. Nothing is quite as cruel as knocking an enemy down, then rushing up to feed a few more rounds into their prone body before they can stagger back to their feet. Knocking down (or paralyzing) an enemy isn't all that great for a long-range sniper because it upsets my lay of the shot. That, and a prone figure presents a much smaller target aspect.

I can usually pump in a few ranged destruction spells into them while they are down without much trouble, and it usually is enough to drop thier health to the point that a couple more arrows will finish them off.
