Firing Silver Bolts

Silver Bolts: Fire a Dawnguard Vampire Hunter's crossbow bolt to strike an enemy, dealing [5533 / 5593 / 5654 / 5715] Physical Damage.

Silver Shards: Area: 5 meters.
Fire an augmented Dawnguard Vampire Hunter's crossbow bolt to strike an enemy, dealing 5716 Physical Damage. Fires additional bolts at other enemies near the initial target for [25 / 24 / 23 / 22]% less damage.

Silver Leash: Cost: 3780 Stamina, Range: 22 meters.
Fire a Dawnguard's crossbow hook to pull an enemy to you, dealing [3811 / 3853 / 3896 / 3936] Physical Damage, taunting them for 15 seconds if they are not already taunted, and reducing their Movement Speed by 30% for 4 seconds.

Silver Bolts deals Physical Damage to a single opponent, or up to six opponents with the Silver Shards morph. Choosing the Silver Leash morph increases the cost and reduces the range and damage but pulls the target to you while reducing their movement speed and attempting to taunt them.

Notes

• In some cases, when using Silver Leash, the target will be unable to move. This can happen in various situations:
  • The target is knocked down or immobilized by another attack.
  • The target has recently been moved by another player also using Fiery Grip.
  • The target is charging up a Heavy Attack.
  • Most boss level enemies cannot be pulled.
  • Some targets are always immobile, e.g. Stranglers.
• Using Silver Leash around other players can cause confusion or even annoyance. As a matter of etiquette, it's probably best to avoid using it on a target who is already engaged with another player, unless they appear to be in need of a rescue.
• The skill was known as 'Crossbow Pistol' at an early point in development, with the description "Fire a Single [sic] crosbow [sic] pistol shot that stuns undead and daedra. Target evaporates into ash if killing blow [sic]."

  • This ability now properly displays an error message if the target is too high or low relative to the caster.
