Can't keep arrow nocked?

[Rat wit da gat]

I just started, got my first bow, but when I hold left click, he draws it back slower, but still fires. Is there any way I can get it to fire when I release the left mouse button, but keep it nocked as long as I am still holding it? So that I can walk with it nocked like in other elder scrolls games?

If you just left click it will light attack with all weapons and if you hold left click it will heavy attack. And I think you can't load hold bows... Yeah, some of the combat, etc systems can be rather lame...

They recently changed it so you cant. Used to be it would not shoot until you let go of the attack button, but now it automatically fires when it fully gets pulled back.

Which makes bow even more lame as weapon :(
Sad patch for all roleplaying elven archers...

You could until a patch few weeks ago. Not sure about exact time, tho. Last time i played as magblade, and only recently rerolled back to archer.

It feels like ZoS fap on Templars (buffs, bonuses, jesus beam), hate Nightblades (invisibility for 3,5 sec WHAAAAAAAA..., half of skill was broken for years, half of skills is STILL broken) and they DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE to any bow users.

Bow is kinda weakest weapon in ESO, which had only few cool abilities:
We had poison arrow for first skill, which was quick spammable with cast breaking or extra damage after 50% hp. Now its freaking snipe shot. Like, yeeefckyou.
Bombard skill - high maintenance, but epic 2,5 sec stunner, which was life-saving in dungeons, where archer could keep adds in permanent stun. "Fixed", now you can stun just one time, which makes this morph dead.
Superpower to hold heavy attack as long as you want. Starting fight with full heavy attack from invisibility/stealth and NB bonuses = heavy hitter. No more heavy attack holding = nerfed.

CP System - was cool, but they changed it. If they nerfed mag users? Nope. They did it only to nerf stam users and bow users.
Ultimate is... chanelling attack. Like, what? Dual wield have cool instant attack, 2h ignored target's defence, dest.stuff is a damn FIRESTORM, and bow got... another soul strike? For real?

ZoS. Hates. Nightblades. And. Bows.
