You are right about one thing, doucheinthenorth, the power of weapons seems to increase less and less as one goes up the Smithing tree. The difference between a Legendary Forsworn Bow, (11 pounds, 196 damage with Archery of 100 and no enchanted gear, potions, etc.) and a Legendary Dragonbone Bow, (20 pounds, 220 damage) is trivial.

(The numbers We quoted in the earlier post were while wearing enchanted attire and are not the highest one can achieve.)
