you dont need the skills at this point to really do anything it just makes everything easier

however the stamina drain ahs a massive difference in say 0 in bows compared to 50. if you charge and hold a shot you will really see a difference! but for most weapons skill level just adds a few points here or there the quality and material type have a much larger effect.
