Woah. This is a fire build (hehehehehehe). Everything comes together. I get every choice you made. Illusion makes fire more effective (and fire is the best choice because very few enemies are immune + its the cheapest kind of destruction magic) and the dragon priest mask you use makes fire more effective. The mask is heavy armor, so the rest of the armor will be heavy armor too. In order to make it more sneaky, we want Boethia's mail. Boethia's mail provides a damage over time to nearby enemies, so get Sweep to be consistent with the theme and use fire cloak (it also stops the mail from making you go all black and oozy looking, which ruins the aestehtic for many builds). Its a build that invests in all stats, so an effect that heals without draining magica is a necessity, thus Ebony blade time. Ignite is the best choice of fire spell because it's cheap but does ridiculous damage (cus stacking). Dunmer is the best choice because you can basically max Fire Resistance and its consistent with the fire theme. Bravo. You actually made a build like this work.
Thank you, thank you, Tina. That's a lot of typing but you explained the build better than I did, so it was well worth it :) I really enjoy ongoing damage in Skyrim. The only problem is it prevents the finishers from firing up, and I enjoy those too.
This is it! I have found the one! This is the build that is bringing me out of Skyrim retirement. The presentation of this build was something else entirely! I can't remember if I've mentioned the fact that I love the way you present your backstories/roleplays. They elevate your builds to another level. As I can't use difficulty mods I think I'll only take the first juggernaut perk, carry on up to conditioning and drop all the perks from smithing. That should keep my defences low enough for a decent challenge. I can always fortify health and health regen with alchemy for the tougher battles. This is a long comment but the build deserves it. Awesome on all fronts!
@@belisaurusgaming6192 Haha! I didn't really want a social life anyway! See ya, folks! I'm off to Helgen! I might finally get that damn oblivion walker trophy on this playthrough.
This build is so cool! I've been struggling with what skills I should use in my Dark Elf build for awhile now, and I never even considered using heavy armor (I always used light). But using the ebony mail... brilliant! Stronger protection plus silence with the added benifit of damage output! I love it!
Nice! I have a Sneak/Destruction build. She is an Argonian Theif/Fire Mage. Sneak, Quiet Casting, Muffle, and Fire Destruction is a winning combo. When in town she'll rob everyone blind.
I guess it's better to reply late than never. This is probably my best build yet, but the dark Rider and the mage hunter also make me quite proud. Check them out, if you're in the mood.
I actually wanted to make a farmer/citizen build with like two woodcutters for melee and bow for hunting. Maybe using smithing and alchemy to make the wepons a bit more formidable.
I been seriously considering a build like this. And now I believe I've found it. Want to do a very long term build/run, and also been studying up on the Artificer build too. hmmm..... :)
This one here is a good one for a long playthrough. It actually has to be a bit long because you need to give yourself some time to assemble all the items.
True, true good point I haven't gave this into consideration. Also the added challenge of playing a female (which I have not success in the past). Even after the games content is finished now I will have tons of modded quest etc. to do. I'll keep you up to date from time to time. See you on Skyforge pages to guildy (I'm ThornJagger)
Oh, Hi! I must say I don't frequent Skyforge as much as I should. We could meet on the Skyrim Guards Discord if you're there :) Funny you should mentioned the playing as the opposite gender problem. Up to a point I also thought it would be harder to immerse myself in a female character playthrough, but then I made a very cool alchemist lass from Hammerfell and it was a pretty good experience. It was weird for a few early hours an then it just became a good playthrough.
ive kept forgetting to ask lol do you know of/ how do you feel about the artificer - artifacts of skyrim mod? personally i absolutely love it and of course here i am once more still addicted to these marvelous creations of yours :)
I have used the Ebony Sword but I much prefer to use a smithed up weapon with absorb health and absorb stamina enchanted on it. That way I get back both health and stamina in combat. If I am dual wielding then I will put paralyse and either chaos or absorb magicka on the weapon. Having said that I have started to use the fiery soul trap with paralysis on the second weapon. Fiery soul trap and soul trap can be enchanted together. Not tried it yet but I have wondered if you get two soul gems filled rather then one.
I think one soul trap supresses the other, i.e. there can only be one soul trap effect on any target at any given time. But check the UESP Wiki, there should be some tricks with firey soul trap if I recall correctly.
Started using firey soultrap along with the shock and magicka damage from the steel greatsword Stormfang. Great against anything but especially vampires what with the flame and the shock magicka damage. So if the sword or the flame does not kill them the shock and destroy magicka reduces their magicka attack on you. Works just as well with a bow. Did the Ebony Warrior recently. Just as he dies he says about going to Sovngarde. Guess who had firey soultrap on his bow. And guess who now resides in the Soul Cairn instead of Sovngarde. Ops.
If you want to find a FREE Flame Cloak Spell Tome, I know where you can get one. Take a carriage to Dawnstar. Head like you're going to the Dawnstar Sanctuary, but keep going straight up the river. Look for a part where there's fire on the ground, and you'll see a burnt body with the tome. You can get it right at Level 1.
Well, I am not sure, it's been a while since I did this one. You have a decent chance to find/buy a sword with Absorb Health from level 6 up, IIRC. Before you get all the heavy armor perks, using the Steed Stone may be a good idea for a few levels. I don't remember if it's stated in the video, but it should also play nicer if you treat this character as a pure warrior for first, say, 10 - 15 levels, and only start to branch out to other skills once you feel like your warrior skills are good enough. I'd have to think and check a few things in the Wiki if you need anything more specific.
BeliSaurus Gaming I’m sure you’re just joking and are not actually frustrated but I’ve been fucking up ALOT lately, like a lot. “Uuuurrrghh!!” Is exactly how I’ve been feeling lately
It's from Poland and I don't like it at all :( It used to be slightly less noticable, but apparently my english got a bit rusty. Oh well, we will deal with that too.

There’s some nice synergy between perks skills and abilities in this build. Nice work.
Thanks. I think it's the one I am most proud of so far. Some deep research went into it :)

Possibly my best vanilla build. If you can you could also use \odin spells, blazing (flaming?) strikes spell in particular..
Finally!!! The interesting Skyrim build on youtube!!! Not those craps from other channels...
I enjoyed every second of it!
Thank you! I am quite sure some other good builds exist on YT.
Nice! I have a Sneak/Destruction build. She is an Argonian Theif/Fire Mage. Sneak, Quiet Casting, Muffle, and Fire Destruction is a winning combo. When in town she'll rob everyone blind.
Now I want to play this. I love hybrid builds, but I don't think I have ever seen one like this. Good work!
Thank you! This one makes me proud indeed :)
What a great build! I love the way you made her a master in all three areas! Kudos!
I guess it's better to reply late than never. This is probably my best build yet, but the dark Rider and the mage hunter also make me quite proud. Check them out, if you're in the mood.
Will do!
Woah woah woah buddy... My brain can only take so many play-styles in one playthrough lol.
It's a pity there's only 3 main playstyles because I'd love to play as a farmer/mason/battlemage :)
I actually wanted to make a farmer/citizen build with like two woodcutters for melee and bow for hunting. Maybe using smithing and alchemy to make the wepons a bit more formidable.
I think I've seen a build like this somewhere. I will look into it.

This is pretty much the build I'm going to try to play, except, I'll be trying Shock instead of flame. Then again, I might go flame instead.
Flame is a tad better for the aspect of terror combo. But do as you like. Shock is my fav when it comes to looks and colors.
ive kept forgetting to ask lol do you know of/ how do you feel about the artificer - artifacts of skyrim mod? personally i absolutely love it and of course here i am once more still addicted to these marvelous creations of yours :)
To be honest, I have not tried it yet. There is just too many of them :) Just released another "marvelous creation". Hope you will like it.
i'd recommend it good sir

I think I would prefer using paralysis for the second slot anyway.

I always try to send Ulfric that way if I can.

I swapped the ebony blade in favor of a daedric great sword enchanted with fire damage and fiery soul trap.
Sounds good, frankly might be better. Not sure how important the health absorbtion is in this build. I made it quite a long time ago.
Doesn’t using a 2 handed sword make it so enemies immediately spot u when you swing it
early game reccomendations?
Well, I am not sure, it's been a while since I did this one. You have a decent chance to find/buy a sword with Absorb Health from level 6 up, IIRC.

I thought the Ebony Blade worked with the One-Handed tree?
That was ages ago, before the patch 1.9.
The ebony blade is granted to the dragon born by Mephala, the prince of lies and betrayal, not boethia
Did I make a mistake there? I always get some detail wrong. Urrgh.
BeliSaurus Gaming it’s okay I’ve seen lots of builds videos and your always my fav

It's a good accent! Especially for medieval RPG voice acting.
