    Cool build. I can't take armor combos that use a Guard Helmet seriously though; they remind me too much of the quirky fellows. :P

    A couple of notes regarding your tags though. "Character Build Conjurer" is not a tag listed in the CB Archives, however, "Character Build Necromancer" is, along with "Character Build Bound Weapons" and "Character Build Summoner". Also, the race tag is listed as Race:Orsimer in the CB Archives, not Rank:Orc. I went ahead and made the changes for your convenience, but thought I should let you know for future reference.

    Well that sucks! I specifically didn't recommend any mods because I wanted this build to be accessible to console players :( Sorry I had no idea.

    I guess you can swap out the boots as Shy suggests. Or you could drop the perks that require a full light armor set, it won't hurt armor rating that much. The only real downside is that your stamina won't regenerate as fast.

    Really great and it is so awesome to have the LB videos to accompany this build as well. I have been using enchanting in a similar way on my new character ... It doesn't even feel like a "crafting" skill anymore through the basic adventuring and looting I will do anyway for others things.

    Definitely a powerhouse and I look forward to seeing it smashy smash.

    It really is a shame that Bethesda made Enchanting such a grind. It's so versatile and collecting souls is fun!

    I'm seriously considering modding the skill increase speed for all of the slow-levelling skills, especially since I'm doing all these LBs. It would be nice to be able to level up faster so I can get the builds out faster...so many builds, so little time.

    I actually really enjoy the Enchanting process, but then again I don't really grind it either... explore, collect, and enchant when I run across a table in a dungeon somewhere. I haven't played an Orc in the three years I've had this game, but this might be the one that changes that... such a cool backstory in the introduction :D

    The only issue for me is how much the progression slows as you get high up in the skill. The whole enchanting process is OK but when you need to enchant like 10 things to get from 90 to 91 it's a bit annoying.

    Thanks! Glad you liked the story, and I'd be honored if this is the build that gets you to play an Orc!

    The easiest way to level Enchanting, other than abusing Azura's Star and recharging a Soul Trap weapon, is enchanting staves with Neloth (a questline I don't doubt the Purge would do).

    Anyway, I kinda agree with Albino that the guard helm makes me think of bad Austrian accents and sweetrolls, but the overall aesthetics are very nice and the background is probably the most interesting I've seen in a while.

    Glad you liked the background Elysium and thanks for the tip on levelling Enchanting.

    LOL hey the helmet needs some love :)
