    "I used to be like you getting upset about every little thing" yeah, you totally didn't say anything... Totally. If you think I'm trying to start an argument with you, I'm not. I'm just sick of everybody assuming they know me or assuming I hate everything just by hearing me complain about a few things.

    you know that you must have the sigil stone to create daedric armor in the Atronach forge

    There is a recipe to change ebony armor into daedric, you don't need the sigil stone

    yes you do, but you can also get the armor from revered or legendary dragons at lvls 45-49. I'll add some additional notes if this information is absolutely necessary.

    Hey awesome looking build. I am curious though; why did you take 5/5 shield wall and Shield Charge? These perks require a shield to be used. They have absolutely no effect with two-handed weapons. I didn't see a swap for a shield so it sparked my curiosity.

    Block Runner does work with a two-handed however, but you'd have to invest into more worthless (for a two-hander) perks.

    Not my cup of tea, but it looks great, so +1 anyways!

    The Dragoon legendary build inspired this one slightly. When I tested my build out, I confirmed the author was correct and shield charge does work with two handed weapons. might be a glitch but an awesome glitch.As for shield wall. 40% increase of block, with the block enchantments on items you get another 40% which leads to the block cap of 80%. More survivability overall when getting close to armor cap with daedric armor.

    Interesting...in all my research (http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Block) this seems not to be the case; Shield Wall does not increase block chance unless a shield is equipped. Likewise, Shield Charge doesn't work unless a shield is equipped. 

    Additionally, "Block Enchantments" ONLY effect Shields, not blocking with a weapon. Basically the rule of thumb is if it says "Shield" it requires a "Shield" to work. 

    However, if what you say is true and there is a glitch (in regards to Shield Charge), I may need to add it to my own two-handed builds. In fact, UESP does say there is a bug to this effect. So you're right there! Proof

    I will definitely have to test this myself. In any case, this may be my biggest gripe with Skyrim - between tooltips and documentation - nothing is as it seems lol!
