    What is your best recommended build for a kill everything run? Assassin-y, and not a glass cannon (just so i could survive when trying to kill things that hit like a truck, i.e. Giants or Dragons)?

    Again, the Kinglslayer fits into that category. 

    But I would also give Boro's Saxhleel Warrior a look; when I think of tanky assasins, that's what comes to my mind :D

    I love talking to you guys. So, what is your guy's favorite (if you have one) vampire build? I don't mean builds that have vampirism or use it, I mean builds that /are/ vampires and rely solely on that. Not like a vampiric warrior or assassin. Just a vampire, maybe a vampire lord build.

    My Fogotten Knight is based on Dracula and may fit what you're looking for.  However one of my favorite vamp builds is the Yekef by Vazgen.

    The Forgotten Knight and the Yekef are both fantastic vampire builds. In addition, you could also check out The Bonsamu, The Quarra Vampire, and the Quarra Scourge.

    I played (and really enjoyed) The Berne Clan, but the images are all broken for that build. Still... it might be worth checking out.

    Hello all,
    I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion on whether I should make a character focusing on Restoration, or Illusion for Ordinator for SSE?  Both look like a lot of fun, and the combination sounds like a lot of fun as well but I am concerned that they don't mesh well.  

    I should clarify, I would like to avoid a vampire build as I just finished a Sacrosanct playthrough.

    Vlad B's Warmaiden would fit the bill perfectly, it uses both skills while avoiding vampirism all together, and a support playstyle is always fun regardless.

    Or, if you want something darker and grittier, Feeney's Warmonger also fits (funny that both builds have focus on two non-combat skills, but both have war in their names)

    Well The Shao'kai from Noodles is my favorite. Be warned, it's an absolutely enormous build. The author admits up front, most people won't play it. lol But I think it's amazing. And I have started a playthrough of it.

    His Dreadscale is also quite fun, using the Aetherial crown and Shadow stone for invisibility on demand.

    Hey guys, I have a rough idea for a build, however I require some help. It will be posted in the Workshop soon, however I believe what I have isn't enough.

    After playing and finishing DOW: Soulstorm, I wanted to recreate a build based on the Wyches (see here for details). They (in game) sap Morale (Illusion Spells), while slowing down the speed of the target (Frost with Slow poisons?), while combining part of Esdeath into the build (maybe). Sort of an Cyromancer/Assassin, able to fight either large groups of enemies or single enemies. 

    Possibly using the Warp technique from Radiars White Walker? (If allowed). Skills that will be used are Conjuration, Destruction, Sneak, Illusion, Light Armor, Alchemy (?) and One Handed. Maybe Conjuration not need in using Warps?

    Summary:

    Inspiration: Wyches, Esdeath, Radiars White Walker (Warp idea)

    Idea: Cryomancer/Assassin

    Skills: Conjuration (Frost Atronach?), Sneak, Destruction, Illusion, Light Armor, Alchemy and One Handed.

    Any ideas if this could be a viable build? I haven't really seen any build like it, I have seen Cryomancers and Assassins but not the both combined.
