The Character Build Showcase: The Bloodskal

  • Hi everyone, and welcome back to the Character Build Showcase!

    This week, Ponty has chosen The Bloodskal by Skalvar for us all to take a look at. This is what Ponty had to say about the build:

    Skalvar has produced an excellent and(in my opinion) underrated build centered around one of the more interesting weapons from the Dragonborn DLC, the Bloodskal Blade. The Bloodskal is the perfect build for making full use of the weapon, as well as some of the new armor and shouts. Using a Barbarian skillset with some support from the Illusion school, the Bloodskal looks like a blast to play with its unique playstyle and strong RP elements.

    Personally, I think Skalvar has made another great build, mixing a detailed back story, with effective game play mechanics, making this build a great fit for power players and role players. The mix of great presentation and in depth descriptions make this build a pleasure to read.

    Here is a short section of the build, but I urge all of you to go and read the whole thing:

    When it came to recreating a member of an ancient Nordic clan, I immediately thought of a predator that stalks its prey.  A master hunter does not simply rush into the battlefield, but rather acts upon the right opportunity to deliver the first strike.  Invisibility is a crucial part of this build as it allows instant guarantee of a sneak attack when accompanied with the Silence and Muffled Movement perk.  When casting Invisibility and running off for a little bit, the hostile NPC will still search for you but can be susceptible to the Sneak Attack multiplier if the attack is timed correctly.

    Thank you to Ponty for finding another great build to bring into the spotlight!

    I've been trying to find this build, I didn't realise it was one of skalvar's. Damn... Anybody know a way I can see the build? Thanks to Matt for already posting the perk spread though.
