Lol sorry Ponts, been busy. There are some really good two handed weapons, so the Nord you're using or the Mabrigash would work (I saw someone on Youtube recommend this). My vote is for either of the builds you mentioned in the video (don't worry there are some good light sets as well, if you want to run light on the spellsword).
I've been hearing alot of that there's good 2-handers in the DLC. I'm thinking I'll probably go with the Nord idea and drop Archery/Sneak for Destruction/Restoration. A bit like my Mabrigash I guess.
Quick question, are the new light armors better than dragonscale, and what side of the Smithing tree would I need to go?
Stahlrim was in the trailer so I was kinda expecting it. Thanks Gustaf!
@Ben to be honest I don't really mind Steel Plate being on the light side, since if you're only going up to Steel Plate you get Elven along the way. You've got an armor set of pretty much equivalent quality to the same number of perks spent on the other side (up to orcish) and your weapons are a tier better.
Alright so judging by what I've gotten here and on youtube, I'm looking at something like this:

Just go with skyforge/stormcloak officer gear until I get ebony smithing and find some stahlrim gear, I can always just use smithing potions if I want.
Like I said in the video I'll give some purchased resto potions a go for the whole shout cooldowns thing.
Hmm, my internet gets reconnected on the 19th hopefully (just moved house), so I will not be able to watch your lets play untill then (or indeed download dragonborn for myself).
But I will commit to watching this and giving you some feedback when I can view it, I love lets plays :)
Ben is this new in Dragonborn or something? Because that sure ain't in Vanilla.
All I can think is maybe there's a mistake here and you mean wasting a perk in Elven Smithing to get Advanced Armors. I'm having a hard time conceiving of any reason why armor skills and smithing would suddenly be linked together, but who knows with kooky sleep-deprived game developers.
