    Crown + marokei?  I thought they both used the face slot... You can wear either with falmer,pentalus oculates helmets or the jagged crown do since they are uniqeu in only using the "hair" slot... does rule out the archmage robes if im not mistaken

     

    Anyways, remembering my first build here, killed dragens like no other (stunlock ftw ), but he died at every trap I walked in...

    Thanks for the info Spence, I'll test the crown with the mask when I revamp this build in the future.

    I love the idea behind this build, taking great power, but receiving great disadvantages as well. +1

    I once had a character who specialized in a regeneration like you did here, but she focused on stamina regeneration. Didn't have huge disadvantages like this one though, and the Apprentice developed into a great mage build. Usually I dismiss the Apprentice Stone as the second worst standing stone, but I think I may have to try this one out.

    Thanks Chris, it was fun taking on such a big weakness but still managing to make something that can be very powerful at higher levels. +1

    This is a really well constructed build, I'd have to be in the same boat as Ben C, I do not know how I missed this.

    I really like the fluid gameplay, no pretensions with how kick arse you are and how solidly your tactics work. Enjoyed the video too.  +1

    I think I put this out a long time before you even joined the blog TZ, but thanks for the kind words and glad you liked it.

    I do like this build but i am a bit confused about the Apprentice stone's weakness to magic. I mean if you get hit with a firebolt won't you take full damage from that anyway without taking the stone?

    The stone says that you are 100% weaker to magic. This basically means that any magic you are hit by will do double damage.
