    Armor of the Old Gods is perfect for this. The enchantments fit right, it's light, and not to covering for your sexy dark elf archer.

    Hehe! You're not wrong, but the regular forsworn gear can all be self enchanted making it the better choice overall...

    Saviour's Hide rocks for this toon...

    She doesn't clash badly with any of the factions to be honest, I noted this in the introduction.

    The hardest thing I'm finding with this build is finding armour and weapons that fit nicely with the enchants and obviously the aesthetics. But honestly that's just me nitpicking. I'm going to run both builds at some point. Chaos Ranger at the moment though, something appealing about all those elemental arrows.

    Mistic Binding is unlucked for the Nightstalker, so you use bound bow? Aaaand... you detailed the bows but the other equipments?

    Yes to the bound bow...

    Gear enchantments are players choice really and I didn't feel the need to add them to the build. It's a glass cannon so the main focus is on weaponry.

    You have reason. I suggest one thing: Do not enchant armor to have 100% spell reduction. It kills the game

    Mason I'm curious. What aesthetic did you use when you ran this build?
  • December 16, 2013

    I used full elven armor on my playthrough with the original chaos ranger, did a bit of glass to.

    When I did the nightstalker I was going through my first Dawnguard playthrough and used ancient vampire armor and a forsworn helmet I think, looked good at the time on a female toon.

    I've run skimpy fur armor with this class though for a bit of fun, it's all about the weapon really...

    Hmm... so I decided to give this a try and I'm already level 11 only be creating potions, enchants, leveling a bit of conjuring to be able to cast the bow and of course the speech skill.

    Is it normal that I'm leveling... well way too fast? I'm afraid I'm going to run into problems later on!
