    Ahhh sadly a DLC I do not own, but I like the runes more and more, especially the center "exploit". Another reason I want this site to survive: I need another year to play more builds.

    The only thing I don't get: Why is this called a Cabalist?

    I remember you talking about this build a bit on my Count, I am glad to finally see it. The synergy between the different runes an summons, As I saw this build I was thinking "Good Lord Henson, don't you have a job? Or school? Or a life?", but with putting out so many great builds like this you need none of those .

    This build is epic man! I love the synergy between runes and summons, especially the Undead/Posion Rune combo. Those are some of my favourite spells from Dawnguard/Dragonborn. I might try a condensed version, to me several of the perks seem pretty much useless. what was Adept Destruction/Expert Illusion for? +1

    Got to say, I love runes, so this build will be perfect (since the rune master was destroyed)

    I have seen people claim they are mages, but no,

    THIS is wat a real mage should be 

    Not flinging fireballs like a archer uses his bow (how boringly alike), but very expensive (so not spamable), yet very effective spells to rule! (In a other way than the other classes, YES!)

    EDIT: mage is a term that reflect magic users... Stil, this guy rulez m all.

    Btw, wat happens to the range of the rune hammer? Sounds like that would be epic to  If there was only a way (or more hammers) to get all elemental runes that way... I would make an summoning juggernout using those weapons to maximum effect!

    PS: why adept destruction? I like my aprentice bolts for dragons... So..?

    PSS: I think I missed the stat distribution...

    Can I just add that the aesthetic you've achieved for this build is absolutely amazing. Among the best I've seen. And I usually hate Master robes! But man do they look bitchin with that helm and those gloves/boots. Good shit, Henson!

    Oh god yes! This build is fantastic. I'm working on it now but I had to change a few things to fit my style of play. But never the less good build Henson. +1 from me.

    Of course this would be one of your builds Henson! Lol, I was trying to make a pure summoning build but he was just a tad to squishy and added runes as a part of my arsenal to add a means of secondary damage and it has made it so much fun! 

    But one question, why didn't you take augmented flames/frost/shock perks? Wouldn't they give you a more powerful rune?

    If there is one thing I enjoy, it is a good mage build. I love your pairings of runes and conjuration, it makes for and interesting concept that I look forward to trying +1.
