    Yet another build to fly under my radar (summer's been busier than my normal work year... grrr). This is a good one to find, though ;D

    Been fleshing out a character to play for the last week or so while I've been on the road, and have been debating whether to go traditional spellsword or archer/mage or pure mage. Traditional spellsword it is thanks to reading this build. Besides, it's been a LONG time since I've played a full-on spellsword. 

    Also, I love what you're doing with the cloak spells and how you turn a solid defense into a devastating offense... one that requires a little patience for it to do it's thing. Sweet!

    Again, great build! Glad I saw it... eventually xD

     Nice one! Spellsword classes are one of the most played in general but that also shows how cool they are. A style I personally enjoyed while playing a simillar class was dagger, spells and the wind fury shout this combo adds some more utility.

    Anyway this is a great presentation of the battle-mage / spellsword class, very nicely done!

    Thanks to all the beautiful people who commented and liked the build!

    I've just gone back and fixed that stupid font issue that was bugging me since the build was posted. This required me to clear the text formatting and re-format everything. Took the time to play with my formatting a bit while I was at it. Couple of minor formatting hiccups remain. Struggled to iron them out. Failed.

    Also re-tagged the build according to our shiny new rank system. I made Master Rank and you can bet I'm damn proud of this baby.

    Looks like you're officially the first build to be tagged as Master, so congrats! You should definitely be proud of this build.

    Stunning presentation, gorgeous pictures, and an easy to follow outline. It makes for an impressive build--and your first one, nonetheless! If you hadn't mentioned that at all, I probably would never have guessed. Personally, I love spellswords as well. I feel that they're the most adaptable class to any situation. So to see such a splendid character build on one of my favorite classes is quite pleasing for me. Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see more from you, soly :)

    I strongly recommend the Workshop. You get acquainted with the vagaries of the topic creator and editor, and get feedback on your build itself. What's not to like?
