    Champion points don't come until you reach the veteran ranks, so no need to worry about those yet. It looks like you are definitely on the right track. As far as Mundus stones go, either one of those or even the Lady would be a pretty good choice. I suggest the Lady early on because it is accessible and you might like it until you get a feel for your armor. Which btw, the 5/2 heavy/medium sounds perfect for this game. You might even be able to get away with 5/1/1 if you feel you need a little extra boost in magicka. Not to mention you will be able to nab the Undaunted passive Undaunted Mettle which is always a plus. Looking back at Panthera's build he ran 1/3/2 for magicka/health/stamina and although this is a different game I would definitely try that out. If you don't like or feel you need more of one stat you can always just lean one way or another. And if you really don't like it then just head to Elden Root and respec your attribute points.

    So, two days in -- I'm level 10 now, and already I'm feeling the need to respec a little bit:  mostly in not morphing Puncturing Strikes to Puncturing Sweep (really, the only thing I want from the Aedric Spear line is Sun Shield -- quite possibly morphed into Blazing Shield -- and the Balanced Warrior passive.

    The main thing, though, is Bow -- I've not used the bow very much, but I'm not very fond of it right off.  The kicker is, I don't even really need it, because I have access to something which I believe fits just as well -- Silver Bolts (thank you, Fighter's Guild),  Right now, I'm running Solar Flare on X, Puncturing Strikes on Y, and Healing Ritual (Ritual of Rebirth) on B.  My LB is Puncture, and RB is Silver Bolts.  My Ultimate:  Nova (which I still need to get the hang of, but I haven't made much use of it).

    Now, why Silver Bolts?  Honestly, when I did my Lion playthrough on Skyrim (which I admittedly never completed), I almost never ran bow; hell, the only use Auriel's Bow ever got was the end boss fight with Harkon, and even then I didn't really like using it very much.  Instead, I ran crossbow, and was much happier with the choice overall.

    So, if I do respec, I'm pondering which line to pursue in lieu of Bow.  Part of me is admittedly considering Two-Handed, but I haven't decided yet.

    I think you'll get a lot more use out of your bow once you unlock your second skill bar at level 15. This means you can have a powerful ranged setup on your second bar with your bow and focus your original bar on melee. I think you'll find (especially in dungeons and PvP) that melee isn't always the best place to be!

    It's up to you but I'd recommend sticking it out until level 20 or so before you respec (that's about when you'll reach the town where you can respec anyway).

    Here's one last piece of information I wish to know for my ESO build:

    Will the crusher enchantment (reduces targets armor by x amount for 5 seconds) stack with major fracture and major breach?

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and say yes. I haven't actually tested this in particular but another mechanic I tested on my sorcerer with a major, minor and separate buff all stacked. If I'm wrong someone please correct me lol

    Fair enough.  As it is, I've only got two Bow skills that I actually like (at least by their descriptions) planned:  Volley (Scorched Earth)  and Snipe (Focused Aim).  Probably keep at least Healing Ritual (Ritual of Rebirth) on the second bar as well, and possibly Sun Shield (Blazing Shield) too, just to be on the safe side.  I'll see how it goes.

    A question, though:  what's the quickest way to level up?  I feel like leveling is so slow and tedious, but that could just be the fact that I'm used to quick leveling in Skyrim.

    Tae recently posted a video on how to power level straight to veteran rank. Its worth a look. Quests equal to or just above your level tend to yield a lot of EXP, both from the enemies fought along the way and the quest reward itself. 

    Group dungeons are another good source of EXP. Teccam found a particularly good dungeon called Tempest Island that gives fantastic EXP. Elysium gets about a level an a half per run in her mid 30s with the dungeon scaled to her level.

    The more I think about it the more I agree. The only thing I can think of that wont stack are two buffs/debuffs of the same name (ie major berserk wont stack with another major berserk)

    This is good news for me. I found a really nice bow with an armor reducing enchantment.

    Where is this video, perchance?  I'd love to take a look-see at it ASAP.
