The Freezer Burn ;)

It's interesting how you got a build to function on master with only two skill trees perked. While absolute minimalization isn't really a play style I'd try personally, I can respect the work done here for being unique in that regard.

Plus, doesn't J'zargo's Flame Cloak stack with the standard cloaks?

Great build another one to try for sure. Great discussion about fire storm and potential for increase if desire:   An Argument for 'Fire Storm' p2.  I wonder how Alternation - Stability will affect the build? On video the time is very short between when Become Eternal ends and next repeat is available. When adventuring I don’t always have Shrine of Talos close by, or I just forget to prey there.  Can Stability shout time increase might be life saver?! Or Dragon Aspect can help here too?!

My aim with this build was to go full-on minimalist, and use no exploits. But you can easily buy Fortify Alchemy gear and stack a few Fortify Restoration potions to push the Amulet of Talos to give you the same cooldown as the Amulet with the Blessing, then you don't have to worry about the blessing running out.

I know Stability affects Slow Time, does it work on Become Ethereal as well? What about Fortify Alteration potions? That's something I didn't think to test.

Thanks Curse :)

I'll take the challenge and with no exploits

Neither affect Become Ethereal. They only affect Slow Time since it's classed as an Alteration effect. As I side note, while I can never really bring myself to like minimal skill builds, I'll still give you a 'like'. Did you ever find combat got at all monotonous? Since it's basically just 'Flame Cloak + Become Ethereal + Wait for enemies to die' over and over. The lack of any kind of variation would bore me a bit. Were things still challenging?

Eventually, yes. However, getting to the point demonstrated in the video takes awhile, and during that development phase you need to carefully manage your magicka use and shout cooldown. The fact that you have only 100 health also keeps you on your toes!

I saw the gameplay on this build and was very impressed. Would be interesting to see if Requiem would allow this build. Did you use followers in the beginning?
