  Yeah but I've never liked the Wabbajack because of the random effect but maybe I could try it !

  I like the build. The perkspread could use some work. I could make one for you. Just provide me a hi res image you'd like to use. Try to ensure the image fits the build's overall theme.

  Nicely done, it's always good to see newer builders showing up with quality builds. I only have a couple of things I'd like to add in addition to what has already been said. Why the Steel Boots/Gauntlets instead of the Ancient Nord ones? I was actually playing around with the idea of making a build based on the Dragon Cult Ghosts found in Forelhost because I thought it'd be cool to go with the Mage Hood + Ancient Nord combo with a Dragon Priest Dagger for backup, and I was slightly disappointed when I saw this build almost use the same combo but didn't. Secondly, why is joining the Companions considered an option? Is it for the master Heavy Armor trainer?

  Thanks ! And I had areal hard time finding a fitting background image. I had one but it had too much different colors and it was impossible to write. But thanks for the suggestion !

  Not Bad! I like it. Stave usage in Skyrim could have been more emphasized by the programmers. Especially the HUGE disappointment of staff enchanting!

  Getting through some areas of the game especially at higher levels with foes who are resistant to magic with staves, I can imagine can be difficult. For such cases, you can summon. How would they fair? I wonder. . Well based on who is summoned against what that is.

  Very good pictures by the way.

  Thanks Albino ! First off, I chose Steel Boots and Gauntlets because I don't like the Ancient Nordic Gauntlets/Boots all too much, visually speaking. The Steel Gauntlets and Boots were pretty much the only Boots and Gauntlets I found that matched with the Ancient Nordic Armor. And to answer your second question, yes I did join the Companions for the Heavy Armor trainer ! I'll go write that, I should've done it earlier. Another reason I joined them is to have stuff to do ! In this play through, I joined them and the end of game, when I had done most major quests and side quests, just to be entertained. Anyways thanks again and that build idea of yours is pretty original !

  Thanks a bunch and I agree with you that staff enchanting has been a disappointment. Also, I'm not sure I understand your question. If you're wondering how staves fair later in the game, I didn't have any trouble against magic-resistant enemies. I just used the Magical Dominance move I described in th Tactics section. It made pretty quick work of them. Thanks again !

  So your special move Magic Dominance even works on Giants and Dwarven constructs too? Huh. I've got to try this out sometime.

  My question was, On higher levels, Can summons conjured up through the staves hold their own against these foes resistant to magic? Apologizes for not being clear enough. 

  Thanks again. Looking forward to seeing your next build!
