    Thanks for your support! I'm actually considering positing my first build idea soon (after I've played my Spellguard til I'm silly). I'm going to try to fight the Ebony Warrior later. Should be easy as long as I keep him at a distance where his shield is unequipped (it's enchanted with fire resistance).

    but actually Ithougt about using Illusion instead of Destruction, but without Invisibility, Rage spells for Attack and Fear and Calm Spells for More defensive Capabilities...

    That is an interesting version. However, if you're adding illusion, I even further recommend destruction because of the fear tag assigned to all fire spells. If you go and get both ranks of augmented flames, then intense flames, and finally the fear perk from the illusion tree, the fear perk adds 15 extra damage to all fire spells. If you take it before intense flames, it only adds 10. I personally didn't include illusion with this build because it makes it a lot easier to kill everything, and 50 levels of a minor skill for one perk just didnt sound right to include. However, to each their own! Feel free to experiment! Also, I really appreciate your comment and ideas!

    Vileo, what about a Bonemold shield and armor set for those of us adventuring in Solstheim and wanting to stick to the theme? 

    Maybe:

    Cultist Robes

    Cultist Mask

    Bonemold Shield

    Bonemold Gauntlets

    Bonemolds Boots

    I just love Illusion, as I have problems using Destruction magic in a proper way...

    maybe I´ll add destruction later as a minor skill... I dont thik it gets too easy if I replace Illusion with Destruction

    I´ll try my version and give you a feedback

    That sounds like a great idea! I'm personally thinking about making an extension of the armor previews linking to maybe like a personal blog post or something. That way I can add, update, and change stuff around. I love exploring unconventional armor combinations. If you're on the pc, feel free to post a picture of your bone mold version!

    Sounds like a plan! And I mean adding illusion with destruction would make it too easy. As simple as fear spell, kill the survivors in a crucible of fire. Can't wait to hear your feedback!

    Sadly I'm not :( 

    As we speak though I'm burning through my "messy saves" the ones will like all locations explored, looking for robes and armor. 

    I was gonna say Glass boots/gloves, and the telvanni priest robes/hood. but that's light armor.

    I'll continue to find cool armor match-ups for you, think my next idea is heavy stahlrim.

    Well now, I was considering some light armor variants, though that's completely different, and you might as well just be wearing full robes and using the Mage armor perks.
