    From the mobile site? Yes, actually. Thanks for confirming that for everyone though.

    Thanks Rokdog! Archery just complements the crowd control options your Shouts provide for some more tactical versatility: thin the herd by picking foes apart in slow-mo from afar, apply CC effects like Frenzy poisons, etc. It can be utilized as much or little as you'd like! Spellcasters... Take them out from afar with bows, CC them with shouts, perk into resistance since you're heavily investing in Alteration already, stack crap with magic resist enchantments, etc. Tons of options and really up to you in the end when it comes to how to tackle them. As for healing, I feel there's only one option: potions. Even though Restoration fits a monk thematically, it interferes with the fisticuffs. I guess you could stack health regen gear too, but for me potions worked wonderfully. Especially since collecting flowers and butterflies felt super monk-like so I always had some expensive potions to sell lol. Thanks again for the praise, and I hope that helped!

    I am playing on Expert atm, and it's perfect. I don't have to punch someone 5000x before I finish him off with a sick wrestling move, but it's not that I can one-shot people. It's exactly like you said: "I can't stand having to strike enemies a million times to kill them".

    Anyway, thanks for the quick reply, appreciate it! Are you working on any other builds atm?

    Remember you've got unlimited shouts to abuse, if an enemy can even reach you it's very surprising.
    Defensively, you've got Dismay, Drain Vitality, Frost Breath (with the book), Ice Form, Marked For Death and of course, the ultimate shout in the "get the hell away from me filthy caster" uncatalogued, Unrelenting Force.

    And also, i tried the stacking glitch and it worked, but it doesnt seem to have increased my damage?

    If stacking different gauntlets with Fists of Steel doesn't do it then just stack rings with Fortify Unarmed. As for stat spread its very player-dependent but I would recommend mostly stamina. You won't be casting many spells and you won't be getting hit often, so might as well pump points into being able to zoom with your bow, power attack and sprint. 1/1/2 or 1/1/3 should do it.

    Ok thanks! I'll do the ring enchanting, i'll just power level it. It kept doing the same damage, which was annoying considering i wanted to punch faendal :

    Lol! Team Sven for life! Thanks for the praise, btw. No need to power level shit though; just use the base unperked enchantment since you can stack as many rings as you want.
