    As little weight as my opinion carries here, I like the Recovery Stack he's got here, especially as a break from all the Feuer Frei builds out there that Enchant Magicka away entirely.  Lacks subtlety, perhaps, but as it rolls right along his theme with the Apprentice Stone, I think that's the best part.  At least he didn't suggest using the Out of Balance glitch to spam train up his magickal skills.

    This should so be Cat 80. Wish I could like again!

    Well, thanks to both of you guys. I'm seriously considering an update for this over the summer, but I'm not going to start working on it until I'm sure I can bring something new to the concept.

    Honestly dude I don't think it needs much changing. It's basically the first (only?) build that utilises magicka regen which is such a superior way to play a mage, for me at least. The only things I changed when I played it was picking up enchanting so I didn't have to hunt around for the ring and I enchanted regen onto either a circlet or a fine hat. That's only because I think DP masks are fugly =P Also, I haven't checked this for myself yet, but apparently the Dunmer shoes can be enchanted with effects usually only allowed on chest pieces, which allows for even more regen!

    I agree with Aevar everything. You could include optional pathways which includes enchanting as an option and ring of erudite as an option as well.

    If this info about Dunmer shoes is working, it would be awesome!

    Just gave this build its 80th like. Good job man!
  • June 6, 2013

    Thanks Samjt. It should have had its 80th like last week, but someone took their like away on it. Doesn't matter now though because I have my first Cat. 80 build. Thanks to everyone for their support and I hope this will be the first of many

    Well, shit! Either that was me somehow who accidentally deleted my like, or I somehow even more criminally didn't like it to begin with, but my like is certainly there now. This build is the shit. I hope your Witch Hunter follows suit next; it's one of my favorites on the whole site. About to start my own with a pretty badass masked Witch Hunter look I came up with: Zahkriisos, Redguard Clothes, and Dawnguard Gauntlets/Boots. Anyway... first of many, friend!
