    mason, this build has given me one of the most unique play throughs to date. Now I can't make a build without using shouts as a main part of the build. Between this and your sorcerer build I have to add magic to every build I do now Lol. I also rarely make a character other than a vampire now. Lol. Thanks for a fantastic build and giving me my own ideas on builds of my own.

    I have two questions:

    1) What should the Magic/Health/Stamina proportions be?

    2) Will ditching some perks in Agile Defender in order to be able to smith better armor result in a weaker build?

    3) Could this be played with Heavy Armor?

    Thanks in advance.

    That's three questions...

    A 1/2/1 should work...

    Armor rating is just numbers, the closer you get to 567 the better protection you have, it up to you how you get there...

    It could, heavy armor is just going to slow you down for alot of the playthrough though. The idea was always to be quick through slow time/ethereal, getting slowed down in a thick suit of orcish is better reserved for other characters...

    Lol, yeah, I forgot to change it to 3 when I thought of another one. Thanks a lot for your reply in both threads!

    This is an incredible build. I would have never thought to use those shouts in that way. Greatest vampire build I've seen. I was wondering what points to put into health, magical and stamina? Would the focus be like H2/M2/S1? Also since she would want revenge on the Volkihar, couldn't you cure your vampirism so you can join the dawnguard then get infected again? I think it would work well in terms of roleplay, since you would go and kill the ones responsible for your curse. That's just my thoughts on it.

    Thanks Marth, stat placement is a 1/2/1 (updated build), this character was written before Dawnguard so the RP is a little off these days, how you choose to make it work is up to you!

    It was about time for me to reply on this page. This build is by far my most favorite of this site. I love all things manipulating time and this really is creative. Though still I find myself a bit too overpowered as I seem to be the only one who hit another in a battle the 'mini-game' of Catch The Arrow is a nice add-on during normal battles. :) +1 from me. Wish I could give you more than that.
