This is a masterpiece... im starting this build right now, im just trying to think a little bit more about the past of my character, his story, and stuff.

I started this build yesterday, and im trying to figure out how it ll be in later levels withuot dual cast and the low destruction damage skyrim has, i allways play in legendary, so i think i ll just go ahead and use undead minions to do the dmg for me because im pretty sure destruction damage ll be almost nothing in lvl 50+.

I'm glad you like it! And yeah, I don't play in Legendary. Another way to look at it is you're giving up a superior offense for a superior defense. They real key to this build is timing your shield bashes just right to interrupt blows from baddies. This is more of an up-close-and-personal mage than anything.

Lol thanks. But I mean, you even helped me on it a bit. xD

Yeah, it wasn't terribly in-depth, but you gave me some good pointers. I appreciate the bump though as no one had really noticed it in a while.

I feel like my presentation can improve a lot. I'm a very artistic person, though I've neglected my 'shopping skills over the last decade. Wow, that makes me sound old. 

How would this build do without smithing? Would it still work out pretty good or will i die more often? Also +1

You really need the smithing to have any kind of defense, but if you're fine with being way squishier, it could be alright. You'd want to try to stay out of melee more often than not, though.

Alright cool. I was planning on swapping it for conjuration so when i run out of magicka, i can block and still make the enemy die from my atronachs.

This is a very cool build. For some reason I can't like it, but I will try that on a computer later. Love the looks, but like the Dragon or ebony armor look the best. +1 in spirit

Build restored.
