New characters welcome!

Ill be on for about an hour doing the same thing if you wanna run thru a few. Send inv

I ain`t got a mic either but am getting Borderlands 2 over the next day or so and will be a new character. Welcome to add me

Gmaerscore was reset due to cheating. Nice ; ) Just out of curiosity though, you didn't happen to be a high caliber... Call of Duty 4 player, did you? I might be totally wrong but I thought I recognised you so it's worth the question.

.

Just with your Perks, however, why do you have Arcane Blacksmith? If you're relying entirely on making your own armour and enchantments, you can smith them to your desired strength before you enchant them. Not a major issue or anything, but it is a Perk
you don't need.

.

"For my sword, I will use Fiery Soul Trap and Absorb Stamina/Health (unsure). The soul trap ability is very useful in conjunction with Azura's star because you can continuously recharge your weapon for free".

.

I presume you know this but Fiery Soul Trap will cost almost nothing against the charge on that weapon since it's only the Soul Trap enchantment you vary, not the basic 10 Fire Damage. 1s Soul Trap + 10 Fire Damage only applies the cost of the 1s Soul Trap.
Your weapon will be able to charge whenever it wants, have 10 free damage and this enchantment won't count against total charges very much at all.

.

Also, putting all your points onto Health... I suspect that for a warrior character this is a bad idea (I do realise you intend you get 800 points out of this character), but that's all preference, of course. I think the massive armour rating you have, the
Magic resistance you have and even 500/800 extra points (600 Health, 400 Stamina) put on Health, you'll be pretty much untouchable. Obviously that is personal preference, however.

.

For a Mage, however, some points into Magicka will definitely give you a better(/more enjoyably) character. There is no way to enchant 0% Cost for all five schools of Magic on one set of clothing, so at least some points into Magicka will help give you flexibility,
unless you want to switch outfits every time you want to cast another type of spell.

.

What you should test out before you make a video, however, is whether you can roll 50% Cost Perks for [a given level] [a given school of Magic's spells] along with 2x 25% cost off equipment for a total of 0% cost. While heavily perk intensive, you could
work with a lot of efficiency here, with four Schools of magic totally free. At THAT point, you would be able to put all your points into Health, since you wouldn't need much for the School you chose to leave out, particularly not if you still invested in
-Cost Perks for that school.

________

.

Just as a final note, if you post your current theory as a video what you'll basically be doing is rehashing the very tired "Fortify Smithing to Own" trick with some extra information thrown in. Any horrible character can destroy with Smithing, but that
doesn't make them a perfect character.

.

Add some more information about which Perks are tempting but completely worthless (like what I've said here with Arcane Blacksmith) and which are undervalued compared to others. Which race is the best for different playstyles, and other in-depth stuff others
won't have thought much of or posted previously. Add a discussion as to why you want full Health/nothing else for different builds if you believe and can justify that. So on.

.

What you've said about 85% Magic Resistance is definitely a good thing to add, so nice work there.

Yep, I was reset back before NXE. And yeah again, I was well known for my gaming in both CoD2 and CoD4.

Yeah I agree with that. I meant to not include that but when I typed it up I clicked through the tree quickly.

Yeah, it's really great.

This is the one of things I intend to test. With the double enchantment you can get 0% cost for 2 schools and with the health benefits you certainly won't really need Restoration and Alteration. So from there I guess it is a choice between Destruction, Illusion,
and Conjuration. I know what I'm choosing!!! Another bit of testing will go towards how fast you can get your magika to regenerate with enchantments.

Yeah, another note about the testing will go towards perks. I will purchase all of the "needed" perks and level up to 81. From there, I'll save it and do several test purchases.

Thanks so much for your input. I'll be sure to do a lot more work before finalizing a guide.

[quote user="k0rruptiD"]

duel wielder here, 270 health 270 stamina, stamina is vital for power attacks and stunning, duel wield power attacks take lots of stamina.

[/quote]

Part of this theory is that with enchanting, you will be able to have stamina boosted high enough along with a fast enough regeneration to control all of power attacks that you will need. Also, don't forget that you can enchant both of your weapons with
absorb stamina to help this problem as well.

No one else has any advice, any suggestions, any thought at all?

Too busy cheating?

This thread dropped down to second page less than an hour after posting it so I figured that it was dead. Thanks again for your input.
