Fr, like to be fair I was able to run the whole werewolf peek tree in just one transformation but the strength you get from that and the perks that come with it are WAYY more deserving than the dogshit category
That was my first build back in 2011. I only got to about level 40ish but I still remember it being some of the most fun I've had with Skyrim. Nord with steel armor and a skyforge battle axe. 10/10
I wasnt even trying to do a build on my first try. My brain just went "oh hey! This does a lot of damage! Oh hey! This armor protects me more than my other armor!"
Two of my favorite builds were an Orc, Warhammer wielding warlord essentially lol. I remember painstakingly gathering the right resources to upgrade my orcish armor and dawnguard helmet and eventually I just decided to start smacking whiterun guards around and see how long I could hold out. The sight of a helmeted striker amongst piles of dead city guards was very cool lol. The other was more thought out. I made a high elf knight character, basically orphaned from the dominion with no initial magic use. Using a greatsword and steel armor and starting as a noble defender. But eventually he contracts the vampire virus and his mind and morals start to erode into a villain.
@@giuseppedicarlo1659on my first playthrough ever on skyrim I ran a conjuration/theif/assassin/vampire lord/Werewolf/Archer/Stealth/ build where basically I would sneak around using the bound arrow ad a stealth archer. But then pop open the dremora lords whenever I got caught. It was pretty brain dead ngl
Everyone talkin' shit until they get arrested and get all their weapons and armor taken away and the mage is standing there, casts dragon skin, muffle and invisibility, then sneaks out and if they get caught anyway, they start fucking up the guards with lightning bolts
Am playing a Breton vampire lord mage hoarding tons of loot for making the ultimate set of equipment and am loving it. Getting hit by fire during the day even as a Breton with a ton of perks in alteration is pretty much a game over
ngl my 1st experience i do paladin build, then next time i do archer assassin build 😂 its broken but pretty boring ngl it's like a chores when high lvl mob arrived
I am now no longer a pure mage, I found an Ebony sword and I really like how it looks so I am using it along with bound sword, still mostly using magic though
@@Reinfall. wow u guys luv magic dat much huh, i never use any magic build.. what makes it dat gud tho? in legendary difficulty magic dmg r so low compare to dual wield 1-h sword (+enhanced it can reached 500 dmg point)
what variety? its skyrim magic. you got 3 different flavors of shit in destruction. lack luster healing and useless poison and anti undead magic in restoration. armor spells and then a bunch of useless shit in alteration. useless beyond the midgame illusion spells. and then a variety of flavor for summoned creatures, weapons. and then useless necromancy because after midgame everythings to high level. and even then. your magicka to damage ratio is utter trash without exploits
Some of y’all don’t mage right and some of y’all deff know what’s up utilizes all the magic not just destruction and conjuration. Legendary runs are the best it makes you use enchantment and alchemy otherwise yes you are going to die a lot the point of hard mode in most games aren’t just for difficulty purposes it’s also because you understand the mechanics of the game and when/how to use them. That’s why everyone should skip easy mode that’s just to learn the map basically start on normal or hard you can learn the map as you go while also figuring out how the potions and whatever else buffs you along the way. ❤❤❤
some of us like to not do the alchemy and enchanting exploits. so while both those with just intended levels of improvement are useful it still doesnt help mage as much as smithing helps everything else. as for the spells outside healing, the three damage types, and armor spells the rest are negligible in use. and conjuration is busted while necromancy is lackluster. skyrim took magic and saw how powerful and actually versatile it was in the previous games and completely gutted it for Skyrim's puddle depth when it comes to actual mechanics. @@maddragon8738
For how expensive spells are you really shot yourself in the foot for no reason. Wizards wouldn’t see a sword worth 1200 gold and just be like “weapons are for bitches”. I see that and go “ooh new spells or I can work on enchantments”
One hand sword + empty hand is underrated and versatile. Quicky switch spells, staffs, weapons, etc, and have a weapon at all times. Not to mention, it gives off main character vibes like no other build.
@AQS521 I played this modlist with over 1100 mods on it, and god damn it was one of the most fun times I've ever had playing as a mage in skyrim, the list had an expanded and reworked skill tree for EVERY tree, like literally hundreds of new skills and mage abilities, good time.
Summoner warrior was just so much fun "Oh what's that? I'm going to have to leave all my weapons behind so I can sneak into this party? That's fine, I'll just magically generate my own weapons"
That's my favorite way to play. Summon a flame thrall and frost thrall that constantly heal themselves and never time out (well, they will after almost 5 real-time years...) with a follower as well. I don't even need to fight, only watch.
One of my favorite memories in gaming is figuring out how to make armor and weapons with stats beyond the normal maximum using a combination/cycle of alchemy enchanting and smithing. No walkthroughs, no word of mouth, just me.
I feel called out, because every build I ever ran ultimately ended up being Summoner Warrior Craftsman Stealth Archer. Because the best armor you can get is your own, the best magic you can use is Conjuration, the best conjured weapon is the bow, and the best way to use any bow... is from stealth.
Rn I’m playing an orc on survival. Plan on getting my farm going and being pretty much self sufficient. Simple 2h warrior with all crafting and no magic. Feels nice that my favorite list is just vegetable soup and healing potions. Oh yea lots of OP mounted combat also
This is literally my fav. Way to build I’m a very patient game player so I’m always about crafting my own gear!! I also ( because of lore/a book I read ) use enchantment on my pure warrior build because enchantment is kinda a part of smithing it’s makes you a master smithy ( technically because like I said book in Skyrim ) and I love it.❤❤❤ side note I have made many runs without enchantment so if that’s not your thing I totally get it as well!!
@@redcell9636my first playthrough was pure mage and it was fun. Like why not do something you can't in real life. Sure, you can't cut npcs in real life but you can indeed swing swords and shoot arrows. But magic ? That's not happening irl

@@user-pb2nb5nk6sYou don't have to spec into Stamina or Magicka if you use the 3 best skill lines in the game, Alchemy Smithing and Enchanting makes legendary a cake walk. I'm not even talking about exploits either unless you consider 100% cast reduction one despite it being a staple since Morrowind, meaning you can put all your attributes to health and not worry about the other resources.
Any one-handed weapon and a shield is honestly just way too much fun- getting into the rhythm of shield bashing is great, and genuinely makes combat feel a lot more dynamic.
The mages in Skyrim didn't really have anything culture left because of years of neglect. It makes sense why it was like that. People literally sneer at you if you ask where to learn magic. I like what they did with magic. Besides, there are some amazing spells in Anniversary Edition, especially for conjuration and destruction
Sword and board, necromancy and stealthy assassin builds are my favorite. Recently I did a necromancy build and it’s so fun killing an enemy and then making them kill all their friends
I just hate dual wield, at least on legendary, because you just become “tank hits, power attack”, unfortunately without mods you have no way of dodging attacks cause of the crazy aimbot, so you have to bait forward power attacks for the whole fight. At least having block means you can engage with the stagger system
Dual Wielding is my go-to melee fighting style. Especially Dual Wielding Blades enchanted with Drain Health and Drain Stamina. A tank with unlimited power attacks. So much fun!
@@danieldavis8607 if skyrim was a standalone game i would agree, but because it was part of the TES series it was really not all that great and kind of disapointing. you can't tell me you wouldn't prefere skyrim with custom made magic and twice the weapons it had...^^ heck where are my spears i am supposed to kill a dragon here!?

@@nickchivers9029 The best is when you have multiple random ass armors from different sets that happen to look great together.

I just hate dual wield, at least on legendary, because you just become “tank hits, power attack”, unfortunately without mods you have no way of dodging attacks cause of the crazy aimbot, so you have to bait forward power attacks for the whole fight. At least having block means you can engage with the stagger system
I’m in love with hand to hand combat
Mage can also be good, i like playing as a mage as a dark elf, you can also become a mage warrior by enchanting armor like probably heavy armor.
Dual Wielding is my go-to melee fighting style. Especially Dual Wielding Blades enchanted with Drain Health and Drain Stamina. A tank with unlimited power attacks. So much fun!
Not bad)

Hey, what about duel wielding wooden swords?
Dude, you drown your enemies in bodies with the right necromancer build. Getting stuck in doorways with your undead army is the real problem though.
dude being a pure mage in morrowind was so much fun, unlike in skyrim...
It's still fun. Just need to play it differently since you can't make the spells anymore.
@@danieldavis8607 if skyrim was a standalone game i would agree, but because it was part of the TES series it was really not all that great and kind of disapointing.
you can't tell me you wouldn't prefere skyrim with custom made magic and twice the weapons it had...^^
heck where are my spears i am supposed to kill a dragon here!?
@@bidenonabender5903 I agree. Morrowind is still my favorite game of all time. I will honestly say that I am worried about TES VI after how Starfield turned out.
Yall clearly don’t mod if you’re calling pure mage “dogshit”
