It's a very nice build, but I'm a little surprised he didn't mention the quest "Unfathomable Depths". There's an Argonian on the Riften docks babbling about a Dwemer lexicon she and her friends stole. Accept her quest to return it, and you'll go into a Dwemer ruin filled with traps and enemies. The reward is a permanent power called Ancient Knowledge. It gives you an automatic *25% Armor Bonus* when wearing Dwarven Armor, and makes Smithing level up *15% faster*. It's worth looking into.
Jamie Evans At the beginning of the video I was like "he'll probably mention this too" but when he didn't I was kinda sad because it fits the character build an even the story perfectly !
+subject sigma The dwemer are probably gods now as that was their goal the whole time and they all spontaneously disappeared when they completed their ritual they were doing to accomplish that goal. Although I don't know why nobody ever thought to try to use Dwemer technology for something. I mean the Dwemer were probably unstoppable in their day

Very nicely thought-out, but I would also recommend completing *the Riften 'Lexicon' quest* early, to gain the permanent active effect called "Ancient Knowledge". You will *permanently gain a 25% bonus when wearing dwarven armor*, which makes you even more durable and closer to the _armor cap_. In addition, "Ancient Knowledge" your *blacksmithing skills will also be increased 15% faster*. Which means you can smith better faster and obtain the 'Dwarven Smithing' and 'Arcane Blacksmith' (improve enchanted items) perks sooner.
I'm currently using the visage of mzund the ebony mail spellbreaker some ebony gauntlets with a wielding enchantment and ebony boots of muffling with an ebony mace of the inferno but I'm also using the dwarven black bow of fate n enhanced dwarven crossbow or Zephyr while sneaking I'll be switching the my mace up for a sword later n trade up ebony for Daedric but I'll be keeping the ebony mail sadly though I got the aetherial crown in case I wanna go Mage later on... Plus my character is a dark elf.
*ATTENTION EVERYONE, AN IMPORTANT PASSIVE POWER WAS NOT COVERED* (And if it was forgive my inattention) I'm referring to the Ancient Knowledge power which gives a 15% increase in smithing progression and most importantly an additional 25% increase in dwarven armor rating (whether that applies only to full sets or not I don't know). Go to the Riften docks and find a female argonian called From Deepest Fathoms. She'll send you do a quest in some dwarven dungeon. Complete the mission and you'll receive the power. If you don't find her you may have to level up some more before she spawns, at least level 14 Do upvote this comment if you think others should see it. No Stormcloaks tho
Yeah I was thinking that too. You can't have a true dwarven armor build without having Ancient Knowledge. This reduces your requirements in Smithing and Heavy Armor to hit the armor cap. It also makes Dwarven Armor a viable alternative to the "better" heavy armors available.
Rohnak Jeet as long as it counts toward the Complete set perk in the heavy armor tree as dwarven armor it should count in respect to the ancient knowledge effect.
I've been watching all your builds and I can't wait to try them all! You made playing Skyrim a bit more fun to play again! I also enjoy the backstory you give to these characters, very cool.
+ESO - Fallout & Elder Scrolls Guides hey may I make a suggestion for a build? Instead of a spell sword, what about a spell shield? A Mage that is a anti mage focusing on negating spell damage while casting spells himself.
I've platinumed and did everything possible on skyrim on my playthrough on ps3. And yet I'm still excited af to play this game 4 1/2 years later (I borrowed it off of a friend in April 2012). That's how you know a game is fucking amazing! So pumped!!!
"you shoul seek out the dwemer artifacts and hoard them in your home" these atrifacts are: keening the aetherial crown/ sheild/ staff spellbreaker volendrung dwarven black bow of fate visage of mzund zephyr and the spider control rod
The ghost girl who accompanies you through some of the dwemer dungeons has a dwemer bow called Zephyr. It's power is 30% faster shooting. Combined with the perk that does the same...
ESO did you know that if u carry the Aetherium shield around (u dont need it equiped just in your inventory) while youre exploring youll run into Katria's assistant that stole her work and published it for himself. He's a dark elf and he'll stop you on the road and notice that your shield is Aetherium. I found him on the trails north of Solitude that go out of the Dragon Bridge village.
Then its ok,but i recommend for higher difficulty his new build Vampire build,it sure one of my favourite,good choice for people,who wants more agressive warrior and do not like werewolf,but prefer Vampire lord
Black Birdy I agree werewolf is cool and all but my last character isn't werewolf nor vampire just pure mage, I don't like how you have to wait for werewolf to wear off, I like to change whenever lol
ESO you are by far the best content creator for all things elder scrolls and you put more detail and thought into your builds than anyone else in the world. from your lore videos which I've watched for hours at a time to the builds which i then use to go play Skyrim for another 300 hours. I cant wait for elder scrolls 6 and i hope to god you make the same type of videos you have for skyrim but on the continent hammerfell. Thank you for adding more life to this game then the entire creation club could you deserve a job at bethesda more than anyone that is currently working their, making at least a couple hundred thousand dollars a year without a doubt.
This build is so OP. I decided to face off against a Draugr Demigod, and it barely made a dent in Spellbreaker. Nice job, ESO. And the roleplay is just pure genius. I also find joining the College as soon as possible to be useful also. Makes leveling up Restoration that much easier, plus the Galdur Amulet Fragment you gain in quest 2.
I remember when I wanted to do a hardcore play through so I put it on master and installed frostfall let's just put it this way I never knew I should fear bandits that much
Paralyze is really useful because your enemies cannot fight back. If you use this enchantment you only need it for 1 second or 2 at the most . They lie there helpless as you beat the crap out of them and paralyze them again and again even if you only have a crappy dagger. ( paralyzing daggers dual wielded are great for levelling one handed up ) Along with soul trap which you only need for 1 second. Those 2 enchantments work from the actual blow landed and not from the first one, so anything more than 1 or 2 secs isnt needed and just means your weapon will need recharging all the time. A really useful weapon is a soultrap 1 second powerful bow to fill soul gems. You get the power of the bow up by using enchanted smithing gear and fortify smithing potions instead of a strong enchantment because it will drain very quickly. The single most useful enchantment you can get IMO is absorb health because it works against EVERYTHING including dragons , undead , vampires, bandits, mammoths etc. Twinned with a soultrap bow to fill gems you are good to go. PS you get your combat skills levelling up by going for an advanced level while having good armor so enemies take more damage and more hits.
This is the first build video I've watched, and ESO, you did an awesome job, not just in designing the build, but also in the video creation. You have such a great detailed comprehensive explanation that is synced up with the video so well, that you deserve compliments for your work. Thumbs up! I only started playing TESV about 2.5 months ago, and it is so much fun, and your videos help show there is a lot more fun to be had. Thanks for your efforts, man. And happy new year to you and yours.
Thank you so much for this build! I just got the SE version of the game for PS4, and instead of being my usual Sneaky Archer, I wanted to be something different and this type of build is fits the bill. I may not play it exactly the same, but thanks for the guide. I think the Dwarven armor is my favorite in the game. It just looks so cool! Thanks again!
Beautiful extensive guide, I'm a elder scrolls vet and have my own tank build but this has taught me things and shown me another cool theme excellent video man
This is an excellent video.....I have used this build extensively against dragons, mages, and when I joined up with the Dawn guard and fought numerous vampires....as well as when I fought in the Skyrim civil war. This particular build is a cross between James Bond and a Swiss army pocket knife.....a tool for every job! 👍👍
spellbreaker: creates a ward that blocks up to 50 points of magic damage elemental protection perk: take 50% (witch is half so that technically doubles the ward's strength) less damage from magic attach while blocking (works with spellbreaker) ward absorb perk: wards absorb 25% of magic (ALSO works with spellbreaker) MATH TIME: 50 + 50 = 100 + 25 (25% of 100 is 25 (duh)) so in total spellbreaker can block up to 125 points of magic damage you're welcome
I don't think you mentioned it at all, but there's a quest called Unfathomable Depths that gives you a 25% boost to all Dwemer armor (in addition to a 15% smithing exp boost), making it a bit better than Ebony.
Dawnbreaker and Spellbreaker is my standard setup, along with some heavy armour. This is one of the first videos I've seen actually make use of them properly.
In all the hours I've put into this game I have never once used a shield but I believe when remastered is released I'll try this setup it looks amazing
I love how you always make up a backstory for the build. It is a really interesting aspect about these videos. Now I always play a collector-like character, trying to find and treasure all the unique items, decorating my house with legendary weapons etc. Maybe if you have any time, you could make a video about something like that
Adam Burgess Would be great. I'd just love them to port it to new-gen with as little effort as possible so that it doesn't detract from their work on the next ES game. :) (but maybe a bit more DLC ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) Would love to have it run on ultra like a PC, but on a console. Perhaps even mod support as it now seems possible on the new-gen systems :D
The main problem I have with the aetherial shield is if you use it on a mage or a caster that can use a healing spell, they normally use that and break out of the ethereal effect, because technically it’s not an attack, which makes the shield useless against casters imo
That is a LOT of information, but I am excited to try this build, going from my usual *cough* Stealth Archer *cough* build I usually do. This sounds like a lot of fun!
i wanted to say that im using this build for my new anniversary walkthrough on master/ legendary difficulty and survival mode. It is by far the best possible build on survival mode and high difficulties that I've found on the internet without a doubt. The heavy armor helps absorb damage early on and gives some time before your health gets low then you can shield bash and use restoration which is amazing on survival mode . In addition the wide set of skills you'll be using if you use all of which ESO mentioned in the video leveling up fast will be no issue. After doing a legendary walkthrough with the glass warrior build (which i finally got all achievements on) i knew i needed a build that used restoration since health regen using only potions and food seemed like it would be hell on survival and here it is.I went from sporting nightingale armor at level 63 on legendary difficulty taking legendary dragons with ease. Now here i am level 18 on master difficulty in dwarven armor with teldryn sero as my follower.....i just got done running into the golden saints camp by accident and took down the bandit leader with a dwarven bow before he could even reach me then watched as he flew 20 feet after a flame atronach hit him with a fire ball.
building this Centurion as I type. So far I'm loving it. it's very versatile. I'm on my way to start the athereal quest for the sheild. Great build ESO!
Sigh as always your the best build creator. Like literally best build creator. Im calling everyone that has made a build out because Eso is by far better than everyone else. He is always the first person I go to for information because he's literally done almost everything and he still makes Skyrim videos just for us new people. Anyways I might have a few questions about this build in the future but three question just for now since I haven't played with the build yet. One is the anybody else than Lydia because you name her in almost every build :P. Two Is being an Orc fine because he does more damage and takes less when he does his berserk mode. Three any recommended Deaderic artifacts that we should keep a look out for.
you should check out Fudgemuppet too, there builds are extremely unique and have great backgrounds, lore is one of the cool things of the elder scrolls, it is also nice to watch some lore videos it can change your whole view at the game
Sheogorath Gaming But do you have a video of it because clearly you said you made a unarmed tank build and from what I see from your channel there is no proof. Plus being a tank is tanking all the damage not being the most damage output. Thats the thiefs job.
Congratulations man this is the best skyrim video I have ever and I will ever see this helped me a lot even tho Ive been playing the game for a long time keep this up your work is great. I know skyrim is a really old game but it is great and a lot of people like me keep playing it. Good job man. (Eng. is not my native languague so sorry for my mistakes grammar nazis)
ESO Thank you!!! I was growing tired of my range / stealth build and was thinking about a more hack and slash build. This was very helpful, love the videos keep it up!!
I loved my Tank, when my ps3 was still working and i could play Skyrim, now I have test, but it's not the same. Please Bethesta bring us another Skyrim for next gen.
definitely will try out this setup coz im too op with full deathbrand armor ebony waraxe on legendary improved mehrunez razor on the other hand 2/2 dual flurry and the one above it and ebony axe enchanted by chaos enchant 50% to hit 50 points of fire frost and shock so i was way too op almost 1 banging everyone. EDIT: it's on legendary difficulty and the ebony axe does 335 damage including the enchants without a critical and i have a ring and an amulet that makes one handers do 44% more damage so yeah i can see why u thought i was a cheater and im lvl 87
Knuckle Dragger That is NOT and an enchantment effect. It's basically a feature of a Enhanced Dwarven crossbow. Normal Dwarven crossbow does not have that. It was made by devs that way but the text is overlapping if you put an enchantment effect on top. That was fixed with the unofficial Dawnguard patch. it basically removes the text allowing you to see the text for enchantment effect while the 50% ignore armor feature is still there but the text is removed and you can only see information sometimes on a loading screens.
It is the point of this build,like you dont want to be OP in early game dont you? I love exploring this world and so many unique weapons and armor in that build.
hey ESO! just wondering what build you'd recommend for a first time play through - being able to do all guilds and dark brotherhood etc. effectively/efficiently
+Wyan SeaLion Just play the game and see what you enjoy, don't tie yourself to anything and not allow experimentation. Come back to this guide later or maybe try parts you like.
+Wyan SeaLion Not very good. Your best thing to get for sneak is a muffled pair of boots you can disenchant and learn the enchantment but they are very rare..
Generally in those scenarios I ditch the sneakiness and whip out a two handed axe. You're not tied to classes or anything, so unless you're into the roleplaying aspect, use whatever works. That being said, if you have a very high level sneak I believe a perk lets you disengage combat.
I know it's a bit old, but thank you for the video, I'm making a legoinnare build aiming to become emperor, never done it before. This video gave me loads of food for thought, cheers
tip: when ready to play and done grinding skills, use the Steed Stone your armor will weigh literally nothing when it's on you. also if you're having trouble reaching that armor cap you can also do the armor glitch to equip multiple armor pieces at once I usually do this with bonemold by level 1 & I have at least 400 defense
here is a guide for the new players on how to fuck everyone or anyone up in skyrim: archery - unlock every perk sneak - unlock every perk light armor - the first perk thingy maxed one handed - first perk maxed and the dual wield perks. gear: best bow you can find, best light armor you can find enchanted with archery or with one handed bonus or ancient shrouded gear, Mehrunes Razor and blade of woe. boom, skyrim is easy when you have got all i listed.
I don't get when peope say there's a 'correct' way to play TES. Just the other day in oblivion I stripped my character naked and murdered innocent people whilst shouting "I AM THE ACROBAT KILLUH" I had the time of my life
Usually I try something new and fall back into my sneaky assassin (arrows or spells). But I have to hand it to you this is the best one of all the builds I have tried (which are many). Thanks for giving us all so many reasons to revisit skyrim. :) I`m about to start my 9th play through. :)
I LOVE build especially the Roleplaying aspect of it. My adjustments were (with the help of mods) after the a thousand years since the experiment you were forgotten in a dwemer ruin and have no memory whatsoever. I also decided on two handed fighting instead. Some critical mods as well that I think need to be said if you wanna run this with mods are. Clockwork, Project AHO, Dwemer Magic, and Playable snow elf race. It’s also imperative that when playing you make sure to hit every dwemer ruin seeing as how you are trying to remember who/what you are
Remember to Hit that NOTIFICATION Button Next to the Subscribe Button - This will make my Daily guides appear in your recommended videos so you don't miss them!
What's the point of these build videos for Skyrim? It's not like an MMO. You're choosing between passive perks, so the more perks you have the more powerful you will be. Just use your common sense. And do people really need to go on reddit and youtube to find a role for a character in a single player role-playing game where you're supposed to come up with your own fictions.
Michael Jordan and every build breaks down to flapping your arms around in true betheda combat style. flap flap flap next enemy. Unless you're an archer. then you just get a bow and profit.
Using Auriel's Shield would also compliment quite well, and it would fit the roleplay almost perfectly. The tortured Snow Elf aspect of it at least. And its great for tanks👍
I chose the Argonian, myself. Their resistance to disease and Histskin power, just works for me. I don't like having to use potions. I personally wasn't interested in the fire part of the build, so I went with some kick-ass magic resistance instead. Since I can improve a set of dwarven armor to the cap pretty easily, I just decided I could grab the Otar mask, improve it, and still be at the armor cap. One thing I think you could've mentioned was use of the Alteration tree. I believe at level 70 Alteration, there's a perk that lessens the affect of magic against you by 30%. And when you make it to 100 Alteration, there's another perk that let's you absorb 30% of magic. So coupled with the Atronach stone, you have 80% magic absorption. That along with the enchanted armor to resist magic even further. There's not much mages and dragons to do to me. Even on legendary difficulty. And of course if I have to use the Histskin power, there's not a mage alive that can hurt me. So the Otar mask (for people not familiar), amps up fire, frost, and shock resistance by 30%. I enchanted my Dwarven armor, necklace and ring with fortify health and health regeneration. With the fortify health regeneration one three of my apparel items, my healing rate is 2.05x higher. And when I use the Histskin... 20.5x healing, baby. I ditched Spellbreaker, and just go a regular dwarven shield and enchanted that with fortify health as well. Basically I amped up my health by 280 points. I'm at level 73 right now. And my health is at 1000.
When i did the quest i used the forge and forged the crown, now i cannot forge any other piece of those 3 items, it's sad...i really wanted to create this tank armor. Nice video by the way, you really put passion and dedication in your gameplay. Good job.
It's a very nice build, but I'm a little surprised he didn't mention the quest "Unfathomable Depths".
There's an Argonian on the Riften docks babbling about a Dwemer lexicon she and her friends stole. Accept her quest to return it, and you'll go into a Dwemer ruin filled with traps and enemies.
The reward is a permanent power called Ancient Knowledge. It gives you an automatic *25% Armor Bonus* when wearing Dwarven Armor, and makes Smithing level up *15% faster*. It's worth looking into.
She was running around riften and got shot in the back in my game
Jamie Evans Yeah, was a bit surprised too. He must have forgot about it. Still, it's a fun concept, shame you can't be a dwarf.
Jamie Evans At the beginning of the video I was like "he'll probably mention this too" but when he didn't I was kinda sad because it fits the character build an even the story perfectly !
Same I was like unfathomable depths is gonna be here was really surprised it wasnt
Thanks
Finding and preserving Dwemer technology? Sounds like an Elder Scrolls version of the Brotherhood of Steel to me.

ESO, i love your logic, "you are one of the last remaining SNOW ELVES..." "half machine, half HUMAN"
WAT
Lol
***** Nah im good thanks.
Booyah!
so i ain't the only one who picked up on that
"However, you do suffer from the limits of a human, you can become tiresome."
I meet people with this particular limitation every day.
My first and favourite build is the archer dual wield swords argonian build
Main skill trees are
One handed.
Archery.
Light Armor
Sneak.
Restoration.
Cool! I like the archer assassin build ESO made! If only I could get everything to finish it though, :3
Mine similar it's a nord archer battle mage
***** i like this class called cthulhu the fabulous i named it myse-
nevermind
+TheRuinedUniverse lol
+Oscar Abdat You liked my joke? I like it too! It has everything includin-

This is an excellent video.....I have used this build extensively against dragons, mages, and when I joined up with the Dawn guard and fought numerous vampires....as well as when I fought in the Skyrim civil war. This particular build is a cross between James Bond and a Swiss army pocket knife.....a tool for every job! 👍👍
All these year later and I still find myself returning to this build. Excellent work, dude.
ESO: This shield is your go-to defensive weapon.
Auto-subtitles: This shield a joke.
spellbreaker: creates a ward that blocks up to 50 points of magic damage
elemental protection perk: take 50% (witch is half so that technically doubles the ward's strength) less damage from magic attach while blocking (works with spellbreaker)
ward absorb perk: wards absorb 25% of magic (ALSO works with spellbreaker)
MATH TIME: 50 + 50 = 100 + 25 (25% of 100 is 25 (duh)) so in total spellbreaker can block up to 125 points of magic damage
you're welcome
Pokémon Trainer Gante it's 50 points and 50% there's a difference
Pokémon Trainer Gante it's 150% witch =75 points blocked
Pokémon Trainer Gante without the extra 25%
I don't think you mentioned it at all, but there's a quest called Unfathomable Depths that gives you a 25% boost to all Dwemer armor (in addition to a 15% smithing exp boost), making it a bit better than Ebony.
Dawnbreaker and Spellbreaker is my standard setup, along with some heavy armour. This is one of the first videos I've seen actually make use of them properly.
In all the hours I've put into this game I have never once used a shield but I believe when remastered is released I'll try this setup it looks amazing
Look at the URL of this video, I think it's trying to tell us to do something...

nope XD
Tis but a scratch
Once again you make a great build ESO! Thanks for all the guides and builds-you have helped me a lot with the game!
Yep you do need help at this game
Was that an insult? If it was, that was bad. Very bad.
I think he meant everyone needs help at this game
I love how you always make up a backstory for the build. It is a really interesting aspect about these videos. Now I always play a collector-like character, trying to find and treasure all the unique items, decorating my house with legendary weapons etc. Maybe if you have any time, you could make a video about something like that
is it wierd that I find this guy's voice soothing?
Who wants skyrim remastered?
✋
Adam Burgess Would be great. I'd just love them to port it to new-gen with as little effort as possible so that it doesn't detract from their work on the next ES game. :) (but maybe a bit more DLC ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
Would love to have it run on ultra like a PC, but on a console. Perhaps even mod support as it now seems possible on the new-gen systems :D
No, oblivion would be so much better remastered
brad martin It could look a lot better.
brad martin morrowind before Oblivion, fam
never did like crossbows..... Take too bloody long to reload
Luke Feeney level up that archery bruh 30% faster draw rate (reload time)
Luke Feeney my nigga
Morgan Moynes it was a game of thrones reference :/
+Cris ZDTV yeah the guy from the wall
Fuck the king!
The main problem I have with the aetherial shield is if you use it on a mage or a caster that can use a healing spell, they normally use that and break out of the ethereal effect, because technically it’s not an attack, which makes the shield useless against casters imo
You do make an extremely good point, but it boils down to the coolness of the shield, imo aesthetics are more important than functionality
That is a LOT of information, but I am excited to try this build, going from my usual *cough* Stealth Archer *cough* build I usually do. This sounds like a lot of fun!
this video changed my mind I'm playing a warrior for my first play through thanx ESO
Holy shit this is great!
Agreed
+Адам Томпсон Sloppy Slopes Approved
I like to call this build "The Dweminator."
+Sir Spooks Skeleton love it
+ESO - Fallout & Elder Scrolls Guides You Should Make Buildup About 2 Handed And Heavy Amor And Enchating
Dawnbreaker only explodes on Undead!
He said that friend
i wanted to say that im using this build for my new anniversary walkthrough on master/ legendary difficulty and survival mode. It is by far the best possible build on survival mode and high difficulties that I've found on the internet without a doubt. The heavy armor helps absorb damage early on and gives some time before your health gets low then you can shield bash and use restoration which is amazing on survival mode . In addition the wide set of skills you'll be using if you use all of which ESO mentioned in the video leveling up fast will be no issue. After doing a legendary walkthrough with the glass warrior build (which i finally got all achievements on) i knew i needed a build that used restoration since health regen using only potions and food seemed like it would be hell on survival and here it is.I went from sporting nightingale armor at level 63 on legendary difficulty taking legendary dragons with ease. Now here i am level 18 on master difficulty in dwarven armor with teldryn sero as my follower.....i just got done running into the golden saints camp by accident and took down the bandit leader with a dwarven bow before he could even reach me then watched as he flew 20 feet after a flame atronach hit him with a fire ball.
building this Centurion as I type. So far I'm loving it. it's very versatile. I'm on my way to start the athereal quest for the sheild. Great build ESO!
you got yourself a new subscriber, good sir :D
I think it would look cool if you make a high elf look like a dwarf :)
Sigh as always your the best build creator. Like literally best build creator. Im calling everyone that has made a build out because Eso is by far better than everyone else. He is always the first person I go to for information because he's literally done almost everything and he still makes Skyrim videos just for us new people. Anyways I might have a few questions about this build in the future but three question just for now since I haven't played with the build yet. One is the anybody else than Lydia because you name her in almost every build :P. Two Is being an Orc fine because he does more damage and takes less when he does his berserk mode. Three any recommended Deaderic artifacts that we should keep a look out for.
you should check out Fudgemuppet too, there builds are extremely unique and have great backgrounds, lore is one of the cool things of the elder scrolls, it is also nice to watch some lore videos it can change your whole view at the game
Sheogorath Gaming But do you have a video of it because clearly you said you made a unarmed tank build and from what I see from your channel there is no proof. Plus being a tank is tanking all the damage not being the most damage output. Thats the thiefs job.
Sheogorath Gaming O ok. I don't mean to be like I want proof so yea.
Lol no Fudgemuppet is :P
FudgeMuppet even did a similar build to this called the Mechanist. Though, they're a tad different
Congratulations man this is the best skyrim video I have ever and I will ever see this helped me a lot even tho Ive been playing the game for a long time keep this up your work is great. I know skyrim is a really old game but it is great and a lot of people like me keep playing it. Good job man. (Eng. is not my native languague so sorry for my mistakes grammar nazis)
ESO Thank you!!! I was growing tired of my range / stealth build and was thinking about a more hack and slash build. This was very helpful, love the videos keep it up!!
lol that RuneScape Raptor thumpnail ^^

absolutely mint build, started this today and I'm determined get it optimised, great backstop aswell, love the lore of it all
Your role-playing backstories are really good. They make an already interesting game even more interesting
I added a dwemer race mod to my game so i can have a little bit of a lore to my game
but you are supposed to be a falmer in this build
TheFalcon Venom you should still have your own play style not just follow what ESO says
Djjdndjdj Djdnkd is he a dark elf?
The Game Changer he is likely a dark elf due to the fire he uses
Kk......k
Fine armor you've got there. Dwarven make, am I right?
"Everything dies, it's great!" - 18:27
This build is the best skyrim build ever beating all of your other builds and even triumphing fudgemuppet
I loved my Tank, when my ps3 was still working and i could play Skyrim, now I have test, but it's not the same. Please Bethesta bring us another Skyrim for next gen.
Guess what
Looknig forward to your fallout 4 builds.
that runescape thumbnail though
Word yoo
Any one exited for 2016 skyrim remastered
Anyone excited for tes 6
I Love these guides. I’ve watched the necromancer, dream strider, and this one and I think the backstory bits are the best part. Very creative!
I like the way you expect this to be role-played. I normally don't see that in people. Makes me think of a D&D type of play.
definitely will try out this setup coz im too op with full deathbrand armor ebony waraxe on legendary improved mehrunez razor on the other hand 2/2 dual flurry and the one above it and ebony axe enchanted by chaos enchant 50% to hit 50 points of fire frost and shock so i was way too op almost 1 banging everyone.
EDIT: it's on legendary difficulty and the ebony axe does 335 damage including the enchants without a critical and i have a ring and an amulet that makes one handers do 44% more damage so yeah i can see why u thought i was a cheater and im lvl 87
You could just use Soulrender, and bloodsythe. But whatever.
Origami Cat What difficulty?
Sir.Alex But soulrender suks
Hey its the new thing that noobs dont do!Turning up the difficulty
The Lagg legendary difficulty lvl 85 xbox 360 isn't a noob
The enhanced dwarven crossbow is GLITCHED add a very good chaos enchanment and you can add a second enchanment XD
That's sick!!
Knuckle Dragger actually that is not an enchantment you can do it on a enchanced crossbow as well
Knuckle Dragger not a glitch, just doesn't count as a enchantment
Knuckle Dragger That is NOT and an enchantment effect. It's basically a feature of a Enhanced Dwarven crossbow. Normal Dwarven crossbow does not have that. It was made by devs that way but the text is overlapping if you put an enchantment effect on top.
That was fixed with the unofficial Dawnguard patch. it basically removes the text allowing you to see the text for enchantment effect while the 50% ignore armor feature is still there but the text is removed and you can only see information sometimes on a loading screens.
I used both shields and I think that the spellbreaker is better
Joe The Food Blogger yeah spell absorption is op
The only way the spellbreaker is worse is when you are a vampire with necromage and atronach stone
Try more mechanics with athereal.
I am using this build and its AWESOME. takes awhile to get it all. but I am almost there . Thanks ESO.
It is the point of this build,like you dont want to be OP in early game dont you? I love exploring this world and so many unique weapons and armor in that build.
eso I personally want to thank you for helping me find my 2 favorite builds tank and fist
I found the dawn breaker sword in accident an sold it before I saw this vid D:
+A Sad Turtle I think that if you sell unique weapons like the dawnbreaker they remain in the shopkeeper's inventory so you can buy it back anytime.
+Titan-Volt 101 I already made a new game and found it
+A Sad Turtle don't you have to do the quest with auras star to get it
i thought u can't jut find it
+Harixx t. No you have to do the quest for Meridia.
+Vincent Kosier omg same with me
hey ESO! just wondering what build you'd recommend for a first time play through - being able to do all guilds and dark brotherhood etc. effectively/efficiently
+Wyan SeaLion Just play the game and see what you enjoy, don't tie yourself to anything and not allow experimentation. Come back to this guide later or maybe try parts you like.
How well does sneaky type fair against dragons and bosses that will probably see you and make you no longer able to sneak?
+Wyan SeaLion Not very good.
Your best thing to get for sneak is a muffled pair of boots you can disenchant and learn the enchantment but they are very rare..
Generally in those scenarios I ditch the sneakiness and whip out a two handed axe. You're not tied to classes or anything, so unless you're into the roleplaying aspect, use whatever works. That being said, if you have a very high level sneak I believe a perk lets you disengage combat.
+Melancholic Sandwich Shadow Warrior, I think, when you sneak you briefly go invisible and breaking combat.
11:27 anyone else noticed.Heheh 😂😂
Every good armor smith has a iron stick melted to is arm
HAHA
happens to me all the time
I know it's a bit old, but thank you for the video, I'm making a legoinnare build aiming to become emperor, never done it before. This video gave me loads of food for thought, cheers
tip: when ready to play and done grinding skills, use the Steed Stone your armor will weigh literally nothing when it's on you. also if you're having trouble reaching that armor cap you can also do the armor glitch to equip multiple armor pieces at once I usually do this with bonemold by level 1 & I have at least 400 defense
here is a guide for the new players on how to fuck everyone or anyone up in skyrim:
archery - unlock every perk
sneak - unlock every perk
light armor - the first perk thingy maxed
one handed - first perk maxed and the dual wield perks.
gear: best bow you can find, best light armor you can find enchanted with archery or with one handed bonus or ancient shrouded gear, Mehrunes Razor and blade of woe.
boom, skyrim is easy when you have got all i listed.
Will you do a seperate warrior build for the remastered version?
I don't get when peope say there's a 'correct' way to play TES. Just the other day in oblivion I stripped my character naked and murdered innocent people whilst shouting "I AM THE ACROBAT KILLUH" I had the time of my life
lol
XD
Usually I try something new and fall back into my sneaky assassin (arrows or spells). But I have to hand it to you this is the best one of all the builds I have tried (which are many). Thanks for giving us all so many reasons to revisit skyrim. :) I`m about to start my 9th play through. :)
Love how you got a pic of Raptor from runescape as the thumbnail
I dont know what build i should make for the skyrim remake...haaaaaaalp
go full something
like full thief
full mage
full tank
usually in the first playthrough you go hybrid, going full something it's really fun.
+Breno Ferreira
thank you for the Suggestion
what im thinking about going is a 1 handed mace wielding and the other hand conjuration magic with your choice of armor seems like a good idea to me
I'm going for a strong two handed Nord. I had a 600 hour play time on ps3 and I never used a two handed weapon. It's going to be so fun.
+Taylor i prefer orc for 2 handed you should try it
11:58 Smithing 100
One_Alone#Van alon "ancient knowledge of dwemer smithing"
Is it normal to be lvl 31with full daedric?
Garrett Lanxon I don't see why not.
AdrianStriker Nope he uses Console Commands, the midden, or he plays on novice and just focused on Smithing
Garrett Lanxon i got a full set on level 22 after focusing on smithing for 10 levels
It depends how you play depending on play style it might be normal to have full daedric at level 15
Garrett Lanxon
1. Powerlevel smithing.
2. Go to the ebony mine
3. Buy daedric hearts at the college of winterhold.
So no, it's not hard at all.
Something fun to try and just love listening to you throw information at me while playing. 😂
I LOVE build especially the Roleplaying aspect of it. My adjustments were (with the help of mods) after the a thousand years since the experiment you were forgotten in a dwemer ruin and have no memory whatsoever. I also decided on two handed fighting instead. Some critical mods as well that I think need to be said if you wanna run this with mods are. Clockwork, Project AHO, Dwemer Magic, and Playable snow elf race. It’s also imperative that when playing you make sure to hit every dwemer ruin seeing as how you are trying to remember who/what you are

HELLO! COOL CONTENT!
ESO THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THIS BUILD ;)
ESO - Fallout & Elder Scrolls Guides is this build for DLC or Not plz reply
SteamPunkSenpai yes and no it's if you have the dlcs or not
I don't have the dlcs
What's the point of these build videos for Skyrim? It's not like an MMO. You're choosing between passive perks, so the more perks you have the more powerful you will be. Just use your common sense. And do people really need to go on reddit and youtube to find a role for a character in a single player role-playing game where you're supposed to come up with your own fictions.
Michael Jordan and every build breaks down to flapping your arms around in true betheda combat style. flap flap flap next enemy. Unless you're an archer. then you just get a bow and profit.
Michael Jordan no. did you ever cheat to level 70 just by mixing potions. as soon as you go out you get rekt no matter how many perk points you have
Using Auriel's Shield would also compliment quite well, and it would fit the roleplay almost perfectly. The tortured Snow Elf aspect of it at least. And its great for tanks👍
I love starting over to try all types of builds
I loved this video so much I started a new skyrim build for the first time in 2 years. thanks ESO
I chose the Argonian, myself. Their resistance to disease and Histskin power, just works for me. I don't like having to use potions.
I personally wasn't interested in the fire part of the build, so I went with some kick-ass magic resistance instead. Since I can improve a set of dwarven armor to the cap pretty easily, I just decided I could grab the Otar mask, improve it, and still be at the armor cap.
One thing I think you could've mentioned was use of the Alteration tree. I believe at level 70 Alteration, there's a perk that lessens the affect of magic against you by 30%. And when you make it to 100 Alteration, there's another perk that let's you absorb 30% of magic. So coupled with the Atronach stone, you have 80% magic absorption. That along with the enchanted armor to resist magic even further. There's not much mages and dragons to do to me. Even on legendary difficulty. And of course if I have to use the Histskin power, there's not a mage alive that can hurt me.
So the Otar mask (for people not familiar), amps up fire, frost, and shock resistance by 30%. I enchanted my Dwarven armor, necklace and ring with fortify health and health regeneration. With the fortify health regeneration one three of my apparel items, my healing rate is 2.05x higher. And when I use the Histskin... 20.5x healing, baby.
I ditched Spellbreaker, and just go a regular dwarven shield and enchanted that with fortify health as well. Basically I amped up my health by 280 points. I'm at level 73 right now. And my health is at 1000.
I love the RP story for your builds
When i did the quest i used the forge and forged the crown, now i cannot forge any other piece of those 3 items, it's sad...i really wanted to create this tank armor. Nice video by the way, you really put passion and dedication in your gameplay. Good job.
