  • Challenge build for a 100% run (more so just do all the major endgame bosses), with the idea of using a pickaxe as the main weapon.
  • Classic alteration power levelling to get to level 80.
  • For my own "enjoyment" but feel free to have a go as well or try and do a slightly different (probably better) build.

This Breton Light Paladin blends swift mobility with divine destruction. Outfitted in light Elven armor, you use Breton Magic Resistance to shrug off spells while weaving Restoration magic (healing, Sun Fire, and undead turning) into fast-paced combat. You snipe with Auriel's Bow, then rush in with Dawnbreaker and Auriel's Shield to blast foes back with holy shockwaves.

byAsimpleguest

An sneaky argonian leeching with drain spell, shouts and poison runes toying with his prey until it decide to became a tormenting force using knockbacks, bleeding and poisons so potent that they will reduce the poor prey to ashes if not cautious. When the prey die, the toxic komodo will eat it nourrishing and reinforcing himself until he found his next prey.

Need the improved atronach glitch, to permit unlimited leeching and reinforce his low magickal.
