Skyrim Tank builds
Builds for soaking damage and staying on their feet. For players who would rather outlast a fight than dodge it.
Or start from scratch in the Character Build Planner and share your build.
Based loosely on the titular character from the Overlord game series. This character is a heavily armored battlemage who summons allies, fires off powerful spells, and crafts its own powerful gear.
Focus on leveling Conjuration early and use your sword and Destruction spells as backup until you have enough Magicka to blast constantly in fights.
Smithing and selling enchanted daggers keeps you flush with cash for spells while leveling your crafting.
Build limited to only 6 skills. Main Skill (Alchemy) has a 10 perk investment, Minor Skills have a 5 perk investment. This build is a Heavily Armoured Knight who uses poison and bleed buildup to cause massive amounts of damage over time (DOT). Applying poisons of weakness to poison and weakness to magicka increase all DOT damage, taking this build to the next level.
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.
