Mistress of Shadows
My character has made a Dragonbone bow, dragonbone sword and dragonbone dagger. All legendary and enchanted with >does 25% shock damage and half as much magic damage<. It's only one enchantment but it's a two for one.
She also has hundreds of dragonbone arrows. She made a Daedric bow of soul capture for filling soul gems. She also uses a legendary enhanced dwarven crossbow and teams it with the exploding bolts. Packs quite a punch especially seeing she wears armour with fortify archery.

A good combo would be Absorb Health/Stamina. Keeps you in the fight for longer. I'd also suggest a combo of two of the three elemental effects, to boost your damage output. ^___^

Looking for the Snitch in Skyrim...
I've used absorb health and fire damage on sword and bow. It is good. Once used paralyse and fire damage. Have to recharge after a small number of uses. I have a dagger with shock and fire damage maxed which I use for stealth kills. Only need one hit for high leveled foes. If trying for a soul capture weapon as well I would use fiery soul. If used its like having three enchantments.

How do you backstab a Dragon?
I like fire at low levels (vampires are the biggest threats at low levels and neither shock nor frost do much good).

At higher levels (once I have 2 enchants), I like to use fire & shock or dual wield fire/shock - frost/health. Works like a charm against any opponent.

Armors on the other hand...

For some reason I also luv the steel dagger I get from the side-quest at Moss Mother Cave as a gift/reward. I trick it up and the 25% kill bonus is really great when I'm doing a backstab. Of course I also keep my health sucking soul sucker in the other hand as well with my collection of black soul gems. :)

Helmet - +40% archery (sometimes up to 53!) and +60 frost/fire protection (depending on the race); +63 stamina and + 50 sneak - boots; + 40 one or two handed (depending on character) and + 40 archery (or higher!) - gauntlets; +63 health/magicka/stamina (depending on playthrough) and +50 (or more) magic resist on armour; (and don't even get me started on rings, amulets, falmer helmets (which I found a trick for wearing along with a regular helmet or circlet if needed). My numbers may be slightly off, but I'm not kidding about the 63 - that I am sure on!).

Of course there's a whole other range of enchantments for regular clothing (smithing, alchemy, enchanting, haggling/barter, disease & poison protection, etc...)

All in all - enchanting is a blast!

No doubt. That sounds strong. i'm somewhat new to the enchanting world. I was tired of gettin my ass handed to me with my old character.. so i did some online digging.. n found out how to make the best weapons and armor..

i'm lvl 32 and just left town for the first time a couple lvls ago with my new alchemy/smithing/enchant character. ha.. it was such a long and boring process! but was well worth the time.

You can't place Resist Magic enchants on armour?

Correct and shield too but not actually armour.

As I said, I'm a bit fuzzy on the numbers, but I do place resist magic on one of them (maybe it's the ring or amulet), but I always place some on one of them before I go out. I forgot, I also like to put major overload on light or heavy armour skills as I always tend to legendize those when they get to 100 so it makes up the difference until I can get the skills back up there again.

Another fun enchantment for me at lower levels (but higher enchanting!) is damage health/stamina/magicka and absorb health/stamina/magicka on the same weapon. I find it very effective in combat (especially on 1 handed swords or daggers).

off subject, can someone please tell me how to put a "self made" web banner as my signature?
Yeah! Really! So many folks have cool ones and I have a great one I'd like to use.

if you want to make a banner go into signature, if you want a slogan that says I am the necromancer or I am the warrior then click on someone elses slogan and then follow the rules that's what I did
