Okay so get this. I've been watching a lot of troll slaying shows and thinking back to Skyrim it dawned on me that Trolls are tough enemies. I know really want to know just what would be best for taking on a troll?

Now I want this character to be a mix of two handed and single. It's not that simple. I'm going to carry a great sword for general combat, but I'll be casting a lot of spells and I can't do that with both hands occupied. So I'm going to get a smaller fire sword for troll slaying to let me cast spells, probably DawnBreaker?

I have a list of fire spells, up on that list are Flame Cloak and Wall of Flames. I have good ideas for how to level my destruction and the like so that's not a problem. My problem is armor weapons?

Obviously I'm going heavy. I'm going to be a spellsword Troll hunter, not a wimp. The armor should have regeneration or some sort of spikes. Trolls have a regen ability common to their kind, having regen myself would even that out, so would something that damages the troll as it hits me. But I already got Flame Cloak in mind which will cover me in flames, the trolls will already take some sort of base damage just being near me, Regeneration is very important. So basically I either need heavy armor that comes with regen or to know where a decent regen piece is that I can uninchant?

Next are weapons. I have my spells picked out and Dawnbreaker would be a nice weapon to use as it has style. But is there anything stronger? Anything fancier and less boring to retrieve? Beyond that I'm going to main in Two handed weapons. A great sword would be nice. I have all the DLC so I was thinking something along the lines of Bloodskal Blade. It doesn't do fire damage but the heavy attack sends flying energy and would let me get the first hit in. I could hit the troll, stagger it, get my smaller sword out, cast a few spells, and have the bloodskal blade out and be ready to own in no time?

It's all roleplay and I want this to be as awesome as possible. So if armor that matches or looks good with the enchantments can't be found I'll get good looking armor and enchant that. I was thinking Ahzidal's set. Doesn't do much in what I want but walking on water would be nice and on of the fire spells requires his ring?

What do you guys think?

Most of my suggestions are about 2-handed weapons:
There is actually a weapon called Trollsbane. It's a steel warhammer that secifically sets trolls on fire: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Trollsbane

The ebony blade, because regeneration is an enchantment I haven't often come across but the Ebony blade has a fairly strong health-drain enchantment, so it damages them, and heals you a bit.

I don't know if you've considered shouts, but the fire breath shout would give you an additional source of fire damage, or marked for death which is just OP as can be.

I didn't know the Ebony blade did that honestly. It could be nice. I don't think I'd like a warhammer, I think a greatsword fits the build much better.

Don't know enough troll mythology to say much about what would be good role playing wise. It's said sunlight turns them to stone so the dawn breaker would be a good fit lore wise.

These are odd trolls more like 3 billy goats gruff trolls not hog warts trolls or shrek green skins but hairy. Orcs are kind of like trolls. Wonder if you can lay waste to orc strong holds and not get a bounty.

Also they're slow. I imagine a troll hunter would use potions make slow. . Then Find caves with lots of trolls orc and falmer

In Skyrim all trolls are weak to fire.
