My Master difficulty build.

Black-Tongue · Dec 9, 2011

My first one, I want to see how hard it really is. This will be a variation of my staple build.

Argonian spellsword/archer/backstab/sneaky-thing

I'm kind of torn between a few different things. Is light armor with smithing really worth it on this difficulty? Should I do block? Or is face to face combat going to be hard with light armor? I had illusion last time, but I think I'll leave it out on this build in favor of more health and stamina.

I left some perks out, what is your input?

Smithing perks (besides Arcane) at all when there is so much equipment out there for a sneaky character is a waste in my opinion. You're wasting a bunch of perk points there that could really be used in other areas, and on Master things can turn bad really quickly, youll do good to have a plan b (IE: Invisibility, Shadow Warrior etc.) For viability I would recommend taking a look at a build I created a few days ago located here:

Hope this helps.

I see what you mean, so you think it will make little difference as far as durability goes?

On my first version of this build I didn't take armor or smithing at all. I was hoping to squeeze some more base damage out of my weapons and raise my armor rating this time. On adept it probably makes a big difference, perhaps not on master.

Thanks for the advice.

As a sudden switch I think I'm actually going to dump 1-handed. Pure archer all the way!

I can put some nasty poison on a dagger and still do tons of damage with or without the skill, especially with assassin's blade.

I'll retake illusion too.

Should be fun.
