Is that the one where he just uses the crossbows and bashes with them? Utilizing runes quite often as well?
yes and no, and pretty much
Demonhunter.
It's a fun build, I've adapted it to my playstyle. I've played Skyrim
alot before I ever updated it or downloaded a DLC... took me 140 hours to get my warrior up to level 52, and my battlemage 80 hours to get to level 46. All earned with no glitches.
reason why I'm saying this, is because I looted the Dawnstar chest like
MAD with my khajiit, Qa'Bar. In 30 hours time, he's level 62 now and very,
very capable.
Right now, he's fighting for the Imperials, just a "legendary" hunting bow 148dmg, and now heavy Imperial armor. Combining that with Stoneflesh, he has pretty good armor rating, about 425. His archery is at 57 (lacking), but now his destruction has caught up, at 62. Finally got some much-needed spells and switched from the mage to the thief stone. His character hasn't even found the lover stone yet!
but that'll become his mainstay til I'm finished with him.
here's his basic setup as I went:
level 16
level 36
level 51
level 61
basically, there's alot of "skills" he doesn't have attributes in, but they got him to the level he's at. And it wasn't my intention. Oh well.
Speech has hit legendary 3 times now, and Alchemy 3 times (on purpose with that one, he's very heavy on alchemy) basically his potions make him money, and level his speech. I don't have any perks in that tree yet though.
honestly he leveled up today, from 25 to 60, before starting the "Jagged Crown" mission (Civil War is his main questline). I'm still kind of in awe how that can happen now. The whole time, he never left Dawnstar lol.
I've become really, really good at running backwards, dropping double-fisted runes as I go. It's become my "go-to" for melee. Only time I use actual melee, is with a dagger, up close, from behind. Basically when I'm worried my arrow may miss (vampires in the streets) or my AOE (fireball) will kill friends. I did "exploit" the dagger, with a fortify smithing potion, on top of fortify smithing gear. The dagger puts out 225 base damage, it's Dwarven.
Alchemy is the
key believe it or not. When I don't have my fortify marksman, poison health, or regenerate heath and magika potions, I'm hurting. They literally change the dynamics of the fight. Hence why his alchemy has looped quite a few times. I'm looking forward to working with the
Skyrim Alchemy Lab after I'm done with the CW questline. Right now, he's basically just been making potions that are "givens" on screen. Basically just an Imperial Scout who is adept at alchemy.
He's been a blast to RP, and to play. I can't wait to really get into his character story. His coversations with J'Zhargo about Destruction spells should be quite interesting...
He basically was conscripted into the Imperial Army.
After the Civil War, he runs away and joins the Mages College of Winterhold and vows to never pick up a bow, or use a destructive spell again.
Then, helping out Sergius with some enchanting errands, he runs into Dawnstar and sees their distress. Erandur asks for his help. It's during "Waking Nightmare" that Qa'Bar really begins to understand his true calling as a Demonhunter. I treat this little Daedric Quest as a huge "the call" for Qa'Bar's story.
That's when Qa'Bar learns there are good reasons for Destruction and Archery
for part of the Roleplay (where Khajiit really can't enter a city), Qa'Bar's main demonhunter kit will be Dwarven armor. His helm will hide he's a Khajiit.
like I said, this build really opened my eyes back to Skyrim. I honestly thought I was done, because I don't sneak for sneaks sake. And I had my warrior and battlemage. Now, not going to lie, nothing is more fun than using Illusion spells of Invisibility, lining up the shot, and then hitting the spell again!
and that was literally just a by-product of the rest of his build!
