    Very cool build playing this right now.  I never used the Block skill before today, and I have to I'm enjoying shield bashing bandits and undead and then watching killcam finish them off +1

    I was working on a build somewhat like this just a few moments ago. It was my first build, Dawn's Herald. You have outdone me.

    No, just post it. Maybe you will find even more things to twist around :) many builds are similar but just keep working on it perhaps you will give it another twist. There's even an other similar build before this, The Sun Priest. Stay motivated!

    Theres many things you can take advantage of to make builds different. A good back story can help even the most typical stealth archer build stand out. Even builds with the same perks and weapons can be vastly different from each other if they're using different spells or tactics.

    I found something cool while playing this build, I went with The Lord stone+ Atronach stone combo on the Aetherium Crown(like it says here) and the Atronach stone which sometimes negates summons have me a cool boost. I have no spell cost reductions enchantments, and whenever I cast the Flame Atronach I would get more magica back than what invested(when absorbed), but also when it's not absorbed it still gave me magica back(almost full magica bar) My strategy(not yet have full gear): I would cast Flame Atronach(until it works :P) when successful I cast Flame Cloak(costly spell when not perked like me) and I ready up my shield(favorite which I linked to 1 on Xbox, 2 would be Fast Healing) and just hit 2 when low on health(1/2 of health bar) to heal and restore stamina. Rinse and repeat. If I'm still high on health but the enemy is too far I would, instead of Fast Healing, use Fire Bolt/Ball to cause ranged damage. If surrounded I would cast Fire Rune on my feet to weaken foes(combined with Flame Cloak), and when Dawnbreaker decides to kick in its just wonderfully outstanding! I often don't need potions but I have 5 on me just in case I'm outpowered by my foes. Mages can't harm me(phew!) and foes must deal with all my defense and offense to try to stop me. Not OP but neither is weak. Can't wait to add in the Bloodskal Blade!
