    We had, just a few weeks ago, a contest b/w the master builds (legendary was not a category, at that time).  Paul randomly paired the different builds, and the membership voted in the Character Build Shootout.   Some of the individual round pairings have been edited out, but you can figure most of them out from the membership's comments.

    To no one's suprise, it came down to builds between Ponty and Mason.  You can find the results of all the voting here.

    Mason's Alik'r was my all time favourite as it was very original and still stands up as one of the more fun builds,

    I'd be interested to hear if any of the builds that have come along since that poll have matched or even exceeded the top builds.

    The demonhunter by snakes is currently the most popular build on the site, i think it has transformed the way everyone views the archery skill.
    The perk spread is great but i think the overall concept of an 'aggressive archer' is what really makes that build shine.
    No sneaking, no tip-toeing around bushes, get right in their face and put an arrow in their knee!!!

    Mason's Alik'r is probably still my favorite.  Mason's and Ponty's builds are always high on my list.  In fact, all of the buids from the Character Shootout are wonderful.  But  ignoring the earlier Character Shootout builds, my choice from the newer builds would be 'The Berserker' by Cryptstalker - it is just simple and fun to play - everything just seems to fall into place.

    Rune, I'm currently doing a master difficulty/iron man build that you are going to absolutely love I think. I've noticed that you like classic, earthy, role play builds so this should be one you will enjoy.

    The Orchish Impaler by Skillusionist is a 'front-line' archer and deserves a mention for introducing that concept.

      Eagerly awaiting - and yes, that is a good description of the type of builds I like.

    Hey Mason, when do you think that build will be out? Because Skyrim has finally become boring, and I don't like it. So unless I take another crack at the alikr, or continue the demon hunter or something, I probably won't play for a while.

    I should be set to put it up in the next couple of days Matt, its a risky post because like yourself it all came about from becoming bored with the usual over powered, god-fearing builds. I think anyone who liked the alik'r will give it a go.

    Favorite is the Crypstalker. I was running a variation of it before I got those site and it's definitely my favorite way to play the game. Nothing like killing from a distance, raising the dead, maybe a frenzy spell and letting chaos ensure.
