    I see, but I use the unofficial Skyrim patches, everything up to date, and that glitch with the summons is out. Also, I try not to use summons too much as the game is already easy, I use Arniel's shade instead, coupled with lightning bolts and a silver Tanto (from Immersive weapons mod) and I use the chaos enchantment too, without any exploits, I do 151 DMG with it and I am quite happy with that, I just hope it won't brake the gameplay though. I am unsure if I should go for 100% destruction cost reduction or not, if I should go with the extra effect perk or not, these 2 things might make the game way too easy.

    You say the games become too easy but it's you that's made it so. Get rid of the chaos enchantment, there's really no need for it. I'd say no the 100% destruction spell cost too, as again, that'll make the game even easier and to me that's no fun. Seen as though the unofficial patch fixes the absorbing your own summons, I'd get the atronach stone but I'd keep the stone in its original state as you'll want to be able to cast your flesh spells and summon spells without relying on a magic based enemy for magicka.

    Yeah, seems to happen sometimes on ning, not sure why...

    It can be a pain in the ass to fix as well...

    In the video, at 1:25, the sword "The Cauterizer" is enchanted with two effects? Shock and Fire? Because the build tells that the perk "Extra Effect" is only to be taken at level 30.

    Thanks in advance

    That video isn't me. Also the build doesn't state that the extra effect perk should only be taken after level 30. It says that at about level 30 the extra effect perk should be ready to be taken.

    Love the build. I have an altmer sorcerer currently and was thinking of trying an orc. A question though: does berserker rage double the damage of weapon enchantments? Or does it only double the physical component of weapon damage? One of the wikis says physical only, but I've been searching all over and haven't been able to verify this anywhere. Thanks

    Oh, I see. Thanks for the clarifying.

    I was actually unsure what you were asking Liucks as you didn't seem to have a specific question but I'm glad you got your answer somehow. Lol!

    I don't see on UESP where it specifically mentions enchantments, but I'll take your word for it.  I agree it does make sense that it wouldn't affect them though.  Just trying to find a good race for a sorcerer besides Breton and Altmer.  Thought Berserker Rage might make orc an interesting choice but I guess not.
