    Hey Mason, i dont see it in the thread so i'll ask. What stat distribution did you use for this sorcerer? Awesome build by the way

    Thanks Zero

    It's a 1:1:0 on the stats...

    Not much need for stamina because power attacks slow down your kill speed during combat and you have respite/restoration for traveling.

    wow awesome response timing . So whats your favourite enchantments for armour?

    That really depends on which spells you use the most, as he covers in the build.  I prefer Restoration and Conjuration, since the former being free makes you a godly tank, and the latter just costs lots of magicka to use.  For boots, I always recommend Muffle.

    Destruction/Restoration split is usually the best, or Destruction100/Restoration50/Conjuration50 can be pretty sweet.

    Elemental resistance's on boots, one handed/? on gloves.

    I havent been playing this build too long. but i think i might be leaning to destruction/ restoration. Havent actually played skyrim that much so dont understand all dynamics yet

    Fortify One-handed is barely going to impact damage on an unperked silver sword, though, innit?  I'd go with Magicka and Carry Weight.

    It would barely effect it at all, I usually never even got round to enchanting gaunts with this build though...

    Fortify Magicka/Fortify Alchemy would probably be the best combo if you're following the build to the letter.

    I did fortify dest/rest on the helm and armor, then a necklace with fortify conj/alt. Then I have two ring hotkeyed for more fortification, one for dest/rest and the other for conj/alt. typically keep the c/a ring on. Usually the first things I do in a fight are a skin spell and a summon, the necklace/ring combo keeps it low enough. Then I switch rings and bring up my sword or a destruction spell, and a healing spell. Once you have that ring on, with the armor too close wounds was something like 11 magica. And I usually clear a whole dungeon before even bothering to check if I should recharge my weapon or not. I even stopped carrying potions, poisons only.

    Man, you gotta use those Fortify Destruction potions though, mate!  It's amazing what it does to damage.
