    Hi there. I was wondering if anyone could direct me towards some good war archer builds with a heavy focus on shouts?

    Thanks in advance :D

    It...is surprisingly difficult to find a build that really combines Archery and Shouts in major ways... I know a couple but they tend to be a bit more stealth based than 'War Archer' would suggest. Would not mind some further information on what your searching for so I can narrow it down a bit more, or maybe shift around my search patterns a tad.

    Sorry, kind of wrote this in a rush so didn't put in many details. Basically ideally I want a close range fighter archer, simular I guess to something like the Boiche Seeker. I don't mind what side skills it has but would prefer limited stealth, cause that's what all my archer builds tend towards and I'm kind of bored of them. I would like shouts to be at least a minor focus of the build. Oh and I also have access to mods if that helps. Thanks :)

    Hmm...alright yeah that's a bit clearer. I'm not usually one to do this, but my Veiled Scribe seems to be a pretty decent fit for what your looking for. It uses a lot of the same ideas as the Boiche Seeker, but focuses almost entirely on using Bow-Bashing and other similar non-arrow bow techniques to create a weirdly interesting playstyle. Up close, there's a bit of stealth but not much since Bow Bashes from stealth aren't exactly super damaging.

    I'll try and think of a couple other options if I can, but that's the only thing that really springs to mind.

    I have just what you're looking for, The Wildfoot: mid to melee range archer with a focus on shield bashing, use of Miraak's staff to trap all sorts of npcs (no matter the size), heavy use of shouts like Unrelenting Force and Cyclone... and no stealth at all!

    Happy playthrough! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to post questions in those discussions.

    Hello everyone. I really love the Nightingale armor, so I was wondering if there were any high-rp Nightingale builds on the site. I don't really mind the skills involved, and I don't mind mod use.

     

    P.S. Sorry if this is really easy to find, i'm quite new to the site.

    If you want to play a PURE thief, as in no combat whatsover, look no further than The Thief. I put plenty videos in the build of me clearing entire dungeons of values without initiating combat at all. If you don't like the no combat idea, look over the Nightingale Swordsman or The Greenskin. Neither build uses mods.

    Hey guys does anyone know of a sneak archer build that has good options for when they get caught out? And I don’t just mean using daggers when in close range, but having real survivability, also to be put to good use when facing bosses that you can’t repeatably get sneak attacks on unless you spam invibisibilty/potions which I find cheesy and boring. Thank you :)

    Hmm, that's a tough one...Most of the archer builds I can think of are designed more to not be Stealth Archers in the first place just because it's what I personally enjoy. The DemonhunterHuntressBoiche SeekerRaven - Lady of the Reach or Sapriarch are all really good archer builds that I don't think would require an awful amount of editing to work for what you want. Out of them the Demonhunter or Sapriarch defintiely aren't focused on stealth naturally so would work perfectly well with the addition of it.
