Build Recommendations

    Use The Character Build Archives to find commonly sought out playstyles and builds.

    This is a place where people can ask for suggestions of new builds to play - hopefully it'll spread awareness of some which have got lost under the weight of numbers, and save us from having to rifle through everything when looking for a new character.

    This is NOT for asking for help with your own builds. Please post in the Character Building Help Desk if you need such assistance.

    Example:

    - "I'm getting bored of playing stealth characters. What's a good build for getting right in the thick of melee combat without dying in two hits?"

    - "Mason's Bronze Sentinel build is great if you want to live forever! The fire magic adds a nice twist too, so you won't get bored of hitting things with your sword either. I just bought a new kitten, so I'm totally into Khajiit right now. Know any good catman builds?"

    - "Try No Snakes aLive's Manticore or Grixis' Flame of Magrus. They have a nice mix of warrior and mage aspects to keep things interesting. Do you know any good alchemy builds?"

    ___________________________________________________________________________________________

    Please don't jump right into suggesting people try your build. This is intended as a community thing to help each other out, not for us to get attention for ourselves. ;) But by all means link something of yours if it really is the best fit for what somebody has asked! If you really enjoy a build that's been recommended to you, be sure to give it a 'like'. 

    Also, a few of our members are no longer with us, and their builds posted elsewhere. If you came in here trying to figure out where their builds are, Narm's builds can be found here, Skalvar's builds can be found here, and Jo'daro's builds can be found here.

    Or try the Gaunt Robe!  It's one of the first character builds I ever found on the web.

    Ponty's Nightingale Swordsman build may suit you. It's a oldie, and uncomplicated in terms of perks, but definitely a goodie: http://tamrielvault.com/group/character-building/forum/topics/character-build-the-nightingale-swordsman

    Check out my new build. The Seer

    It is diffidently different than most others.

    It's a little hard to recommend things to you when we don't know what you've tried before, or what types of character you've enjoyed previously.

    Thanks it seems like a build i will enjoy playing and the atheistic is interesting, not generic like other builds I've seen, you've definitely peaked my interest. +1 like and thanks again hope this build gets the attention it deserves.
