    I was actually looking for a build with Block, Destruction, Conjuration and Alchemy as main skills!!!!!

    This is a really awesome build--very unique. I love it! The Argonian in your header image looks so badass. I never was too interested in Orcish armor. But you're right, on an Argonian, it looks absolutely epic! I'll have to try this guy someday.

    Hey Mason, you should put the Argonian race tag on this - was looking for an Argonian build and this one didn't show up :)

    It occurs to me if this was updated with dragonborn content there could be a poison mode with the ebony mail, miraak's staff and poison runes. That kinda sounds awesome I might try something like that.

    Hi Volkan, this is one of those builds that demands a build video to properly sell its playstyle...

    I've currently got an enormous to-do list here on the blog but this build is definitely one I'll be re-visiting at some point, it can definitely be improved.

    Do you expect us to grind the skills? If so, what are the best ways?

    Sorry can you be a little more specific?

    You and I talked about grinding before, so I know you know what it means. And what I am asking is, since you want us to raise these skills up so high so quickly, what way do you suggest that we get the gold to train, or a method to level the skills on their own quickly?

    I have one way: Build a home, have a garden, and plant some Imp Stools and Canis Roots. That's easy gold and leveling Alchemy easily too.

    I guess, like I mentioned before, like to just "play" without having to grind. Is there a way to just play this build without having to have all the stuff so quickly?

    What grinding actually needs to be done KidAnime20? Seems to me like you're just commenting on Mason's builds to complain.

    I was pretty detailed in the walkthrough about what is required. If it sounds like too much grinding then maybe the build isn't for you and you should just pick another. I don't think there is anything 'grindy' about picking up a flame atronach quickly or having the common sense to take an amulet of poison resistance into a falmer den. If it's destruction that's worrying you then like I explained you should visit faralda for training.
