    That's good then, I enjoyed the video and I like the use of destruction with it.

    You just need a bound shield releasing now  :P

    Impressive build as always Ponty! My only question is why use the Shrouded Shoes? You don't use any equipment that has any weight to it, so you don't make any movement noise anyway.

    If you have the Silence perk you wont need the boots, without it and just Muffled Movement you do.

    Bound dagger! Love it. Didn't think destruction fire spells would fit, but it is perfect for the "uh oh, I am spotted" moment and also great tactics for sneaking. Awesome stuff, Ponty.

    My equipment total would weight about 5pts, and the only other clothing boots that have enchantments on them are the 40% shock ones from the Archmage Quarters. I tried to avoid getting hit in the first place, and sometimes I forgot to use muffle! Plus it saves perks in Sneak early on

    Is the bound dagger bugged or something? Using it to sneak attack someone seems to attract more attention than a normal dagger.Maybe I am just imagining things...

    Maybe, I didn't seem to have issues with it (I'm using Unofficial Dragonborn Patch though) but to be entirely honest it seems a bit ridiculous how attacking with a dagger makes virtually no noise

    I'm going to call of my arcane marksman play through to play this. 

    Reasons:   Want to try out the BD and this looks pretty fun. Plus 1 in an instant ponty. 

    Why fire magic? It doesn't fit with being a vampire. Perhaps frost or shock but not fire. Also what did you do in the beginnings?  I assume you know that you can go to solstheim from lvl 1, so you could pick up the bound dagger and a few  other things. 

    Think I will join the dawnguard side, as thats my favourite.
