    Yeh-huh. I changed the tag, if that's what you were referring to, I don't know why I didn't change it sooner, thanks.

    Nelaf, in this sentence next to your picture are you saying that being ethereal helps you remain undetected?

    Even in the Mortal Realm, your ethereal stature and unknowing visibility is extremely nifty, this is whilst crouching, so as to not be detected whilst ethereal; It is the best thing next to casting invisibility, to avoid detection.

    Also, I know it's been a long time since you played but does the Ebony Mail's poison cloak work while Ethereal? If so, do you know if it stacks with any other cloaks already in effect such as the Dunmer's Ancestor's Wrath power?

    Lastly, allow me to belatedly offer my congratulations on such a superb build. Awesome stuff

    "Also, I know it's been a long time since you played but does the Ebony Mail's poison cloak work while Ethereal? If so, do you know if it stacks with any other cloaks already in effect such as the Dunmer's Ancestor's Wrath power?"

    Yes, it stacks!

    Are you sure about that? UESP says that no two cloak types can exist at the same time, and that it includes the Shadow Cloak and Ancestor's Wrath (along with the three elemental cloaks, Wind Cloak, and maybe one other that I'm forgetting). I've never bothered to test myself but UESP is usually pretty reliable with this type of info.

    Thanks Ben and Anderson! But would that actually work? I mean, can the poison damage of the Ebony Mail effect undead?

    Not sure if it does now, but according to this guy, it did affect draugr as of patch 1.6. Not sure about other undead. It doesn't seem like it should be able to affect any undead, seeing as it's listed as poison damage... I might have the Ebony Mail on my old Regulator save file, I'll try to test it out if I do indeed have it.

    BTW, Phil, the direction you're taking this next build is really awesome. I'm getting really antsy to see it happen.

    Just tested it. Confirming that Ebony Mail's Shadow Cloak definitely does affect draugr and skeletons. Will try to test it against dragons and vampires as well.... And yeah, Anderson and Ben are correct: The Shadow Cloak effect does remain active while Flame Cloak is in effect.

    I'm also going to see if a Fortify Destruction potion will boost the DPS on the Ebony Cloak, because why not? If it does, think how lethal you could be with Become Ethereal + Aspect of Terror + Fortify Destruction potion + Ebony Mail + Flame Cloak/Ancestor's Wrath.... With max Alchemy and some generic gear, you can get 100% Fortify Destruction, or double damage. 27 DPS via the Flame Cloak + 8 DPS via the Mail = 35 base, potentially 70 DPS if the Destruction potion affects both. (Or even if not, still a very solid 62 DPS.)

    And now this is just totally off topic. Sorry Nelaf.
