    when you talk about the black book power companions insight you say that if you have a follower it should be Serana. But the reason vampire lord drain is so strong is because it also damages health. Serana has a glitch that prevents it from damaging making it only drain. Check Uesp http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Vampire_Lord

    Look under abilities. Also y did you take so many skills?

    I never really used Vampire Lord form. This build works perfectly fine if you were just a normal vampire, but I kept the VL form because you needed it to get The Ring of the Eruidite. Also Why would I use so many skills? Simple: I wanted to

    Ignore Flame Cloak part I must've confused something there is definitely Frost Cloak in the build  Good find on Ring of The Erudite! I thought it just adds +100% to the regeneration

    I timed it out, with the ring on my 300 magicka regenerated in 10 seconds. Without it, my 200 Magicka (took out the 100 magicka from the ring) regenerates in 16 seconds

    Great Build been sifting through them and this one looks ideal for my new build!

    Couple of questions!

    1) what type of gear would be ideal up until I get the dawnguard vampire gear I prefer to do it around level 20 ish.

    2)What about indoor areas like caves and dungeons. I'm not in direct sunlight so the stamina and health not regenerating doesn't apply so do I stay with bows during the day and magic at night or do I go as I please?

    10/10 for this build being trying it out seems a lot of fun and good roleplaying!

    Thanks dude! As to your answers:

    1) Elven. It's probably the best you'll be able to make before then, and since elven bows are light armor bows, they draw faster than their dwarves and orcish counterparts! I was able to get the Vampire Royal Armor by level 15, though!

    2) I meant to add that in. Depends on what you want to do really. Since I had the high regeneration rate, i went with magic, but you can stay in the shadows with archery or mix it up if you want to!

    Ye thanx for the reply!

    I think i'm going to be situational with it depending on what's ahead, with the major magic weakness going in magic blazing will be very risky.

    I'll post more feedback once I've tried it abit more.

    I thought it only did 100% too, it was really vague in the description for it.

    This build is incredibly fun to play! It's good for people who want something different from a normal assassin, theif, or mage
