    Thanks Phil. 

    Teccam, I'm pretty sure you would've forgotten to revamp the build altogether if I didn't constantly nag you about it.

    Alright I played this build with PerMa and Moonlight Tales and it is a blast. I'll admit I struggled a little for the first few levels trying to use clothing instead of full suits of armor like your suggested armor set but that  goes away if you invest in your blocking skill with a few perks. Overall this build is great, here take my like.

    Have all the likes!

    Thanks for the rundown of what changed.  I really like the new armor combo and the focus on beast form as a high-risk, high-reward slaughter.  Could you explain the ring glitch to me in more detail?  I've heard about it before, but never tried it.

    Thanks! Basically, if you have the Cursed Ring of Hircine forcibly equipped and you try to equip another ring (only works with the six rings added by the Dragonborn DLC, the Ring of Bloodlust is used in this case), it won't equip that ring, but it'll permanently give you that ring's effects. Thus, once you complete Ill Met By Moonlight and can remove the Cursed Ring of Hircine, you can equip a ring of your choosing (a self-enchanted one in this case, though the Progenitor switches to the regular Ring of Hircine as necessary) and you'll receive its benefits along with the ring you "equipped" earlier (again, Ring of Blooodlust in this case). In short, you basically have two rings for the price of one equipment slot.

    It's an easy glitch to perform, but if you're looking for an easy way to test this, use this glitch with Ahzidal's Ring of Arcana, as you can easily check whether or not it's working by simply looking at your spellbook and checking whether or not you have Ignite and Freeze.

    Oh, cool, so you could have permanent Ring of the Hunt too?  That's beyond awesomely broken.

    Does everything persist even if you cure your wolfy traits and maybe even become a vampire?  Most of the rings wouldn't do anything for you, but the Ring of Necromancy might be interesting on a vampire lord, if that works...?

    Yep. In fact, another one of Teccam's builds does exactly that. I'm fairly certain this works even if you're a vampire or simply normal; after all, you don't need to be a werewolf to do Ill Met By Moonlight, but the Cursed Ring of Hircine will still forcibly equip itself to you, so the glitch should still be possible.

    Does anyone know what the armor suggestions were for the update? I think it's in a graphic but, obviousl, the pictures are not renderin. The build looks really great, though.
