    Oh wow, this is crazy. Just did the math and with 100 smithing, four pieces of plus 29% smithing gear, makes it so with the shield you just barely hit the armor cap using Ebony  armor and a circlet.

    Displayed armor rating should be 637, plus 75 hidden armor bonus, then multiplied by 0.12, give you 85.44 Damage reduction.

    I can't believe I haven't liked this before. One of the first builds I ever played.

    This was the first build I tried on this site back in 2011. It was also my longest and most fun playthrough by far. I didn't realize you updated it until just now. I'll probably try this out again. Question - Does the elemental potency perk or the augmented flames perks improve flaming familiar? I haven't really given summoning a chance in this game yet.

    Neither. The elemental potency perk specifically mentions atronachs and only affects them, and the explosion is 'cast' by the familiar itself, meaning that your Augmented Flames perk doesn't affect it.

    Glad you like the updates!

    Hey Ponty this is a great build and is very well written! I want to try this build out and play a character that truly feels like a dovakiin that would become a legendary hero of the divines and all that, however, I have never tried using the alteration or conjuration tree. While I know that Alteration would be perfectly fine for a hero of the divines, conjuration would not fit into the rp elements on one would he? Is it even worth trying out conjuration or will I be fine without it and not miss out on much? Once again thank you for posting this amazing build +1 from me!

    Depends what you're using the Conjuration for. Could always spec it up for Banishing (you should probably take dual-casting if you're doing that). Might be better off choosing a different path though.
