    Mine focuses on destruction and bound weapons for sneak attacks, but I use destruction outside of stealth (don't pay attention to what TZ did and never leave stealth, if you get detected, exit stealth and start shooting them with destruction magic)

    So I based mine off of a nightblade and then made something completely different...

    This build...I wish there was a "favorite build on the site" button. This just feels like it was custom-built for me, and it's so easy at high levels to add in new skills thanks to the early focus on stealth, magic, and some combat. Freaking perfect and so easy to get into.

    Holy cow. This build is epic! It combines my three favourite archetypes. You sir, have created my new favourite build. I mean, I thought the Cryptstalker was awesome, but this is amazing. (I still adore the Cryptstalker though, don't get me wrong) a massive +1

    I agree with you man, we need a favourite build button. Problem is, I'd probably keep changing mine, cos there are too many awesome builds!

    I've just got the Ancient Shrouded Cowl, but I can't seem to equip anything over it. As soon as I try to equip another piece of headgear, the cowl unequips. What do I do now?

    That's weird; it still works for me, at least as of last night. I guess you'll have to choose between the aesthetic superiority and slight magicka boost of a cloth hood and the full set perk bonuses of a light hood. Or become a vamp/werewolf and use the stacking glitch? You sure you have the ANCIENT Shrouded Cowl though? The one from Hag's End? Only that one is glitched to allow additional headgear.

    Thanks, Samjt! This build holds a special place in my heart as my first posted, AND as just plain hella badass fun. Glad you feel the same. And yes the Cryptstalker is essentially the ranged cousin to this build's melee approach and a favorite of mine as well!

    Yup, Ancient Shrouded Cowl. I'll try the Vamp/Wolf glitch, didn't think of that from your Master Monk. Are you a Khajiit? I googled it, and apparently the glitch on the cowl only works for them (and possibly Argonians) because it doesn't fit on their face or something. And what's that star on your avatar picture?

    And on TZ, Ben C and Skalvar? Is that something to do with Emer being the new owner of the blog? Am I even allowed to know about this lol?
