    Okay, updated the presentation a bit. I might still change things in the future, but I'm much happier with it now. I might even throw in another ability or two!

    Well, if I ever attempt Alchemy, it would probably be in this build. I've been wanting to play something with Archery and actually use unarmed a fair amount for a while, so this is perfect!

    The only things are part of the presentation, I guess........I dunno if you changed these or if these were there, something about them just seems strange to me.

    Like this: "Did you know that a dragon's ability to shout is tied to their magicka pool? It just drives me crazy. It's probably that at my high school every day there are announcements, and they repeat the same shit for at least one week. So you get to hear the secretary's glorious voice, in monotone, and completely devoid of any enthusiasm, say these things that different groups/clubs have written up, and which are actually supposed to be read like questions, often starting with a "did you know". So yeah, now that I say all that I think that sentence may only annoy me, but when I read it, it reminded me of school (which is a bad, bad thing :P), and I thought of the secretary reading those damn announcements. It put me in a bad mood lol.

    Sorta the same thing with the "less known fact" thing with Auriel's bow. Personally, the triple damage to undead and the whole sun/anti-vampire thing it's got going on with Dawnguard and having to use it against Harkon just screams "USE THIS TO KILL UNDEAD!!!!!!" lol.

    Ok.....I'm done bitching about your two sentences :P

    Aha, I can understand! I'll change them if they're that irritating. The Auriel's Bow bit didn't come out exactly as I wanted it to; everyone knows it should be used against undead, but very few know about it being affected by the likes of Necromage, Augmented Flames and Fortify Destruction. Thanks for the feedback! If you do give it a try please let me know how it goes!

    So I'm currently working on this build and I'm having a hard time choosing which skills/weapon to go for first. Is there something that definitely should be done first?

    Oh ok, I see about the bow. You don't have to change the SoM part, that's probably only me being annoyed lol.

    If I do play it will be in a while, I think I'll need another extended break from Skyrim after the event build I'm helping with.

    Training Archery with Faendal is definitely a good place to start. By the time you've reached 50 you should be around the required level to start Dawnguard. That's a great starter questline, and you can complete the sidequests too to pick up all the crossbow upgrades. Lost to the Ages can be completed early on too, if you bring a follower.

    Excellently done, Raid.

    Thanks DeGroot!

    Just like I told you with the Twilight Warden, a tactics section would really help give readers a better idea of how this builds abilities work with one another. Also, since you have a rather extensive item list, it might make things easier to list them all out in one section as well a explain their purpose.

    Awesome - and I love that 'taper mechanics' is now a thing!
