    Hehe! You do so hate change don't you Snakes! Well, lets look for a moment shal we...

    Mark 1 perk spread

    For a start the original character used the ancient knowledge perks armor boost to see it out through the earlier levels until smithing exp and the matching set perk came available much later in the game. That luxury is now gone so I had to invest furthur in Juggernaut.

    "...an impenetrable fortress of steel and sorcery stalking its foes slowly and methodically with shield raised, deflecting blows..."

    It had 1/5 in shield wall and used Spellbreaker (no additional blocking bonus).

    This was for two reasons, 1) we all used to think that blocking ranks increased by 5% and 2) the original sentinel was played and wrote on Adept difficulty, it got knocked around ALOT on higher difficulties...

    Having played both versions now multiple times the new set up is far more enjoyable because there is no longer any holding back, no waiting on specific perks to come available, no grinding at alteration just for that one game changing master perk...

    It's fast and fun and adding dual weilding to this character should have been done long ago because those three perks (just 3 tiddly perks!!) are absolutely awesome and can quickly break the tired slog of sword and board without even entering favourites...

    This build was festering away pretty much forgotton so I'm very glad I did what I did.

    Very interesting indeed! Not sure how I feel about the dual wielding with the Bronze sentinel but other than that the revamp is BADASS! The Bronze Sentinel was always my favorite build from you and you exceeded all my expectations for the revamp!

    Ooh my predictions were right! Although personally I am not a big fan of switching out gear sets. Especially sets that confer magical abilities as when you un-equip it removes from your favorites list so it breaks it up. No magicka investment... Wow you must be really relying on those enchantments.So this is how I can see your magicka pool: 

    • Starting with one hundred...
    • You then acquire and advance the Atronach stone to 85% and and an additional 85 points are conferred. So you now have 185 magicka. 
    • With the apprentice destruction perk ignite costs about 12 magicka. 
    • At the pinnacle of the sentinels power you are packing 65% reduction. 
    • Now it costs under 10 magicka for something that can deal around over 100 points of damage with augment perks.

    Ignite only does 90 damage per bolt without Ahzidal, AoT, or alchemy/potions/poisons.
