    Since we're not taking any combat perks in the archery or one-handed tree (until we reach lvl 50+) the only way to increase our damage output is to use fortify weapon skill potions and enchantments.  There's probably only a need to level both crafting skills if you are playing on difficulties above Adept.  Otherwise you could just pick whichever one you like better and be fine.

    Oh, and don't feel obligated to train both skills at the same time.  I focused primarily on Alchemy early on and didn't start leveling Enchanting until around level 25 (on Master Difficulty) because fights started to take too long if I wasn't constantly chugging potions.  By that point I think Alchemy was already in the high 70s or low 80s.  I didn't push it to max level until much later (close to level 50).

    Ah, don't mind me, mate. You could call me an Alchemy enthusiastic, cause I know that using Alchemy in its purest form is more fun and potentionaly mote powerful than Enchanting. That's why I'm usually against two crafting skills. Alchemy can definitely stand on its own without taking perks, so can Enchanting. I managed to play my Greenskin on Legendary, with no or very few combat perks. Damn, I'm babbling again. Sorry. As I said, I really like what you did here and you definitely shouldn't pay attention to my babbling. xD

    This seems like a more traditional take on one of Vargr's more unconventional builds. Both are centered around communication with the dead. And both are very well put together. +1 from me mate!
