    Would it be okay to use the actual Morag Tong armor instead of Linwe's?

    What's the stamina health and magicka spread?

    I asked this very same question, Mason replied -

    If playing on lower difficulties a straight 0/1/1 is fine, if you're playing on master then 0/3/1 will keep you alive.

    I looked into this, Linwe's actually comes out being stronger if NOT taking the Advanced Armors perk in smithing necessary to double the armor rating of the Morag Tong armor.

    If I'm wrong someone correct me...

    In DragonBorn, they should've made where you can join the Morag Tong,
    If or when I do this build, Im gonna wear the Chitin Armor or kill one of my fellow Morag Tong and get their's although my character would be on the run after Morag Tong found out that my old childhood friend Gabrielle joined the Dark Brotherhood, fearing I was spying, they tried killing me so I ran to skyrim and got ambushed...that would be my way...if only you could join Morag Tong../: But I havent done this build so I may just keep it to you're way of doing things although I love the Dark Brotherhood.. and when they all die...its so sad. lol

    Mason, I remember having a lot of fun playing this when you first published it.  Now that Dragonborn is out, and Patch 1.9 is imminent, it seems like it won't work quite the same as before.  Would you stick with the Linwe armor, or would you try out Morag Tong armor?  (Or maybe mix and match Linwe with Blackguard?)  Do you recommend any Black Books, new items, quests, etc. from DB?

    And most importantly, with patch 1.9 correcting the Ebony Blade so that it governs Two-handed completely, do you suggest dropping the Ebony Blade?  Or using Two-handed weapons the whole time so the Ebony Blade is most viable?  Or using and perking both One-handed and Two-handed?  Or just playing exactly the same as before, and relying purely on the Absorb Health to do damage, despite the Ebony Blade becoming both slower and physically weaker without benefiting from the One-handed skill?

    It's difficult to answer your questions without trying it all out again myself Easily. Bethesda have a nasty habit of cocking up my builds...

    The new morag tong armor is what I'd debate first, Twisted used it in the demonstration video and I'm still not sure I like the look compared to the linwe set. Walking crabs don't have the stealthy look...

    The main thing to look for here though is the changes to the ebony blade, that's a headache.

    Dropping one handed isn't an option, it's a stealth build so using two handed isn't the correct path. I'll just have to see how viable the ebony blade is running purely on the absorb health enchant.

    Not sure when I'll have chance to test all this though, not got any plans to re-run this guy...
