Maybe you could try to get a video up for this, since the special moves are quite difficult to understand completly

If you read the whole thing it relies on the apprentice stone too. The exploit is only used to achieve the basic stone abilities and after that its free reign. Masons obsidian sentinel did the same thing. As for the spells and staves other potions are used. Only for the sake of the staff of magnus and the poison rune are they used because it falls under the category. Understand that many people do not like exploits i had tried to make this as fun as possible without breaking the game past the 100% values but I had just wanted to share some new things I found. I did not attempt to make this build boring with a couple exploits.

As for some of you that are having trouble understanding my methods and reason for some of the special moves I will try to fix them soon. Although reading the whole build would easily elaborate on all the special moves as the are all mentioned except for Hourglass.

Sooo, i'm playing this build atm and i have 1 poblem, My staff of Magnus does no dmg to anything.... I been reading on web and on UESP wiki says there is a bug when casted on person or a creature the staff wont do damage.. ( i can't even kill Belethor for instance ) but found nothing to fix it. Anyone reading this have any solution, i have like 9 hours on playtime on this build... There is some supossed fixes on the Nexus mods, but they all basically change the enchant to actually drain life and mana, wich i dont want, even then some people report their staff not damaging enemies...

Perhaps this: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/5705

It doesn't mention anything about not damaging enemies (only one guy mentions it in the comments but judging form 397 endorsements there is most likely something with his game) 

Ive had this problem too. Go back to the instance in labrinthian before fighting the dragon priest and defeat him again. Then test it out on the thalmor on the way out and see if it works. This happened to me once and I just went back to an old save so dont invest anymore time.

 @ Vazgen, yep tried that mod no go lol @_@

@ Adrik Just did what you said, 6 reloads and still nogo, i noticed its drains mp since the thlamor on the door does nothing after a few sec hitting it with the staff, still no hp dmg to him after that even with whole charge lol.

Oh well , time to move on another build lol my Staff on this game seems bugged as f..

What difficulty are you playing on? On Legendary you do 0.25 of your normal damage = 5 damage instead of 20. Maybe you just didn't notice the damage? If it's not the case there should be something with your game. I never encountered that bug myself

On Master, nah, i emptied the staff on him and still nogo, something not right on my game or w/e, because i can remember having on my first playthrough ( back at 2011 with 0 mods, i didnt even know what a mod was..) the staff on Breeze home abadoned , cause seemed crap damage, guess it wasn't crap , just no damage lol

Oh well i'll just leave Skyrim a few days to no get pissed and come back with a new Char lol.

Sometimes mods leave traces in your game. I once installed a mod for more damaging traps and it remained somewhere even when I deactivated it from Mod Manager and removed all it's files. It persisted even on a new started games. Recently I reinstalled Skyrim and Mod Manager and it was fixed. You could've left it at home because of actual crap damage (it was always gathering dust on all my playthroughs) then installed some mod that bugged the staff and it remained somewhere in the game like my deadly traps mod

Yeah, i guess must be that, not erasing all the mods now though, or making a new playthrough with no mods.

I'll try various staff mods on Nexus see if any works i guess, for now i'm going to bed , too much time wasted already with something its supossed to be fun lol.

oh welll ;  ;
