    Yeah, the vid was a little late to the party! I'll be making my own vids soon so I may revisit this build and see if I can sort out the RP/Gameplay...

    This is way cooler than the Volkihar added by Dawnguard! I'll have to give it a try sometime.

    This is one of my three (so far) most favorite builds on this forum and the best in rang. As I'm a time traveler fan myself (and everything related to speeding time up or slowing it down) I was sold the moment I laid eyes on this one. Making yourself extremely fast while doing the opposite to your enemies could change this builds name effectively in a Time Mage if you would wish so. After playing this game myself for quite some time I have but one little nitchpick and that is that whenever one uses a build that makes you almost impossible to be hit while you can hit freely makes one really overpowered quite fast. And I even used a mod that made enemies 10 times stronger. One question: with Dragonborn installed, using the Dragon Aspect shout first, then the Slow Time shout, will this increases the endurancy of the shout or will time be frozen entirely itself? One BIG Like from me, absolutely deserved! :D

    I have been stalking this build for so long now, almost an year! I decided I really want to try it out, it has always been one of my favorite from the blog. I could really use some tips though to keep the game pleasant (not to OP, not to hard) especially since many patches and DLC's came out, so I guess the build has to adapt to those changes as well.

    Awesome build. Hey btw, how did you get the text to stay right next to the icons?

    By opening the image options and alligning them to the left, text then sits to the right...

    Nice! I've been looking at this one for a while though think i might do a slightly more standard variation for equipment- ie taking smithing up to advanced armors for royal vamp and using a blades sword. For roleplay, rather than doing a recluse or an avenger I think I might do a neutral evil rogue noble taking advantage of the currant chaos to make a move and expand their influence among mortal and vampire alike rather than sit back and plot. This would allow most quests, even the "good" ones (cattle that worship you are easier to control). It also offers the challenge to balance your open face with your need for blood and the "behind the scenes" work.
