Hi,
Quickly coming back to Skyrim for the nthing time and I would like to do a full stamina build (I.e all points in stamina)
I'm currently thinking of something along the line of full archery with a speck of Aetherium shield for bashing and Vizage of Mzund to better weaponize the stamina pool... but I'm not 100% satisfied yet.
Does any of you would be kind enough to direct me to build that are using Stamina as tehir main stat ?
Dawnguard Rune Hammer and Shield both have useful enchantments that are essentially magic effects using stamina, much like the Visage of Mzund.
Then again, I like what you have...I'd even go so far as to say that the Visage might be overkill. Stamina-only builds are really exciting because you end up really frail but can basically run or stunlock nearly any single opponent. Crowds can be difficult, but the Aetherial Shield is almost like a fear spell you can cast with stamina, so that's actually a pretty genius method of crowd control.
I'd thin crowds with the shield and then switch to arrows to pick them off one by one. Using my huge stamina pool to run, dodge and bow-bash my way to victory. I agree with Deebs that absorb stamina would be useful, but it can be unbalanced. Maybe something more random like the Black Bow of Fate would keep you on your toes more!
Oh, and really consider going all in on the implications of your stat choice. Don't use any magic or shouts, basically just make sure that you need to rely on stamina for all your powers. Don't wear any armor aside from maybe the Visage and play on legendary to really emphasize your low health. Plus, that leaves you 1-2HKOed by nearly everything on the game so you really have to rely on using stagger heavy mechanics like running and bashing to avoid taking any damage.
