    I kinda want to try this as a worshiper of Molag Bal and use the vampire lord form as the transformation, it would make for some supremely evil roleplay value! Great ideas Henson, love the flavor

    You know you're getting a +1 from me for the shout-out alone, right? Lol jk another topnotch build. You're the man, Henson. I've seen nothing but quality from you. For this one, I too recommend some Block perks. Quick Reflexes makes a world of difference and being able to stagger the shit out of your enemies with power bashes helps a ton too. Also, two things I'd like to recommend to avoid the disaster Mason warned about. Hotkey potions and hotkey Become Ethereal. Both can and will save your ass if your Flesh spells run out. Nothing like the ol' vanish and heal/re-flesh trick. My absolute only single criticism of this build is that it deserves some way cooler looking pictures. I'll do my best to scour the interwebs for you, homeslice. Easy +1. PS Elven Battleaxe looks incredibly scythey.

    Hey thanks so much! Come school time, my output of builds is going way downhill, so getting all my playtime in now. I have been blocking a lot with the character to be honest, so I should add a note about that skill tree. Disarming bash is pretty sweet as well as quick reflexes. And yes, I feel like my biggest weakness out of my many presentation weaknesses is the art side. I must be googling the wrong phrases or terms to get better results. Been trying to hit up Magic the Gathering artwork, but sometimes I get nothing. Thanks for looking.

    Not gonna lie, I'm not finding anything spectacular that would fit this build myself either lol. I'll keep looking tomorrow but for now I've got these two if you're interested: http://www.wizards.com/mtg/images/tcg/products/riseoftheeldrazi/f4_npmk9lsbr2.jpg http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/069/7/6/soulcalibur__zasalamel_by_busasami-d4sa4c0.jpg That first one's kinda scythey looking, but dude looks Japanese so I dunno if you'll want that lol. Badass pic though. Second one is the best picture of za-salami I could find lol. Guess he really is an ass cuz not to many people have drawn him lol.

    Thanks for looking, maybe I should pick more google friendly builds ... Or find the artwork first! Yeah it seems that dude is hated EVERYWHERE.

    It's a minors point really though. Pictures certainly help the presentation but your builds speak for themselves, nonetheless. Still, there's gotta be a great picture of some badass mofo with a scythe somewhere out there lol.

    I was lurking around in the Build Archives when I found this. There's a certain charm to this build that appeals to me. After all what could be better than swinging your axe around recklessly like a maniac?

    +1, good sir. (And I noticed that first pic is Zasalamel from the SoulCalibur series, too)

    So, I absolutely love the build, but i was wondering about the Magicka/Health/Stamina placement for each level, what do you recommend?

    If you want the look, I would suggest the Temple Priest robes on in Ravens Rock on Solstheim. Sadly, you either have to kill the guy or pickpocket the robes with Perfect Touch. Also, kudos for the Zasalamel pic.

    I'm sad I never looked at this build before despite it being on your page Henson. I think it's really cool and perhaps even more viable now thanks to the new dlc shouts and items. I imagine great fun could be had with Temple Priest robes and Dragon Aspect as a way of assuming the form of a God.
