  Thanks Ben. Although sneaking is almost mandatory during the early levels, during the later levels it is just another option.

  Is that better? I was just trying to give an idea of the build since the dragon name is obscure.

  That one conversation inspired the entire build. I just realized I've had over 700 views so I doubt the name has anything to do with the low amount of likes.

  I tried to be more technical because I didn't want RP/flavor to deter people as it did with my Redeemer. I'll have to take a look and see if I can revise anything for better presentation.

  That makes sense. Thanks for the input. I've got some work to do.

  I'm not sure how but I completely missed this. Have been thinking a lot lately about trying melee (two hand in particular) and this is very similar to what I was thinking about, minus the shout reduction aspect. Was playing around with the chaos enchantment recently and fell in love with the chaos+absorbs so seeing this used here instantly got my attention. Using a melee character yet choosing enchanting as your crafting skill gives it an appeal to me, I don't like builds that end up at the damage reduction caps since they always feel indestructible to me.

  With ebony armor I got close to cap, but relied on healing rate and absorb health enchants. Also, with a single point in shield wall and fortify block on the gauntlets I hit block cap. Even on master this build can survive quite well if played somewhat tactically (proper timing of block and shadow stone).

  I don't much like the block mechanic with twohanded so I'd likely leave it out. I really love the idea of a completely over the top rage fuelled berserker who only heals via a chaos enhanced absorb health.

  I love quick reflexes and take block just for that on most of my characters. Relying on chaos/absorb can easily allow block to be skipped. By the end my absorb health was around 70 so mitigating damage mattered a lot less.

  ya i believe you can get absorb to around 90 or so, it's kinda ridiculous :p

  One could probably survive on master with just using robes and alteration for armour with that strong of an absorb, would certainly make for an interesting challenge I wager.
