  To clarify, you played this character for a day to come up with a build, or it took a day to write everything up and polish it?

  It took me a couple hours to write.  It took a day to playtest it, not counting some false starts to figure out which way to go.

  The builds are really short. Instead of posting 3 in a day spend time to flesh them out and put some care into them.

  Now I get what makes the confusion in the comments for your builds. When people here suggest playtesting builds they didn't mean that you haven't played the build at all. What they're suggesting is playing your builds extensively from the first to at least level 30. The long time spent on a build gives you an opportunity to find weaknesses that become apparent only in time and develop methods for counteracting them. The builds are guidelines for people to play the game and they will not choose the build that no one (even author) didn't played for a long time. The extensive playtesting ensures that there is at least one person who played the build to high levels and enjoyed it

  This is one of my favorite characters.  I play him a lot, but the initial training, plus acquiring the basics of his kit were gotten in the first day.  I have fought everything I could conceive of with him, Miraak was the hardest because he moved around too much.

  Were your other builds posted in the past days played as extensively as this?

  First of all, I never asked anyone to Like anything.  Right now, I'm going through my old builds, and seeing what you do Like to better please you.  If some of them fall to the Death Match (Thanks for the info, very concise, and informative) then that's fine with me.

  People on this site may spend weeks on their builds, but I'm not one of them.  If you want me to go back to the Walls of Text detail, I sure can, but the Cookie Cutter Presentation was developed over the past few days responding to comments that they were too long, and detailed.  I'd love to experiment more if you all would let me, that's how I started with my first builds here.

  Oh, and the same comment you just responded to said I read the memo.  I'm reading all I can to survive here, but it's more than I can digest in the first week.

  Depends on the build.  Woadir isn't that kind of build, he's disposable.  With that exception, I load them up from time to time for a different experience from whatever I was playing before that.  I've run out of fresh content (In the game) again, so I am forced to make my own.

  Let me rephrase my question. Was any of your builds played consistently to high levels (30+)?
