    I was working on a build very similar to this (daggers, light armor, illusion, sneak, and conjuration) - was going to make it my first submission.  It was a little bit different, but the similarites really make posting my build unnecessary.  Oh well, nice build, and you've saved me the trouble of having to type everything out.

    It takes some practice to get the melee range right with daggers - you have to be very close.  Because of your distance to your opponent, it is more difficult, but not impossible, to dodge your opponents blows; which is what I usually try to do if in light armor.  This may explain why Ponty choose to include block with this build.  And in case anyone is wondering, at the higher end weapons, daggers have the most raw damage over time. 

    Valdr's Lucky Dagger fits very well with this build.  The critical damage combined with a sneak attack makes this a deadly weapon (many one hit kills on 'master').  Elemental Fury works with this dagger too.

    So why use frenzy when in the middle of melee with the bad guys? I use it from a hidden position and retreat out of sight or go invisible. It works better if you do that.

    It's very useful if you team up on one guy, so he's taking damage from you and this other guy while you don't take any damage. If you're frenzying normal Forsworn to fight Briarhearts while hidden it's fairly pointless, since the Briarhearts will take barely any damage.

    Mixing shield and dagger is a bold concept, and I wish I had thought on that first. Great character to play, and I can see the game will not get boring, at least not up to level 55 or so, because you always will have to keep focus on the combination block/attack. I just miss some lore to make the build perfect. Anyay, it gets a like cum laude.

    I've added a small vampirism section after many Youtube viewers raised how the build is ideal for being a Vampire.

    it is hard to use illusion spells for me mostly because i am not a fan of the illusion class. is there any other class i can use instead of illusion or will it affect the build if i dont use it at all?

    You could probably go with Enchanting instead, gives you more 'personal' strength rather than relying on enemies to defeat each other.

    thank you so much! i am a huge fan of your work! every idea i think of you have made which helps alot because i couldnt do this myself. i have some ideas you should try like a regular civilian of whiterun or a miner or woodcutter! you did really good with the burglar and the idea that he doesnt even have to fight! i couldnt pull that off! anyways thank you!

    What race is alyssa? And also how do you find Diadem of The Savant, I heard about it being a circlet piece of light armor. When I get, can it be enchanted and/or improved. If it can  be improved, please tell me which Smithing perk if any. Great build anyways, I swear I liked a few months ago, but it seems I didn't.
