    Is that base cost? I also wonder if the Novice-Master perks decrease experience. Of all my conjurations, the two I casted the most were definitely the Bound Sword and the Flaming Familiar. No wonder I leveled so quickly lol. I'm surprised at how low the Bound Bow and Battleaxe are...they are pricey casts.

    Good questions. I originally intended to include ALL summon spells when I started the build. As the character and roleplay developed, he became the heroic sort. If you want to stick to the build, DB and Spectral Assassin is out of the question. If you wanted to go evil, that's totally up to you and both would become viable. Roleplay is always up to the player.

    Call of Valor and Durnehviir are in the build but aren't required for the rank of High Summoner. I kept the requirements inside the School of Conjuration (aside from my beloved Spectral Drum). I used both quite a bit when I got them too. I debated on whether to use Call Dragon or not but ultimately opted not to use him. I already had Durnehviir (who doesn't get enough love) and Call Dragon never felt like a conjured creature for me. It seemed more like a pet that you would whistle for, ya know?

    Dude you've done it again lol. I'm absolutely in love with the pictures, and the main focal point being the whole conjuration tree is just great. Not many people use the WHOLE tree. You've outdone yourself Alastor, just a spectacular build (: not to mention the endless combo of summons you have here. Easy +1. Simply fantastic.

    Thanks Hainesy! I had to dig into the deepest nooks and crannies of internet images to find those suckers, haha! I was originally going to make several summoning combinations but figured it would be way more effective to point out the pros and cons of the majority of summons I used. The build is so versatile with the many different conjurations, ranged and melee weaponry, tons of great support and utility spells. It is a really fun build to play. Thanks for the support as always manĀ 

    The ball is in your court now, bro!

    Hehe! I love the friendly competition you guys have going on!

    I too adore the conjuration tree!! Screw the haters! It's just one of the most enjoyable skills in the game, loads of variety! Very much like what you've done here Alastor and agree with the others about the artwork!

    Mason you can't make more than three builds without at least one of them using Conjuration

    It's true and I'm not ashamed! You're just constantly looking forward to the next perk/tier when you use the school...

    @Alastor

    Also love the work you've done here on the spectral drum! I once tried carrying around a cauldron that I would let hover in front of one of my characters and it's surprisingly effective (and can block arrows too )

    Let's hope my build can stand up to the likes of yours (; yeah I noticed that the build can nearly do everything and whatever it can't, the summons can. Just great work again, I'm a little nervous now :P
