    Lowly Wood Elf? *Cough* Barbaric, Cannibalistic, Vampiric Keerilth *Cough*

    Haha I was hoping people would get a laugh out of all the Demonhunter links! And thanks a lot! First time I unlocked the ability to end the tyranny of the sun on a non-vampire character this build almost instantly hit me. Knew I had to find a way to take advantage of having nightfall at my fingertips.

    Here comes the obligatory "what do you recommend for stat distribution?" Ok, here goes. What do you recommend for stat distribution

  • September 8, 2012
    Put points into magicka only as you need it to cast your next level of summons. Otherwise, pretty evenly distribute points between health and stamina, if not even more into stamina. You'll need it for your slow-mo sniping, whereas health isn't as important on a build that rarely gets hit when played properly.

    Lol did you even read the build? First of all, you have more than just Familiars at your disposal and there's really nothing all that weak about the Frost Elementals and Snow Bears you can call upon.

    Second of all, you're a stealth archer, and a master tactician at that. Aura Whisper can help you see where your enemies are, Throw Voice can help you bunch them together, summons can keep them distracted, and last but not least, sneak shots can slaughter them. Your goal is to pick them off from afar, undetected, and keep them at bay with Elementals and Animal Allegiance while you continue to shoot at them or search for a better vantage point.

    Quiet casting is the most immediate goal, so you can get into position, call upon your allies, and then snipe your foes undetected. If you need to constantly switch back from your bow to resummon, that can probably only mean one thing: your aim sucks.

    And prior to unlocking Quiet Casting I'd suggest thinning the ranks with a pure stealth Archer route (also, use a Bound Bow early on to level your Conjuration) and then when there's enough enemies left to handle, you can summon some distractions as you continue to pick them off from afar with regular, non-stealth-buffed shots.

    Yo Snakes! What a great character concept and great use of the Kahjiit. Love it. The use of familiars and animals is a great touch to make this an even more powerful build!

    Thanks a ton, Henson. I've always felt that calling upon sabercats to tear your enemies to shreds just feels more right as a Khajiit than Wood Elf or anything else. The beastliest of the beast races should get the beasts, no? And Conjuration's great but Animal Allegiance is my favorite thing in this game. I've stumbled upon Imperial camps on my Stormcloak Barbarian build who uses that Shout randomly while strolling through Skyrim only to find their own horses going apeshit on them. And turning mammoths on giants never gets old lol.

    Thank you much, friend. Probably my last build at least until another significant DLC comes out, especially with Borderlands 2 primed to come out and consume all of my playtime, so I'm happy this build is getting some love. This sort of support is what'll get me to eventually put down the other games and come crawling back here to make more builds.
