    Its up to you entirely (that's why I only build up to 25, lets people tailor it to their playstyle) just keep in mind the Witch doesn't use enchanting or any enchanted weapons (or any weapons at all in mine's case)

    I just got the Armor Of The Old Gods set, but unfortunately, the gloves and boots aren't displaying properly. It's sort of killing it for me lol. The pickpocketing has been a chore to get up. Any tips on efficient ways of leveling it?

    Steal arrows. Just go into a city, and sneak around to all the guards and take their arrows - you don't need to be hidden to do so but you have a higher success rate. You really only need 1 or 2 perks in Light Fingers to have a 90% (max I believe) success rate.

    This is the next build I want to play (yes, I'm working my way through ALL your builds, hehe) ... and I just had a quick question:

    Where do you see her going after level 25?  I only ask because without the usual smithing/enchanting route (up the armor/magicka, reduce spell cost, etc) does she just keep wearing Armor of the Old Gods forever?  I can't think of any other "found" armor that would really suit her.  Will Alchemy cover all the bases?  I haven't done a serious Alchemist before so I don't know.  Just wondering if she continues on this same path or learns some new tricks.

    Also, from a RPing standpoint she seems like more of a loner than a College of Winterhold or Thieves' Guild type.  That's not a bad thing, I'm just trying to plan my playthrough. :-)  Do you see her as a Dragonborn?  Oooh I'm excited.  Can't wait to use the poison/pickpocket combo! =)

    Armor of the Old Gods has some pretty strong enchants, but on most of my characters (that reach this level) I usually find myself investing in Enchanting around level 40 - I've already got all my core skills more or less maxed out. Just enchant a set of Forsworn armor for your own effects if you want. You could even do this earlier with a relatively small skillset of 6 (Sneak doesn't count, you only need 1 perk in it!). I think she could definetely be a Dragonborn, your Shouts would probably be Frost Breath, Ice Form, Aura Whisper and Throw Voice.

    Thanks!  I know you usually leave your builds @ 25 to let people finish on their own, but you had such a great concept with this character I was just wondering what you would do.

    I'd stack magicka until you hit about 200, considering you aren't using weapons for the most part, and then go about 3/1 in Magicka/Health.

    Oh and welcome to the Blog! Have a look around!

    I used self-made potions to buff me up during Dragon fights (restore magicka, fortify destruction, fortify magicka, fortify magicka regen) and didn't have too many issues. Otherwise you seem to be going pretty good!

    Ponty, somehow this build has slipped beneath my radar. It's awesome. Love the look and theme. I may never roll it myself since I'm on console, as I foresee a lot of menu juggling were I to try, but if any build so far has made ms jelly of you PC Master-racers, it's probably this one. Might just be my favorite build of yours even, which is saying quite a lot. Good stuff. So good, in fact, I almost want to repost it as my own in a week! Trolololol.
