  I watched you video, and I have to say, that dood has got his eyelashes on point!

  I heard milk makes your eyelashes grow longer, and my boy Valsano is a true milk drinker.

  ... Er, wait.

  I'm a fan, I have to ask, reading the explanation I was a tad confused, but does it only work with infinite Stamina, that's what I got from reading it but the explanation makes it seem like it could work either way.

  Sorry, not sure exactly what you're asking. Does what work either way?

  This trick is basically the same as Mason's Seraphim, only it uses an item with 50 base Stamina rather than 50 Magicka. The result after drinking the three potions will take that enchantment from 50.00 to 78.60. For whatever reason -- we suspect a rounding error, but honestly who knows -- the game will try to drain your Stamina to 0, but it'll see that six-tenths extra in your pool and think it's enough to keep going. And since 0.60 is less than 1.00, the game can't actually deduct additional Stamina from you.

  Steady Hand consumes Stamina while in use, so normally, when you hit 0 Stamina, it will break the effect and you'll have to wait a few seconds for your Stamina to begin regenerating. However, this guy's Stamina never hits zero, it stays at that little sliver indefinitely. Whenever you voluntarily stop using Steady Hand, your Stamina will begin to regenerate immediately (though this is irrelevant, as infinite Stamina means you can use Steady Hand, sprint, or power attack whenever you want).

  I'm not sure if this answers your question, since like I said, I'm having trouble understanding exactly what you're asking. If you can clarify a bit, I'll do my best to explain whatever you need.

  Right, I can see how that would make less sense, that's what I get for re-writing the same thing 10 times..I skip over the question. Anyway my question is more or less answered, I think. Am I correct in saying that this gives infinite Stamina for all uses, Bashing, Power Attacks, Running, etc. not just Continuous Usage

  Yup. As far as we could gather, literally anything that affects Stamina can be done as much as you like, and the bar will never be completely drained. We didn't test with Breath of Nchuak, but I'd be very surprised if it didn't work. Bashes, power attacks, sprinting all can be done infinitely.

  So it finally dropped! I've been saving that exploit for an idea I may still post in the future but I knew somebody would cash in on it before me lol. You can actually acquire Infinte Stamina fresh out of Helgen FYI. This is pretty exploitatious, which I've always been down with, but probably pretty OP too. Of course the player can always nerf themselves. The build itself lacks a lot of roleplay but I think that was mainly due to the Classes Event. By basing builds on a class it's easy to let the reader assume what the character's motives are. I still prefer something to draw me in but I know others don't like backstories regardless so that's just personal preference. I bet those Necromaged, Dual Cast Fireballs really do work on draugr! The prophet build Phil and I posted absolutely destroyed undead with the same concept but Vampire's Bane and Resto potions. Of course, those are stackable so it got pretty ridiculous. Overall, I love the tactics you've used and I have always loved the Bound Bow. Was Steady Aim the main reason for infinite stamina or were there other prominent tactics with limitless energy?

  You wouldn't believe my reaction when I saw this on the sidebar with your name on it... Holy shit it's finally out! First off, Kaicam/Tecser this is a phenomenal build! The work you guys have put into this is brilliant, and it looks like it really paid off. That Locket trick is a great find, how did you come across that? Something that always annoyed me about mages was the need to put points into Stamina to get around, when I really wanted more Magicka to cast spells. This build seems to fix one of the greatest problems mages have faced since 2011! You say it's likely a rounding error that causes the 50 to 78.6 effect to give you unlimited Stamina. You ever tried it with anything that Fortified Health to 50? Should be an item of Eminent Health if I remember correctly. I wonder what would happen... :D The screenshots are stunning, and that first picture is something else... I love finding artwork that you just know has to be a build header. Anyway, I've said enough. I'll leave it at "Great job Kaiser and Teccam!" +1
