    Wow, this build makes me want to play through as a vampire which i havn't done in a while because the concept is usually pretty boring and i end up losing interest, this isn't !!

    i have a question, if you choose to use blizzard (simply because i think it looks very sexeh with a female characters graceful movements) will your vampire frost resistance reduce its effectiveness?

    Mason, I would have never tried slow time if not for this build. So awesome, I feel indestructible and I only have the first word so far. And then I became a vampire and wow!! I am now working on stability, wondering if that will further increase the duration? Btw tried to private message you and for some reason it won't let me?

    Sorry John my inbox is blocked to most people, you can leave me a page comment or just ask questions here if you need me though. Glad you're enjoying the build.

    For the armor, it says enchanted elven armor. I don't see any indication of which enchantments you wish or the build to use. Would you kindly tell me which enchantments, or if I'm blind, tell me where in the build they are? Otherwise, +1

    Recovery 2/2 is to offset the atronach stone...

    50% Destruction / 50% Restoration (Helm/Armor)

    Magicka Resistance 40% (Ring/Amulet)

    Fortify One Handed 80% (Ring/Amulet)

    Fortify Stamina 60/Resist Fire (Boots)

    Fortify One handed/??? (Gauntlets)

    LOL!! A year has passed and nobody has ever passed comment!

    I never took master destruction or master restoration with this build, I filled them in because it seemed logical at the time. I've personally only ever earned master destruction with one build (obsidian) and that was with some severe grinding on some cave bears. Master restoration is even worse, I pretty much discount any 'guardian circle' builds as soon as I see them because even master trainers only level you upto 90 and then you have some real work getting to 100 unless you have perfectly timed the oghma and restoration skill books...

    Blizzard would have been a complete waste of time with this character, a vampire/breton....

    Smithing isn't so bad though, I actually iron daggered it with this character upto the arcane smithing perk (60). Then I made a set of enchanted apparel (+100%) and downed a smithing elixir (50%) to hit the high numbers...

    With slow time and ethereal you don't actually need to hit the armor cap.

    I think you only need 90 skill for Restoration, Mason. 100 is needed only for Destruction

    ^This made me crack up when I read this.

    I just started Skyrim again after it being on the shelf to AC, I have never played as a vamp in either Oblivion or Skyrim and this build is a lot of fun and I'm still just starting. I also hard saved at level one so that I can completely play through again from a fresh slate.
