    Does Bladesman work with a conjured sword ? I would only go the 1 point in it but 10% crit would be nice on here.

    It counts as a sword so I'd assume so. I know limbsplitter works on bound battleaxe.

    Yes, I am fairly certain.  I have a few 'conjured' weapons builds.

    Lol awesome build, one of my favorite mage builds, i just couldn't remember the name after the 'revamp'. So of course you got your like from me now :) and yes perks from one-handed effect bound swords. (a little late?)

    Haha, thanks. I don't get why people think weapon perks don't affect bound weapons, they're still weapons!

    WOW, I was really thinking this build had gotten more attention. It deserves it. I hadn't even liked it! I've read through it several times. :)

    It's really friggin old (as in last year old) when likes didn't mean much and people were mainly commenting on builds. Obviously it was lost in the discussion forum when the categories were introduced, and never really got noticed since it wasn't even in the novice section!

    I  love this build and have been playing it nonstop. In the 40s now and still loving it.  Whoever says that nonsense about bound weapons being weak hasn't played this build. I power attack every 2nd or 3rd swing non-stop -- do that with a regular weapon without "cheesy" vegetable soup!  A quick cast of close wounds refills my health and stamina (respite perk) and it's possible to stagger-lock many foes this way.

    As for the necromancy, my undead do drive me batty in tight spaces, especially Falmer dens, etc.  They just don't follow me.  I find myself summoning the occasional Dremora Lord instead, plus lots of fire atronachs.  I am also making hefty use of the paralyze spell - with the Stability perk you can drop people for a LONG time.  This build is so versatile it's awesome.
