    You are correct about Sneak+archery+alchemy. However, think of conjuration and illusion as your armor for diverting attention from you.

    This is like a safer version of my Nightblade. Sit back and snipe, then raise the dead, as opposed to get in and slit throats, then raise the dead. I personally prefer the up close and personal approach but credit to anyone who realizes what incredible synergy Necromancy and Assassinating have with one another.

    Wow. Nice build. Gonna play this on my next playthorugh. I needed something good for a Dunmer. My current Dunmer character is my Chef build (fun but doesnt really fit with any race over another :P ) Like from me!

    I know right? You kill one guy, then he kills another guy, and it goes off the hook

    Congrats on the legendary status, dude. Awesome to see people recognize the worth of combining Assassin and Necromancer.

    I love the build. I was planning on going with this, but adding enchanting, necromage and not having all the mana reduction talents on a vamp. Would something like this work? I'm fairly new to the game so any thoughts are appreciated.

    That would certainly work! Although if you take enchanting, you don't need to take alchemy. You can carry around bows and armor with different enchantments for different situations, because I don't think alchemy is affected by the necromage perk. You could put the perks into smithing instead to improve the weapons effectiveness. While taking alchemy and enchantment would certainly be a potent mix, you won't need the extra damage output for this play style, as you only kill people to make a corpse to fight for you while you watch from the shadows. If you just want to make an ordinary mage/assassin and leave out necromancy though, take both alchemy and enchantment.

    Dude awesome build, I'm new but i really like the sneaky type characters and combining it with necromancy y pretty cool, but i got a doubt, which summon would u choose a dread zombie, the dead thrall or maybe the new wrathman that doesn't need a corpse even though is governed by the necromancer and dark souls perks
