    What is that Armor?

  • November 10, 2013

    It's Ebony Armor, third best set of heavy armor before Daedric/DragonĀ

    This is still one of my all-time favourites, mainly because you've just put it in a picture! Probably the first time I ever saw this done aswell.

    Makes pasting builds up on Ning a breeze I should imagine. Then again, for people with crippling crap broadband speeds (Ben! ) It'd take years for it to load....

    Man, everyone loved the layout and the build, but no one actually played as far as I know ;_; I mean, it's not even mentionned at all anywhere else but here, unlike my Dark Templar which has been play-tested by others... yet I think this build is far more fun and efficient.

    Sure, fits well with lore. With Imperials you get the most out of starting levels for this build and it fits most with the team combat theme, but yeah I guess I could've thought of orcs as well.

    Maybe they didnt play it but thought the concept was awesome and deserving of a 'like'. This is easily one of the best summoner builds on the blog.

    Can genuinely say I played it word-for-word (a rare thing for me, I usually at least tweak something from builds here to suit my style better) and enjoyed every moment. Sole inspiration for my trying mages again. :)

    Oh, that's really cool. Could you tell me more about it? What difficulty you played, up to what level and so on?

    A male Breton, on Expert difficulty (my default). I focused on axes rather than maces, simply for appearances, and played very much the melee game.

    I used your suggestion to focus on being the shield wall and distracting the baddies while the summons dealt the damage. My most common combo was the Flame Atronach and Dremora Lord: I liked having a combination of ranged and melee friends. I even tried having a follower along as well - but after the flame atronach killed 'em repeatedly... Gave up on that. XD

    I ended up making it to level 38-40ish before the next shiny thing (my own build idea I will be posting shortly) caught my attention.

    Stuck with Orc armor over Ebony, simply 'cause I liked the more... Decayed look it had with the theme of the summons.

    I prefered Frost Atronachs and Dremora Lords, the ranged summons always got stuck behind obstacles or killed my followers

    I've been thinking of playing this all over again because it was really fun.
