  Must've missed your comment Vaz, my bad bro! With Widowmaker, activate Nighteye before Embrace of Shadows. Embrace of Shadows will activate a secondary Nighteye that turns off the ability in case it's too bright due to sunlight. Otherwise, the Nighteye is helpful in dark places. And what glitch do you mean Vaz?

  Shameless Knockoff

  Nah, I'm just kidding. In fact, I knew you were aiming for something different from mine, but damn, they're as different as can be. You definitely get a well-earned like from me.

  Haha yeah I definitely went for a different angle on this one. Regardless, your Quarra build is pretty epic and I wasn't trying to trump it but rather put my own spin on it. If anything, we now have Fellowship Builds! Thanks for the support man!

  It's a really fantastic build Alastor, but to me it doesn't quite fit the Quarra to me... I always saw them as those badass vampire warriors, taking hit after hit and never going down, all the while devastating enemies with a flurry of swords. While you certainly have achieved the awesomely powerful fighter aspect covered superbly, what puts me off is the focus on magic and stealth. The Quarra in my eyes are warriors, the Aundae mages, and the Berne assassins. Big brutish vampiric warriors shouldn't be sneaking, spending time bent over an enchanting table, or casting spells, when they can be unleashing hell on them with weapons and fists! I feel like that whole theme of badassery is slightly dampened by the inclusion of spells and sneaking. Like I said, a really amazing and innovative build, just doesn't really suit the Quarra to me. Not saying you should change it by any means, just putting that out there.

  What you described was pretty much Albino's build, Raidriar. I respect your opinion but I also disagree wholly. The Quarra were never described as brutes but rather physically strong and bold. Their favored skills are Hand-to-Hand, Destruction, Athletics, Long Blade, Acrobatics, and Unarmored. So they aren't entirely non-magical and I included about half of their skill set. Albino included one of their skills, not that it makes it a bad build. Quite the opposite actually.
  
  Additionally, every member of the Quarra had two spells. My end game build uses a healing spell, muffle, and flesh spell. Marked for Death if you wanna count that too. So it's really not overly magical, just a few buffs pre-battle and a healing spell. As far as sneaking, it isn't necessary at all. I just like seeing that Neckbreaker finishing move lol! It's a great/brutal opener to combat.
  
  The gameplay itself I feel justifies all the magical skills. Yeah from an RP standpoint the Quarra probably weren't hunched over Alchemy and Enchanting tables. But the gameplay of throwing enemies through the air and ripping them to shreds with claws was the effect I wanted and Alchemy/Enchanting (or simply Alchemy) was the best way to achieve that unless you'd prefer to stack gauntlets.

  I'm gonna slightly change this build to get the unarmed damage output faster and without crafting using an exploit but still this looks awesome! Can't wait to try it out!

  Just one word......EPIC !!! I love this better than the master monk build that created by nosnake if im not mistaken. First, its because master monk use gauntlets stacking and no shout cooldown (makes game boring, i just OHKO everything w/ marked for death 5 times) but this build totally make me think diffrently about unarmed combat ! Lastly, the first photo is totally badass dude !
