    I have no doubts about you play testing this, but I still have to warn you. Sometimes, when you increase Sneak by a value bigger than 100% the game bugs and resets the skill to a very low value. To be more specific, if you increase Sneak by 102%, the game may reset it to a skill level of 2. This thing happened to me at least once on a sneak based character. Everyone would detect me, regardless of perks. I don't remember if I had the latest patch version, however.

    Not sure if this is related, but I know that in older patches, Fortify Sneak actually made you more likely to be detected the higher you went. That is, at +20%, you're more likely to be detected than at 0%; at 50%, you're more likely to be detected than at 20%; and 100%, you're more likely to be detected than at 50%; etc.

    That was fixed in one of the more recent official patches, and it should still work correctly as of the current 1.9.x. However, I've never specifically tested at over 100%, so it may be a different bug altogether and it may still be the case as of the current patch.

    If that is the case, Raid -- and you should definitely verify either way before making any changes -- you could simply drop one of those Stealth perks and pick up restoration Dual Casting for that taper fun.

    Well. The POWER...This thing has the potential to be nearly illegal in how fast it gets but i like that you managed to make it seem, well like it isn't redicioulsy overpowered. Great build this one so here have a +1..

    Hey Raidriar, I'm back from a long time on Destiny to give you my like +1 for this incredible build. I like it in every its part and it'll be my next playthrough on Skyrim, but I prefer (if you are agree) to join the Dark Brotherhood to use the Windshear. In this way (I can confirm it), you can beat a dragon without the need to have a follower with you. The sad part is that I'll can't take the redguard clothes by Nazir.I'll try to think a valid alternative for the look.

    I love necromage vampire builds, with no crafting skills and 0 AR all together on a Legendary experience, as you probably remember, so you have all my approvation.

     Again, an all around great job!!!

    Theres a face I havent seen in a while.

    Getting back to the build. You did a fantastic job with this raid. There are tricks in here i didnt think possible. Theres nothing I love quite like a build that shows me something new.

    I think they might have fixed that. The Berne also took advantage of stealth bonuses to render her harder to detect. It got to a point where detection avoidance was so high nothing short of touching the enemy directly cause enemies to react.

    Wow.

    Just... wow.  I think I'm insanely jealous of this build, mostly because I've not been inventive enough to come up with anything like this.  My poor Strahd wannabe wouldn't stand a chance against this dervish.

    Seriously, a definite +1.  I think it's safe to say that when I finish up the Concoctionist event build that I recently started, the Mirage is gonna be my next play-through.

    Ooh... Now that sounds like a fun idea. I'm fairly sure Henson's Khulari uses a paralysis theme, though that may be for a spellsword. Could be a wicked combination of an ice assassin and shadowmage.

    I was practically invisible unless bumping into enemies, so I'm fairly sure either I that has been patched out or fixed.
