    Do you need to keep wearing St. Jiub’s locket to keep the effect

    Yes. If it is removed then the fortified bonus will be removed and you'd have to drink those potions again and equip the locket again.

    As all others said, it's a great build guys, in all of its parts! +1

    It opens the doors to a new generation of builds.

    Thank you!

    Fresh out of Helgen? Interesting! The earliest I know of is level 10, with a Potion --> Draught and a +40 item (i.e., "Major Stamina").

    James and I discussed a few other uses for this a while back. He was really interested in applying the infinite Stamina to the Dawnguard Rune Shield and/or Hammer. Free Stendarr's Aura and free Fire Runes for days! He also pointed out that with the Gauldur Amulet --> Potion of the Healer --> Philter of the Healer, you can get the Seraphim's infinite Concentration casting AND the Sapiarch's infinite Stamina.

    There's still a lot of possibilities here, so I'm very interested to see what you've got in mind!

    Steady Hand was definitely our biggest draw for the infinite Stamina trick, that was determined very early on. The sprinting and power attacks are really nice as well though.

    Thanks, amigo! James actually first discovered it around the time Mason posted the Seraphim, haha. We got super lucky that no one else published a build with it, as there were at least one or two others on the blog who knew about it.

    Thanks a lot, Raid! I've said a couple times now, but we owe that locket trick (among others) to James. I hope he sees this sooner or later! (Plus that would mean I'd get a chance to pester him for new tricks!) 

    As Al said, it doesn't work with Health. No idea why, James couldn't figure it out either. There was a period of a couple weeks where James, Parabola, me, and a couple others were testing/experimenting with this stuff pretty thoroughly, but we just couldn't break it open like we would have liked.

    Honestly I don't think it would be worth the time to make them or the extra ingredients to harvest. Personally, I didn't have a single time where my bow ran out on me in the middle of a fight. Individual encounters never lasted anywhere near that long for me, and in dungeons, you always get a chance to reapply the spells (cloak + weapon) between encounters. With this guy's Magicka pool and regen rate, spell duration just isn't an issue.

    I'll talk with Kaiser about the bow and see if there's anything we might say to sell it a bit more. Thanks again for the feedback!

    Wow, thanks Anderson. That's some high praise! You've always been highly supportive of my builds, and that means a lot to me, buddy. I'm glad Kaiser and I were able to deliver to you. 

    Sidenote: This build already has more comments than Kaiser's Warden ... I don't understand how that build hasn't hit Legendary yet (it's getting close though!).

    For some reason that chair scene reminded me of this
