    What is a good lvl cap for a build? i was thinking taking mine to 50 is that still ok or to high? 

    40-50 is generally a good area as that's realistically as high as one playthrough will get. 65 isn't outlandish with a lot of skills, but the level cap, 81, is never really necessary.

    I agree with Zon in that is normally optimal, but I would add that a build is complete when you feel it is. Sometimes a character only has a limited objective or story you want to tell. In those cases, completing the objectives which define the character or story can be more important than skills or perks. By that time the progression of the build will hopefully be apparent for anyone who wishes to follow your build passed the point at which you completed it. Their sword arm gets stronger, their spells more powerful etc... :) You as a builder have told the story or presented your concept as you wanted, and often that is more important than a concept of a cap or optimal end point.

    perfect ^^ i wanted to stop at 40 but i have still a few questlines to do for Dragonpriest Masks Artifacts and i just started Dawnguard the Main story and am halfway through the College at lvl 32 :D so i'll probably stop at 45 or 40 or even 50, i asked because i didnt want to overlvl ^^ i could actually do a reasonable level 25 perk spread for him ^^ i'll include both :D

    Hey guys, what red Heavy Armors are there?

    I don't think there are any truly "red" heavy armor sets, but daedric and dragonbone have red accents and heavy chitin armor is sort of reddish. General Tullius's armor and Azhidal's mask are also reddish.

    Heavy Chitin is probably your best bet. I always forget but is the Red Dawnguard Armour light or heavy? I think it's Light but I never really use that particular set/colour so I can't remember for the life of me. Oh and Chris, on PS4 there is a whole series of re-coloured armour sets that somebody did awhile back. There might be a more red looking armour in there.

    Other than whats been mentioned the only other armor that has bit of red in it is that heavy Imperial armor I think. Though it's only the surcoat/ sleeves. solitude shield is heavy as well if your going to be using one.

    A question on integrating Ordinator into my elementalist. (fire and ice +resto & alt; alchemy) Level 37 M=460, H,S =100 wears furs

    Yesterday I read that you can load Ordinator into current current play throughs. I can see I can painlessly weave them into her story ( I have a log of circumstances of each of my level-up so I'm sure I can retro it).

    My question is, the higher ele perks seem to add area of effect to every spell, for always, once you select those perks? With higher sneak now, I am intending to solo sometimes, to delve rather than distroy. But at the moment, I have my dawnguard companions, and sometime in the future there will be a reckoning with the Stormcloaks and War. I hate to think what Mook + aoe does to the breaking/defending of a seige.

    I only use the spells (and shouts)  I find, that are compatible with her calling, ie Flames, Fire Bolt, Frostbite, Oakflesh, Healing. I've opened Healing Hands and Flame Cloak, and Steadfast Ward but I'm still trying to include it in my gameplay.   ( I'm technically a bad gamer). Celann has the best fireproof shield I can find. So at level 37, she's still underpowered, and will be stuck in furs until she finds a better Flesh Spell.

    I'm attracted by Ordinator because it seems so easily story driven.

    Hi all so I have posted two builds in my twenty-one build series so far. These are the first two builds I've ever posted so I am really looking for constructive criticism as I want to use the same format for every build and want to perfect that before I go onto my third one. The link for the tag for both them is here: https://tamrielvault.com/group/topic/list/tag/3253/group/3

     

    Please take a look and let me know what you think. thank you!

    I'll drop by the second build and see if I can offer any comments to improve the builds. I think I'm sorta digging the presentation though, so not sure if I have anything that's negative to say.
