    Thanks for the suggestions, @Vaz and @Phil. Just to be clear, are you guys using the numbers at the end of the url (e.g., the first image is #0 rather than #1, and the 39th image is #38) or are you using the actually sequential number (e.g., when you say #39, you're talking about the 39th image)?

    Imgur albums make this needlessly confusing. :s

    Really cool build, not a fan of the glitches because they are patched on PC but innovative and brilliantly presented all the same

    This is what happens when I scan a build, insta-like, and come back to it the next day. Everyone's said what I already wanted to; great lore, excellent (unique?) use of unlimited stamina without becoming too OP, and it ticks a lot of personal boxes for me. I love archery, bound weapons, Altmer, and alchemy.

    The video turned out better than I thought it would, tbh. It's looking great and a nice showcase of the build's powers.

    I am just so massively jealous of your screenshotting abilities, tho. You have a gorgeous setup.

    (PS. It's Exemplar now!)

    I used URL numbers (didn't find any other way to count the images )

    Aw man, even the infinite Stamina trick? That's a bummer ... I'm curious to know how they pegged that down, if it does indeed not work with the unofficial patches. I spent a while digging through TES5Edit and the Creation Kit trying to figure out how it works, and so did James. Al and Parabolda and others have also looked into this extensively in-game. I guess the USKP team are savants or something. -_-

    The Taper mechanics should still work, as they're really not glitches at all — the nature of Necromage is that it is supposed to extend damage by 25% and duration by 50%, and for the taper mechanic, that's precisely what it does. The reason it leads to so much more damage is because the taper curve is not linear. It would be a shame if the USKP "fixed" this, since it's not a trick at all, just some advanced manipulation of a mathematical function in the game.

    This mod *might* let you be able to use the "advanced atronach perk" with the unofficial patch. It definitely lets Restoration potions buff perks and enchants again, so it may cover the other schools too. Worth a shot, at least.

    In any case, thanks for the like. If you're able to salvage anything from it for a future playthrough, that's enough of a win in my book.

    Thanks, Ely. Fixed the rank tag right as you commented. You wouldn't believe how many shots I instantly deleted, or how many times I paused the game for ~5 minutes to take a shot, and then decided it wasn't a good scene. It's great to hear you and others mention how much you like the build and the screenshots!

    I highly doubt they patched that. It's a pretty obscure glitch, even here.
