any improvements on new build

Post » Thu Oct 18, 2012 9:12 am

Race undetermined

Primary
1 hand - duel daggers
archery - Bow
Light leather
Sneak - no perk pts in tree (makes it to easy)
pick pocketing
alchemy
lock picking

Secondary
smithing
enchanting
Alteration or illusion
speech

i want to make a crazy archer that duel wields daggers for close combat
BUT i dont want it to be to easy so im focusing in not OP sneak atks and not doing full Bow bonus dmg or crit

anything i can improve on or info you guys need to help me with this build, im used to mage type builds so i am a little lost in this aspect
also anything that can make a stealth character harder other than things like DiD, did that on my battle mage and it was fun, but im not that experienced in stealth type characters

You need perks in sneak to be effective as an assassin/archer type character. Don't bother with illusion as you can make your own invisibility potions and you can get boots that have muffle like the nightingale boots etc. What difficulty do you plan on playing?

ps: Don't forget to poison your bow. :thumbsup:

mastery difficulty and only doing alchemy to poison my gear :biggrin:

i would perk into sneak just not into the dmg bonuses for daggers and bows, i do want 1 hit kills for all my sneak atks with my dagger and bows, im afraid ill get bored real quick and wont sneak anymore.

Honestly....archery + alchemy + sneak (even if unperked) = GOD mode...at least after lvl 15 or so, or when your sneak gets to around 40-50

I've played a sneaky archery in every tes game....it's my absolute favorite style of build....but I find it incredibly boring in skyrim....you either turn into a God, or you gimp yourself so bad, so your not a God, then you basically have a kiting archer
