hi, i wanna make a character that only uses bound weapons and armor i was thinking of 2 handed bound weapon and using a breton..but im unsure about how to put my perks..do i still need to put perks into 2h weapons and heavy armor to get full use of the bound ones?

I'm not sure if the game has bound armor. I have a Breton character that uses bound weapons (bow and sword). I would suggest also using a lot of alteration (stone flesh and the perks for defense). With alteration spells there's no need to level heavy armor. That's what I'm doing and the character has been quite successful so far. dual wielding bound swords is baddassical!

by the way, you do need to level two-handed if using a bound battle ax. but plan on getting all th perks in alteration for defense.

Only bound weapons (Sword, greataxe and bow) and the perks in 2h will affect your bound greataxe.

I'm a conjurer using a bound sword every now and then to help my atronarch. 1H is at about 30 and i neither have any of the 1H damage perks nor the bound weapon damage perk and still doing decent damage so it's perfectly viable.

edit: and how would i do with the health /magica ratio?


Just enough magicka to be able to cast Stoneflesh + Weapon at once, rest HP maybe a bit Stamina but mostly HP (or full HP and getting magicka through enchantments...that's what i'm doing and i also summon atronarchs which are more cost intensive)
