Converting a mage to a spellsword is HARD.

Post » Sun Dec 16, 2012 8:57 am

I played a destruction mage until level 15, and then decided I wanted to try my first spellsword build. I will dual wield conjured swords, enchant my own blades, use cloaks, wear heavy armor and not improve my weapons and armor.

I only put 4 points into health by level 15. How is that for total magicka? Will I need more for my cloaks? Do I have too much and should I start over?

Well, how much Magicka do you have?

Or you could do it the right way and start over.

I was level 15 and put four points into health, so I guess I had 200 magicka. I cannot verify this at the moment.

What would be the difference? It might be harder at the start, but I like the challenge. If I want to end up with at least 200 magicka without enchantments anyway, why start over? I cannot tell you how sick I am of playing through the beginning 15 levels of the game.

If you're going to dual wield then you'll also likely need some stamina at some point.

Nono, don't start over, it's certainly not too late. 200 base magicka could do depending on how much spells you're gonna use. I would want more though if I'm gonna use expensive spells.

Yeah, the last three levels I have put into stamina. I will put points into only health and stamina for the next 15 levels or so, then maybe some more into magicka.

I guess I will only be using flame/ice/lightning cloaks. Maybe some runes. I heard there was a good one in DB. Recommendations?

And thanks for the help everyone.
