I messed up some perks on my first battlemage doing some experimenting. And I think I have the build I want. Let me know what you guys think about it!

At first I wanted a pure warrior, but since I had so many perks I figured I'd delve into some destruction/resto magic to help me out in some different situations. It's different from most battlemages I've seen in that I use real weapons, not bound ones to do my bidding and I still have a very heavy focus on smithing and armor.

I haven't decided if I want to do alteration but I thought the atronach perk would be helpful.

Heavily muchkin'd build, will work perfectly. Boring as [censored], though.

How is it boring sir?

Looks pretty good. Not sure about alteration though as your already wearing heavy armour and wont need the armour spells. Could put those perks more into restoration for wards and remove block also, but there's loads of different variations to choose from so go with whatever you enjoy most.

Block + HA was a choice I made despite the overpowerdness. They are two skills I haven't been able to use much, so I just threw them on the same character. I'm not going to exploit anything though as I think even minimal attention to them both will be more than enough.

I think I chose alteration for the perk. Magic has been a real problem for me. But by the time I get there... I might be strong enough anyway, so perks will likely go elsewhere. That's just TBD though. I'm liking this guy so far. Has potential to be literally unstoppable, but at my discretion.

Thing I found hardest when making a battlemage was not where to spend perks but what attribute point I should choose. I need magic for my spells, health as I'm melee, and stamina for block/power attacks. I decided to go mostly for health and magic as a restoration perk restores stamina as well as health and that my health and especially magic would be depleted a lot faster.
