I was thinking to start a new nord character and use light armor (scaled) but use heavy armor helmets like (ancient nord and iron) i know i will lose out on couple important perks in light armor perk tree, but my actual question is since i would be using mixed of light and heavy armor dose that mean my light armor skills will upgrade slower than usual?

Thank you

I believe its some equation.. Whenever a enemy hits your armor, it must do something like this

N x (Number Stat) = % to level up

If you're doing peicemail, just perk Agile Defender, and Juggernaut (and maybe Block, which isn't affected.) it's not real efficient for level/protection, but allows you to customise your outfit for aesthetics. besides, as long as you aren't dying, your AR is high enough.

For a long time my current character was heavy armor with circlets. Both leveled but light leveled far slower than heavy which made perfect sense, so doing the reverse should work.

cool thanks for ideas
