Ok, can someone help me here? I am thinking of giving my character, all of the Archery, 1h, Destruction, Restoration, Heavy Armour, Smithing and Speech perks, how much would this be?

I'm expecting Regeneration to be a prerequisite for Respite, as they are both linked to the function of healing spells. Recovery is a passive boost so I can see that being on an offshoot from Apprentice Restoration.

Hows this for a build?

Heavy Armour: Juggernaut (5) + Well Fitted (1) + Tower of Strength (1) + Matching Set (1) + Reflect Blows (1) = 9

Smithing: Stee Smithingl (1) + Arcane Blacksmith (1) + Dwarven Smithing (1) + Orcish Smithing (1) + Ebony Smithing (1) + Daedric Smithing (1) + Dragon Armour Smithing (2) = 8

One Handed: Armsman (5) + Bladesman (3) = 8

Archery: Overdraw (5) + Eagle Eye (1) + Powershot (1) + Quick Shot (1) + Bullseye (1) = 9

Restoration: Novice Restoration (1) + Apprentice Restoration (1) + Adept Restoration (1) + Expert Restoration (1) = Master Restoration (1) + Respite (1) = 6

Destruction: Novice Destruction (1) + Apprentice Destruction (1) + Adept Destruction (1) + Expert Destruction (1) = Master Destruction (1) + Augumented Flames (1) + Intense Flames (1) + Augumented Freeze (1) + Deep Freeze (1) = 9

Overall=49

Is this ok, or should I saw a couple of Destruction perks for Restoration ones?

I need one more though, anyonr got any ideas?

How about Augmented Fire, Frost, or Lightning?

I'm not really into warrior type builds but I really like this one. Even though you probably won't cast much magic, if any; I like that you have so many points in enchantment, and smithing.

I can see your character running around in ridiculously ornate armor, and wielding a flaming sword.

Interesting Sugar Rush, I believe picking smithing and enchanting together will be an excellent and powerful choice.

Heavy Armour: Juggernaut (5) + Well Fitted (1) + Tower of Strength (1) + Matching Set (1) + Reflect Blows (1) = 9

Smithing: Stee Smithingl (1) + Arcane Blacksmith (1) + Dwarven Smithing (1) + Orcish Smithing (1) + Ebony Smithing (1) + Daedric Smithing (1) + Dragon Armour Smithing (2) = 8

One Handed: Armsman (5) + Bladesman (3) = 8

Archery: Overdraw (5) + Eagle Eye (1) + Powershot (1) + Quick Shot (1) + Bullseye (1) = 9

Restoration: Novice Restoration (1) + Apprentice Restoration (1) + Adept Restoration (1) + Expert Restoration (1) + Master Restoration (1) + Respite (1) + Recovery (2) + Avoid Death (1)= 9

Destruction: Novice Destruction (1) + Apprentice Destruction (1) + Adept Destruction (1) + Expert Destruction (1) + Master Destruction (1) + Augumented Fire (1) = 6

Overall=49

My set is now finished unless more perks are suddenly revealed.

Haha, yea. That is the idea I have. I want to get the utmost from my gear beyond anything else, so I am a walking, glittering wall of dragon-born. I will max the armour from Heavy Armour, then increase it with Smithing, then enchant my custom armour with the best runic protection I can. Behind my shield I shall be untouchable (enchant the armour with resistances to complement elemental protection), reaching out to deliver well timed power attacks! Mwa ha ha ha!



I actually like this idea. I would probably go for a Destruction as a primary range and 1H for primary melee, but that is just personal taste. This looks really solid. If I decide I like magic to much to pass up, I may use something very much like this

My build is completely done.

We have been told there is a soft cap at level 50, meaning 49 base perks. We have also been told that after level 50 the game is not balanced, and so it seems rather pointless to me to build a character after that point because you would be strong enough to make choices not matter, and the amount of effort would be far, far higher. As such, I am interested in builds looking at the natural 49 perk limit.

Here is the one I am looking at currently. The idea is a heavily armoured warrior who can take a beating:

Heavy Armour: Juggernaut (5) + Well Fitted (1) + Tower of Strength (1) + Matching Set (1) + Reflect Blows (1) = 9

Block: Shield Wall (5) + Deflect Arrows (1) + Elemental Protection (1) = 7

Smithing: Steal (1) + Arcane Blacksmith (1) + Dwarven Smithing (1) + Orcish Smithing (1) + Ebony Smithing (1) + Daedric Smithing (1) + Dragon Armour Smithing (2) = 8

Enchanting: Enchanter (5) + Insightful Enchanter (1) + Corpus Enchanter (1) + Extra Effect (1) = 8

One Handed: Armsman (5) + Bladesman (3) = 8

Archery: Overdraw (5) + Eagle Eye (1) + Powershot (1) + Quick Shot (1) + Bullseye (1)

I may make room for some Alchemy perks depending on its tree, but this covers what I want. I will have total control over my armour, making it and enchanting it my self to the highest degree. I will master the defensive aspects of Heavy Armour and Blocking, and the pure offensive aspects of One Handed and Archery. I only really have Archery because I think a range attack is needed, that may be dropped once in game.

Anyway, what are your thoughts on your builds?

Do we know that the final perk number is 49/50, or was it raised to a higher number like 70?

I still hold out a little hope for the latter. 50 perks is not enough to max out 4 skill trees ....

You already have enchant, use a staff for your ranged attack, then dump into alchemy... at least that is what I am doing.

Totally agree with this - really tough to choose

I think I'll focus mainly on 5 skills though
