best part of this post?

this snippet, "...even with stats like these it is dangerous to just Leroy Jenkins everything..."

Quick question: I managed to get the stats that were like Jerich's, but for some reason they dropped pretty substantially. Like, two hundred points off my Daedric Longswords and I have no idea why. Armor is fine, yet why did my damage drop so much?

I heard the armor you can make from completing the Campanions quest line is better than Daedric?

Unfortuantely, i don't believe this is true. What type of armor is it?

I've found something called Nord hero Weapons, that are craftable after you complete the Companions quest. These appear to be the same as Skyforge, but may include something extra.

I think it said SKyforge armor was the best armor, not Daedric, and I think it said Nightingale Armor is the best Light armor, not Dragonscale. Also what is Guild Master's body? It said that body has more AR than nightingale body for Light armor. It even has 1 more defense than heavy armor Daedric

Daedric is the best armor set in the game, period. The Guild Masters gear is better in certain areas, but it's not a complete 4piece set, so you lose a ton of Perks. Nightingale is the best Light Armor, yes, but I don't know if it's already enchanted. If it is, then you can't do the build mentioned in this thread, because you need all enchanting slots available.

Can you even upgrade those items like Nightingale and weapons like Karliah's Bow(Best bow in the game)? If not then yea I would say Dragonscale/Daedric armor/weapons are the best just because of this trick?

Nice Work Cheshyr! I need to go back through the post this weekend and put the names of the people who contributed on the front of it. I'll do that.

I also redid this with a new character and realized that something was adding a blanket 50 armor to my numbers. Perhaps this was the Lord's Stone? It gives a +50 damage resist buff... does it show up as armor? My weapon scores replicated exactly and I had before, and I added another category to expose the marskman potion bug (it adds to everything).

I also made an Orc this time and tested with Berserk rage... It doubles everything.=) Say Hello to 33k backstabs!=P

I am guessing this is the highest damage you can do in the game (+10% to opposite gender with the diabela's (sp?) perk would make it 36kish).

Anyway, I'll try go go through again and add names to the front this weekend.

Thanks,
Jerich

Woah ... way past 200!
