Hey all! I was bored with the crafting skills grind and ended up with a very cool build that I decided to share. As the topic says its a vampire nightblade with no crafting and no armor and yet it manages to be very strong and amazingly fun to play. Here is the build: http://chrizel.github.com/skyrim/#t/2/8t4em8,-qmx0ca,2aa69,0,-zik0zk,mh34,4xs0,0

Race: Breton(for the easy magic res cap).

Gear:
blade of woe(spell in left hand, bound bow for dragons)
brotherhood gloves+shoes(the cloth version)
ring/headgear/necklace of archery(my bound bow does 150 something dmg with just 2 pieces)
archmage robes(you could go for illusion master robes or something if you dislike the look)

Playstyle: The most important thing about this build that other than dragons, you will never ever fight fair. Tougher mobs will wipe the floor with you if you try to melee them face to face with your non improved Blade of Woe. So you use sneak, invisibility and calm to get those 900+ dmg backstabs(fury for several enemies ofc). For defence you still have ebony flesh. As a vampire with lord stone that makes your armor 430 something which is enough imo. You can sometimes get hit by the occasional archer but never melee. With mara buff, lord stone, 2/3 magic resistance and breton racial you have magic res cap so dragons/mages arent so bad.

Stats: I went 300 magicka and the rest health. You dont need stamina.

Alternative to archery: You could take destruction instead of archery but then you need to find ring+necklace+headgear of Destruction. Remember that we only need ranged for dragons!

About trainers: Be sure to use trainers for leveling restoration as you need 70 for necromage and its is very annoying to level! Other than that 1H and archery are good choices. Do not use trainers for anything else untill you have 70 restoration, 90 archery and 90 1H.

Other stuff: The linked build only takes 43 perks so you can do whatever you want after that. You can buff your archery if you want. You can buff conjuration for some dual dremora lord goodness. You can take speech for easier selling. One thing to remember is that with no crafting you have harder time to make money. So solve this I leveled pickpocket(just enough to get the extra carry perk).

So there you go. Very strong build with tactical playstyle that takes the best out of vampirism and doesnt exploit crafting. Hope you enjoy!

Bumb. Opinions?
