I'm trying to create my build for being a Vampire Lord in Dawnguard and so far I've create a sweet looking Dark Elf that looks very evil. However, I'm not sure what kind of build and skills I want to use. Therefore I call upon the greatness of all of you to aid me in becoming an awesome Vampire Lord. I choose being a Dark Elf mainly due to the 50% to fire, which will help greatly but I'm not sure if I should make him a Mage/assassin or just a pure Mage, or a Spellsword or a Nightblade. I'm so confused on which one to choose and that is why I want to hear from you all what would be an awesome build to create, keeping in mind that I will be a vampire lord. Thanks.

yep cant wait mine is a Dunmer female as well .

If the vampire lord transformation is anything like the werewolf transformation your racial abilities will be meaningless once you transform.

not true Argonians can still breathe underwater even as a Werewolf

It so happens I had an Argonian save lying around on my thumb drive and guess what he drowned in beastform. You do know that there is no oxygen meter in Skyrim right?
