What is your favorite enchantment and how did you do it?

Uh.... Um.

Colonel Fire, on the Greatbow, in the Lavatory?

When I get a hold of a Grand Soul Gem, I put a soul-trap enchantment on the best bow I have with the most charges I can get for a 3 second spell-time. I do it again for my follower so we have plenty of soul gems to recharge the staves and melee weapons.

My favorite enchantments:

Twin blade of Unholy Execution: Absorb 20 pts of health. Soul trap for 4 sec.
Twin blade of Unholy Vigor: Absorb magicka and stamina 22 pts each.
Bow of Lost Souls: Paralyze for 3 sec and soul trap for 5 sec.

How did I do it? I used the souls of 2 dragon priests to make these epically powerful weapons.

Can I ask why you guys use soul trap for multiple seconds? I always use just one, it works perfectly as the weapon I use always delivers the killing blow anyway and it gives me more charges.

Good point!

Not sure. Just to make sure I don't miss the soul trap I guess...

Fortify Unarmed FTW!

I almost never make weapon enchantments. Not sure why.

I guess my favorite series of enchantments was to put the one-handed and sneak enchantments on 4 pieces of equipment. Makes my character scary. 25% destruction reduction on 4 slots is always fun too.

Elemental blades sword- fire And frost damage 45 points each
Ebony war axe of sithis- soul trap 5 seconds and leech health 45 points a second
Elemental ebony bow- same as sword but sometimes fire/shock frost/shock

I use 5 seconds just to make myself feel better. I dual wield, sometimes the one second doesn't get it

My favorite enchantment is always a reducing spell costs. Not all the way but just enough to make them manageable.

enchanting the knife and fork with absorb health and stamina

A bow with 1 second soul trap. It works wonders for me, not OP or anything, but very convenient.

Personally I say let people make whatever they want, it's a single player game.

I enchant for the longest duration possible with Soul Trap on a bow, the reason being that at lower levels it's doubtful that my first arrow is gonna deal the killing blow. If I have a follower or allies in the fight (by choice or quest-related) they are going to be attacking the same target(s) and it may very well be one of their weapons that gets the kill and it may be within seconds of when my arrow hit but before I can get another one into the same target to "reset" the trap. If the trap lasts longer I feel there's a better chance of getting the soul since as long as it's active it doesn't matter who or what actually kills the target.

Seems to work well for some multiple attacker situations, for instance wolf packs and other lower level enemies, especially with a ranged magic follower. Sometimes I can get a hit with the bow on 2-3 different targets and then between my follower and myself they all get finished off while a trap is still active on each.

With a melee weapon I enchant for a 1 second trap since most likely I will be striking continually until the target is dead and resetting the trap over and over anyway, so I'm not worried about the trap lasting long enough to allow for kills that come from somewhere else. And it does get you more uses per charge.

Donkey punch- ebony warhammer with life drain

Im partial to anything that burns, freezes or paralyzes the enemy! Dont ask how im below lvl 20 enchantment

I don't do weapon enchantments, I just load my forsworn armor up with archery buffs.
