Favorite Standing Stone

I have to say, after Oblivion, I thought the only good signs are the Mage or apprentice now. But now, I have discovered the Lord Stone. <3 pretty awesome sh*t

+1 for Lover stone, +15% XP to all skills is still pretty good.

You could, you know, describe what they do, right?

Not everyone's found them ;(

I use the Steed Stone. +100 carrying weight is very helpful with dragon bones.

i still haven't found anything more useful than the three initial stones.
lvl 28 and I'm still using the warrior to get the 20% increase to my combat skills.

The Ritual Stone is a great one to have when you're in the final stage of a dungeon full of draugr. You can pull that out and they'll all fight for you.

I like that one that's pointing upward with some carving thing on it. It's got a hole at the top also.

As a warrior - The Atronach. Spell absorbation is priceless.

The Steed is ridiculously good, saves me 3 or 4 perks in Heavy Armor alone that I can spend on cooler, better things.

I need to find the Lord stone for my up-and-coming paladin. Playing a breton, the epic magic resistance will make him ridiculously awesome.

To everyone that uses the thief, warrior, mage or lover stone. STOP IT! The only time you want to use the mage, thief or warrior stone is if you need to "catch up" with some skills that are too low for your lvl. Other than that there is NO use for it. Who cares if you lvl up 15% faster with the lover stone, so will your enemies. So what you really do is "miss out" on a great possible bonus. I use the lord stone, gives me +50 armor and +25% magic recistance. Great bonus indeed when your enemies dont get the same bonus (they do when you lvl up you know).

Anyway have fun :)

I like the Lover. I prefer to unlock perks faster, so I like a breadth of faster experience.

Yeah I am using the lord stone as a paladin. I am focussing on not being easy to kill though my damage out put is currently not that high (spending most perks on defense, healing and alteration first).

The Steed helps my warrior with the removal of armor encumbrance (to some extent) and the +100 armor capacity.

The Lady is great for my archer (combat oriented), with the health and stamina regen. Allows me to get off more bushes, recover faster from sprinting/zooming, and helps with melee power-attacks.

I'll probably switch to the Lord or something after a Sack of Holding mod comes out. I just hate, hate, hate the inventory limits in these games...

i see wut you did dere..

On-Topic: I love the steed stone, makes worn armour weight nothing and +100 carrying capacity. Very useful until you get the H-Armour perk "Conditioning".
