Hybrid Class Guides

Post » Tue Jun 05, 2012 9:39 am

So I plan to make a video series on Skyrim hybrid classes. Anyone who's played a battlemage/paladin/anything that includes several methods of fighting knows what I'm talking about. The fact that one can hybrid in this game so well has always amazed me and I love how creative one can be while making a hybrid class. What I need from you guys is a little bit of help in compliling a list of hybrid classes I can create.

Here's what I've played so far:

Battle Mage, a mix between one-handed and destruction, with the ability to use alteration if wanted.

Templar, a mix between one-handed and restoration which allows a constant barrage of power attacks due to the restoration perk Respite.

Summoning Tank, focuses on heavy armor, block, and conjuration. Staggers opponents with shield while a minion/atronach pounds them down.

Sneaky Illusionist, uses a combo of frenzy/muffle/invisibility, following that up with either a dagger, bow, or destruction magic.

Besides these 3, I need more ideas. I'll be creating the character as well as providing guides and unique tips for that certain build. If you have any suggestions at all, please post.

I have a Sorcerer who uses destruction spells and then a poison dagger. The idea is to hurl the full force of the magicka and follow up with a one handed attack.

I would call this mage/assasin

The problem with all these builds is balancing magicka and health as they will level more slowly as you have to distribute points between them

There's always the sneaky guy with illusion magic.

I also did a sneaky destruction mage. It was probably similar to a sneaky bow character except with destruction spells instead of a bow. The sneak helped me get into a tactically good place to blow stuff up, but I didn't get any damage bonus.

I've made my outline for your basic destruction battle mage, my download for Skyrim on the PC has about an hour to go then I can make my character and record some gameplay and make some graphics for the vids. I'll update the thread when I've finished with the video.
