[Completed] Archmage

Post » Wed Jun 06, 2012 6:21 am

Heya guys, so a while back I decided to make a glass cannon type mage, that would rely solely on offensive measures to kill things quickly and not worry about defense. I decided to max him out, and this took quite a while but I've managed to hit level 81 and I thought I'd share my finds.

The following was made with only one exploit, and that is the falmer helm + circlet stacking exploit. Aside from that, this character is completely legit. It's scary how powerful it is.

General Info

Race: High Elf
Vampire/Necromage
Base Magicka Pool: 1000 (100 Base + 50 Highborn + 50 Atronach Stone + 800 Leveling)
Gear Magicka: 477
Total Magicka: 1477

Damage Capabilities

Highest Spell Damage (Master not included): Incinerate: Approximately 231 Damage, Dual-casted
Highest Spell Damage w/ Potion (Master not included): Incinerate: Approximately 799 Damage, Dual-casted

Gear

Archmage's Robes: 125% Magicka Regeneration, 18% Less Casting Cost for Every Spell, +62 Magicka
Circlet: +103 Magicka, 41% Alteration Spell Reduction
Amulet: +103 Magicka, 41% Destruction Spell Reduction
Ring: +103 Magicka, 41% Illusion Spell Reduction
Gloves: +103 Magicka, +61 Capacity
Boots: Muffled Movement, +61 Capacity

Defensive Capabilities

Standard: 0/50 AR (50 if Lord Stone is chosen over Atronach, but will lose 50% Absorption and +50 Magicka)
Ebony Flesh: 375/425 AR, ~300 Seconds (425 if Lord Stone is chosen over Atronach, but will lose 50% Absorption and +50 Magicka)
Ebony Flesh + Dual-casted Greater Ward: 595/645 AR (645 if Lord Stone is chosen over Atronach, but will lose 50% Absorption and +50 Magicka)
Ebony Flesh + Greater Ward: 475/525 AR (525 if Lord Stone is chosen over Atronach, but will lose 50% Absorption and +50 Magicka)
Magicka Absorption: 80%/30% (Atronach Perk + Atronach Stone, 30% if Lord Stone is chosen over Atronach)
Magicka Resist: 30% (Magic Resist in Alteration Tree)



So that's basically it guys. If you need more details, post. Some may ask why I didn't just reduce spell cost so I could have free spells instead of this insanely high magicka pool. The answer is simple, I enjoy maxing but at the same time I don't like to be completely limitless. So here I have a limit, and I do hit it in long fights, but I'm still "maxed".
