Input on a "Thane" class

Post » Mon Jun 11, 2012 1:43 am

First off so there is no confusion this class has nothing to do with th Thane titel you get in game. It's loosely based on the Thane class in Dark Age of Camelot but not much.

The concept of the class is using light "combat" armor (not stealth like DB armor but more leather, elven and so on) 1h swords in one hand and Spells in the other (sometimes drop the spell to be able to block).

When it comes to skills i could use some input. The skills I'm sure at having is:
1h - ofc
light armor - ofc
Destruction - for dmg using a mod that scale Destruction dmg with level
Enchanting - Mostly for rp. Will not use smithing or alchmy, to try keep it balance i never use more than one of them on a character. Also will not power level it.
Illusion - Mostly for turning enemies against each other to help out in combat. Was thinking about Conjuration but rp makes illusion a better choice

Other skills i need some input on
Block - Would block work for this character or is it a complete waste of points? Since i mainly use 1h a spells i will not block a lot, but when i do i get a feeling i need to do it well
Alteration - Are the armor buff spells worth putting points in alteration to improve when i use light armor? You get some nice passive perks futher up the tree but are they worth putting points in alteration for?
Restoration - The only thing i feel is needed from restoration are the wards. Are they good enough to be worth putting points into restoraton? Low level wards are pretty useless imo since they break to easily and stagger you, can you use higher level wards effectively with out putting points in restoration that lower mana cost on higher level spells..

I also wonder what "Sign" i should use that works best with this build, mby something for dmg protection since i'm going low on defence.

Also what ratio do you think i should put into Mana/Health/Stamina? I really have no idea what might work.

Any other thoughts or input would be appreciated

Other Info about the character:
Race: Altmer
Name: Abbiegail (not very Mer but it is explained in the backstory)
Supporting: Stormcloaks (also explained in the backstory)
Backstory: Leaving empty now, to lazy to write it out but if there is intrest i will add later.

When playing a character that involves the use of all types of skills (stealth/might/magic). I usually keep Magicka/Health/Stamina balanced, less so with health, as you can make up the difference with enchantments.
