The perfect thief ?

Post » Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:54 am

Sup everyone I'm trying to make a thief build that doesn't turn into assassin or ranger or illusionist , I just want a plain vanilla thief but not completely combat incompetent

and I have created a build I think would do the trick , I don't have too much in combat , just enough to not make me run out of stamina real quick if i do get into combat , this character uses the steed

stone and I am keeping her away from the main quest so not to trigger dragons so they won't be a problem . I don't have much in sneaks first perk , maybe 2 or 3 so it doesnt get to the ridiculous point

of crouching 5 ft away from someone facing you in broad daylight and still being hidden -_- . that is my thief build anyway and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions to make it better , if I put

too much in a perk that it's OP , here is the build --> http://ie.ign.com/builds/the-elder-scrolls-5-skyrim/create?d=0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000011000100050000000041110021110000011111111111511111115000001

I think you need to take the next perk in sneak- walking and running does not affect detection.

Can you use shadow warrior to get out of a combat situation? If someone's chasing you, you crouch down, hide behind a wall (would the eye close?) and find a way to sneak out in the shadows. In this case, you wouldn't use shadow warrior to attack again, just to get away. Could it work like that?

Light armor perks are good. Archery too. As a stealth character, the key is avoiding detection in order to pick off enemies from a distance. Barring that, you don't want to get slammed in close combat. Light armor perks will give you bonuses to whatever you're wearing if you get high enough levels in it. I'd mostly pump up health for two or three levels then stamina once, health again, etc.

I'd recommend secondary skills in One-handed (double daggers) for close combat and Alchemy to make invisibilty potions and plenty of poisons.
