Character Conversion - Battlemage to Thief-Archer

Post » Fri Jul 06, 2012 9:53 pm

Hi All


Currently have worked up to level 20 with a redguard, most of the points were put on magicka level, conjuration and enchanment. I had light armour the entire time and also one handed.

But I've recently been wanting to take my skills down the route of thief archer.

Do you think it's too late to make such a dramatic change?

I'll be focussing on alchemy, archery and sneak. my lockpicking is almost perfect, I can pretty much open any lock from having the nack of the minigame.

Depending on how far you take the character you will have 20-30 perks to spend. You're going to end up being sort of a jack of all trades though. The archery tree alone takes about 14 perks to max I think (not that you need to however).

The good thing is that if you continue focus on enchanting you can make some powerful weapons and armor that will help augment the fact that you might not have the perks to fill out archery or sneak.

I think you'll be fine though. A thief that can conjure when needed is kinda cool.

Why not start a new character? That way you can play something different now and then.

I think a lot of us do that. I have 5 characters that I switch to now and then if I'm in the mood for something else.

Good luck.

If you totally switch classes you will end up a very high level, so that might lead to problems- if you go high above 50 things can get super super boring as everything becomes
no challenge- but some people like that.

Dont worry about taking flat damage increase or flat skill boost perks (like armsman 2-5) you can duplicate damage increases in many ways- what you cant duplicate is an ability- those are the perks you want. Flat 20% damage increase on bows=waste. Zoom in with bows? = new ability.
