I chose the staff mainly because I felt I needed to have everything related to Conjuration/summoning on that character. The Crown seemed interesting but not something I'd use often, and the shield just wouldn't have been useful for my character.

The choices on offer were pathetic, sure the crown was nice nad the staff and was cool but the shield was just a toy.
They were nice but we needed MORE choices with more unique looks, the crown was a doubled up circlet, blue dwarf staff and blue gems tacked onto the dwarf shield
Wouldve liked to have seen one of each weapon with a totally unique look and effect, same with armour, the possibilities were endless for this kind of thing...shame beth wasted it.

They should have added a sword as a choice with a unique ability like a wabajack ability

I have a feeling they may just add some more aetherium in next DLC, and who knows what kind of stuff they will come up with they are an imaginative lot at bethesda

the crown of course!

I laughed so hard when i was raising undead armies so huge it would crash my xbox
