Barbarian

Post » Fri Feb 28, 2014 2:11 pm

So, I made my first barbaric bandit, a bosmer, Aragorn.
Major Skills: Two Handed and Light Armor
Minor Skills: Archery, Alchemy, Smithing

This character doesn't use magic at all, and I don't want to grind smithing. He only uses resting, eating and potions for healing. But he does use all poisons he has.

I reached already level 12 with this character, but he having a hard time to stay alive. He loses his health in great portions. This forces me to use a fine steel greatsword instead of an orcish one, (steal gs has a longer range) so thay I can dodge attacks. I don't have a problem with timing power attacks.

His Light Armor skill is level 28 +40% stronger armor perk. He wears full fine leather armor.

His two handed skill is level 48, with champion stance and +40% more damage.

Any advice? :D

P.S. : I used legendary mode for a long time, but switched back to adept. Maybe it's bugged, I haven't checked it with my other characters.

I'm about to start a very a similar character to yours. Only he won't be using Archery.

Good call with Alchemy! You can poison your Two-Handed weapon, and keep yourself alive with powerful healing potions. And magic is for milk-drinkers. ;)

My advice would be to concentrate more on your Alchemy and Smithing. So you can have powerful potions, along with a high AR. Don't use Enchanting, there's not really much point. You can get all of the MR you need from your potions.

What race are you playing as? And the most important question of all.. Does he have a sixy beard?

Please do! Can't wait Harry. ;)

I like it. I'll be playing as an Orc. I'm sure the Bezerker ability will be veery useful for me.

Block. Blocking with 2H weapons will save your health. This is just a personal preference, but I've never played a barbarian that uses poisons as those characters tend to consider poisons to be cowardly.

My settings were bugged xD When I altered my settings again I saw that the damage became normal again.
And my character likes the philosophy of William Wallace (Braveheart). Use your head!
