Going to do a frost battlemage build

Post » Wed Jun 05, 2013 1:58 pm

I'll take 2h, destruction, conjuration, restoration, heavy.armor, block, and enchanting. I'll use Stahlrim armor with the mask of duukan. And get the black book for frost breath, and enchants 10% stronger. Any suggestions?

Sounds good! I'll just say that I'd go with Nord for race. They are the most in-tune with the cold, as reflected by their 50% resistance to frost.

8 with Smithing.

That's more than enough, any more and he'll stretch his build too thin.

Nothing, just add in Smithing for Stalhrim and you'll be good to go.

I find battlemages that use Two-Handed to be counter intuitive. I'd figure you'd want to use melee and magic in conjunction with each other, not one at a time.

From what I read, Battlemages use Conjuration and Destruction for range attacks. Then they switch to Two Handed when enemies get too close.

I would go with using magic in conjunction with one handed weapons (Swords are okay, but BattleMages are often portrayed using maces) I recently just finished a playthrough with a battle mage and it turned out great, I had a blast. Got both 100 One Handed and 100 Destruction :twirl: My favorite was using incinerate, and a Daedric Mace with the Elemental Fury shout for faster attacks to absolutely destroy my enemies from close and far!
