I had an idea to create a stealth oriented mage. This proved a challenge but I think I might have created 2 viable builds (not for use on master difficulty, Although the melee build could most likely do well on master)


Ranged Stealth Mage
http://www.ign.com/builds/the-elder-scrolls-5-skyrim?d=00000000000000000010111011111111211100000011111002100111001110101100021010101000005000111001000010000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000511110511111000110010011105

Race: High elf or breton for min max, any race will do

Weapon: no weapon besides magic

Armor: Fully upgraded and enchanted dragonscale armor

Playstyle: Fling silent ice spears from the shadows, summon icy behemoths to fight for you, bend the wills of lesser mortals, or simply sneak by your foes, endless tactical possibilities.



"Illusionist" stealth mage
(have used this one myself, its very powerful)

Race: High elf

Weapons: Bound bow and duel wield bound swords as the situation demands

Armor: Nightingale armor, not even just for looks, the enchantments help a great deal with this playstyle

Playstyle: Weaving magic into weapons and twisting the minds of his foes is just another day for this adventurer. Able to change combat style to suit any situation.




Pyromancer

http://www.ign.com/builds/the-elder-scrolls-5-skyrim?d=000000000000000000000000000000012111100111111112100001110011101011000210000000000050001110010000111115111111150000111153100010000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001100100111

Race: Nord for awesomeness, dark elf, high elf, or breton for min/max

Weapons: Elemental fire and a bound battle axe if needed

Armor: Enchanted Daedric armor

Playstyle: Watch the world burn behind your exceptionaly armored form. Shrug off the blows of lesser creatures and , if the situation demands it, smite them with an axe of blue hot flames!!!!!

Thoughts and suggestions or improvement ideas are more than welcome!!!!!


The pyromancer build was just for fun as an rp character im doing now
