Light armor

Shield

Enchanting: heal magica stam on armor only

Alt: spell for paralyzing light spells

Resto: heal stam and magica regen

Smithing for light armor crafting


Sounds like a fun build if i play it right

What about a weapon?

Staffs, maces, warhammers. Or axes since it's an orc

Bound sword is my wep of choice. i think there is bound axes to bows at master

I think I found a build I want to try for Deimos:

why illusion i can find a good use for that yes aside for silent casting that is kinda cool

So does using a bound weapon increase any weapon skills? :unsure:

whatever bound wep you are using increase the skill just like it is a one-hand,bow and 2-hand i dont know if there is a 2-hand bound spell would be cool

There is a 1h sword, bow, and 2h axe.

Bound Axe is two-handed. It's the only Bound spell besides Bow and Sword.


My orc Warlord wound up similar to a shaman, due to shouts. Two-handed weapon, with Elemental Fury, Become Ethereal, Frost Shout, Whirlwind Sprint, Unrelenting Force, Calm Beast, Animal Allegiance, etc.

He's a force to be reckoned with.

*looks at perk calculator*

What the hell is afromancy? O.o

I think that is Atromancy...

It's the skill to rock an awesome hairstyle? :disco:

To the OP:

After much trial and error that is a similar build to what I'm settling on for my Nord shaman (I also have a stealthy archer).
I'm using Heavy armor instead of light, because my other character already uses light armor, but I agree that thematically light armor suits better.
I founds shields a pain to use in combination with magic on the xbox since we only get two hotkeys, so I'm just using a spell in my other hand. that's a personal choice though.

Your Conjuration will go up very fast when you use both summoned creatures and summoned weapons, but hat's not really a bad thing because summons rock and unless you grind Smithing you won't get better weapons for a long time. Enchanted and upgraded Deadric will surpass summoned weapons eventually, but the summoned weapons look awesome so who cares?

The alteration Oakflesh spell (and it's successors) will help you against bosses as well especially in the beginning when your armor rating isn't that high yet. You could also use it to supplement your armor later on if you want to keep wearing fur and leather type of armor rather then Elven and Glass which looks a bit too fancy perhaps. I would probably skip Elven and Glass and wear leather until I could craft scaled, and then wear scaled until I could craft the dragon armor, but that's just me.

It's a great build, suits the setting and race as well, gives you more to do then just running in and whacking stuff and sounds like a lot of fun.

Here is my current skill level and perks. I love Achery and Sneaking. Thanks for the link.

Thank you very much.

Yes, shield and dual wielding can make a mess on spell equip and changes.

2h with heavy armor works as a nice alternative with simpler hotkey setup.

I have been playing this class its well using the shield took some getting use to.

I have to cast all my spells be for the fight slap shield on than go to town if i need to heal i drop shield and use a spell and moving away from mob at same time it makes for a nice play style i think
