I didn't want to hijack the other mages threads going on right now so I made thise one.
I am curious to find out what others think of the potential of enchanting for mages.
Granted I only played one pure mage a while back but was thinking about making another one.
In that previous mage I made I fiddled around with enchanting but never really got around to using it much,I found the robes you get in the college to be more than adequet.
Enchanting to me has always been more of a battlemage thing where finding the right enchantments on the armor you want to wear is very difficult,or near impossible.So my battle mages use enchanting.
Alchemy on ther other hand I have been finding very usefull for my part time archer mage.
I'm not even talking about the poisons.
With potions like fortify magick,restore or regenerate magick and fortifying a magick skill such as destruction.
The advantages I find in alchemy to greatly outway the advantages you get from enchanting,at least for pure robe wearing mages.
The only way to increase your damage from destruction spells is through fortify destruction potions.
Mix that with some weakness to fire,frost or lightning poisons can wreak havock on enemies.
The mage I am going to make here very soon is most likely going to use both but enchanting will be mostly just for a hobby rather than the crafting skill to be used most.
What are your oppinions?Am I just nuts for thinking this way or do you think the advantages from alchemy are better than enchanting for pure mages?
