The Demonhunter

Post » Sat Jul 27, 2013 6:39 pm

So, someone suggested to go to Skyrim Blog to see some builds and I felt like doing so. While I was checking the site I found this really interesting Demonhunter build.

It's based on Archery, Alchemy, Destruction, Heavy Armor/Light Armor, Smithing, Alteration and Restorarion. The author said something about a cross between a Paladin and a Witch hunter.

I absolutely loved the build as it uses my favourite weapon, the crossbow, and as such I'm trying to decide between Light or Heavy Armor. I've always went for light but this time I might change my mind. For this very reason I'd like you guys to give me your opinions.

The idea is not using stealth, using the atronach stone, some runes, archery, alchemy for paralyze and damage and some elemental damage (Zephyr and exploding bolts).

Here is the build:

archery and destruction dont seem that practical, except for whirlwind cloak

They are with this set up. Also, it increases the versatility. I would take the perks anyway for the elemental damage. :)

I'm running this character right now actually. She's only level 9 it looks like a fine build. Mine's in Heavy Armor. I'll certainly be getting the highest crossbow and bolts eventually, but until then I have the Zephyr and I like it a lot. No cheating, I found the book randomly around level 5 but you can just go to the ruins. I dual-cast Flames on enemies that are in melee too fast for bow, wolves and such are good at suddenly pouncing, and it helps to level up Destruction for the Runes.

It certainly is tempting to Sneak, but I've been able to repress the urge so far. Lowest point at the moment is the Alchemy, I've never done more than dabble in it before and it seems to take 7 forevers to level, and when I make a poison I then shortly find one that does more damage anyway. I need to hit up UESP, I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. (Not to exploit or glitch mind you, I don't do that.)
