I was messing around with destruction and shield on my nord and i thought that using magic with a shield was a blast. i looked around and found this, which looks incredibly badass: http://theskyrimblog.ning.com/group/character-building/forum/topics/character-build-the-salamander

Has anyone ever played a full on shield mage character and enjoyed it? im thinking about making one to see how it feels first but it would be helpful to hear from others

sounds awesome and seems pretty awesome.
