Dark Elf Witchhunter
Skills perked:
-Archery
-Conjuration (for atronachs and bound bow)
-Destruction (rune spells, very tactical)
-Alteration (flesh armor, illumination, and detect life - also perks for magical resistance)
-Enchant
Uses sneak without perks, and wears mage robes.
I tend to end up as a witchhunter in all the elder scrolls games, and this is the closest one can get to recreating that class without the mysticism school of magic. if detect life were easier to obtain and/or available earlier on, it would be perfect, but as it is now, it's convenient having the armor spells and other utilities condensed into the same school/perk tree.
It's very fun and powerful, without being so strong as to eliminate challenge.
I had previously created a Khajiit pure stealth character, putting perks into sneak ONLY, and by the time i was level 25 i was an unstoppable, overpowered killing machine, able to sneak right in front of opponents and deliver multiple dual-dagger instant-kill attacks. If you're going to go down the sneak tree and still want to have a challenge, i recommend either skipping Assassin's Blade perk and working up the other branch up till Silence, OR taking Assassin's Blade but nothing past Muffled Movement, if that. So you'll either be a marginally effective sneak that can do devastating damage when it's possible to sneak up on something, or you'll be an exceptional sneak that isn't quite capable of one-shot killing sprees.
