Class? Suggestions?

[sahqonsah]

Ok I've had skyrim a while now and I have restarted countless times and tried loads of different play styles and I'm kinda getting bored of my current character, anybody got any good solid suggestions? I'd like something out of the norm please.

depends what you have already done and what you find boring.

 

[sahqonsah]

I've tried a lot but I'd like something a little different, I wanna make an evil character so I'm gonna conjure up the dead, but I don't wanna be a full necromancer

 

[Chryss]

why not try a Battlemage and work on the conjuration tree.

 

[sahqonsah]

I was thinking maybe heavy armour dark mage but I wanna mix it up a bit not too much magic

How about a Death Knight? You use Heavy Armor, and a Two Handed weapon or a One Handed weapon if you want to use magic in the other hand, and when you kill someone you just raise them?

 

[Chryss]

my current character is an Imperial Battlemage type. heavy Armor, 1 handed weapons, archery and sneak, destruction, restoration and conjuration magic. (smithing and enchanting as always)

It is a challenge from my regular warrior but I am loving it.

 

[sahqonsah]

I'm liking the sound of a death knight sound good, heavy armour, 2 handed, conjuration and illusion maybe?

I would say Frost Destruction as well, but you don't want too much magic you said, and plus everything in Skyrim resists Frost. Maybe you could even make him/her a Vampire too? Unless you've already done Vampires and are bored of them as well.

I had a build very similar to that, I went with light armor though, and I got Volendrung the Malacath artifact for my hammer. I found with Illusion, I had to stay sneaky at least a bit, so as soon as I used Fury on someone they didn't just detect me and attack me, but attack their friends instead. Then as I wait for one of them to die, I am still hidden as my Magicka recharges, then I can raise one of the fallen enemies and pull out my hammer to battle.

Yea. I was thinking while they fight amongst themselves I would resurrect those that fall and carry on the fight, I think I'll make him a dark elf and make him look like a dremora, how's that sound guys?

Sure, add Illusion! I don't like Illusion that much but add what you want! Here's a video that may help you:

Have fun, and a few tips. Think about for atleast 5 minutes about what you like, and what you don't like. Than just sum up all of your liked skills and look at what you came up with!

I would go with the Dark Elf, they look pretty sick!

Thanks for the thread skarv, and thanks for ur suggestion guys

Pure Mages are fun. Try Shield & Magic, sounds interesting. Sword & Shield never gets old.

If you play on pc get the necromancer mod if you want a real death knight
