[GoooooooooooooooooG]

Dude your awsomeeeeeeeeeee

[Psychopoweranger]

@GoooooooooooooooooG Dude Thankssssssssssssssssssssssss =P

[Gabriel10522]

@Psychopoweranger where can u buy the invisibility spell?

[Psychopoweranger]

@Gabriel10522 Read down the comments a bit ive answered it probably 5 times =P im sure you can find the answer there!

[Gabriel10522]

@Psychopoweranger 75 illusion?

[Victinvids]

How do you get the x30?!

[FatalJapan]

I'm a Werewolf-Vampire Ilusion/ Conjuration Assassin

[Psychopoweranger]

@FatalJapan Sounds like a really sweet build! Very interesting indeed!

[Victinvids]

I use Smithing to create Deadric weapons, and I also get some points on archery for the Long distance sneaky combat things.

[Psychopoweranger]

@Victinvids Good thinking sounds like a good idea ;)

oh and you use shrouded gloves and the sneak perk with a dagger in hand :)

[Victinvids]

@Psychopoweranger Then I should start the Dark Brotherhood questline... Thanks man ;)

[sierrasrock]

creep wink, nice.

[Psychopoweranger]

@sierrasrock Why thank you

[tsukoyomi100]

just a heads up but invisibility w/o quiet casting gives away yr positions!

[Psychopoweranger]

@tsukoyomi100 Yup!

[bronzejusthawk]

nice vid man though i have a question.where do i get the invisible spell?answer fast plz :)

[Psychopoweranger]

@bronzejusthawk become known as the dragon born, have 75 illusion and then go to the illusion spell seller at the mages college: ) he sells it

[TheBlackKatana]

Trendkill

[Psychopoweranger]

@TheBlackKatana I'm not sure i follow! xD

[TheBlackKatana]

@Psychopoweranger awesome vid

[Psychopoweranger]

@TheBlackKatana Oh thank you! I looked up trendkill ;=P

[TheDraghkar]

I find going the heavy armour route on blacksmithing to be better Remember this is just my opinion :D my reason is thus For the Sake of ONE! more perk into blacksmithing you get to have the best weapons (with out using exploits to break the game) but again this is for those like me who prefer bows as their back up / dragon killing if you don't use bows going Light side of tree is fine as either side lets you make the Dragon scale armour

[Psychopoweranger]

@TheDraghkar I fully agree with your opinion! I do that now too! =P

[DeeDAsian]

@mrbuddha2026 how do you prepare the 4 -25% illusion cost? :( please help it would be so good to not have to constantly wait for magicka regen all the time

[DeeDAsian]

i accidentally put a perk into master illusion, is that okay? i just found this class very interesting so i bought all the master illusion spells as well. did i mess up? also, is khajit a race to go with?

[mrbuddha2026]

@DeeDAsian Races doesn't matter much, trust me. I'm also a Khajiit :D Putting a perk in Master Illusion isn't a waste but it could be avoided. What I mean by that is that you can prepare 4 -25% Illusion cost clothes and have Illusion spells cost 0. You need to spend like 6 points in Enchanting for the last, though. Hope that helped and feel free to ask anything. I'm willing to help.

[PKBaires]

I didn't know you can be invisible :O

[Psychopoweranger]

@PKBaires Haha you best better believe you can! =P

[Corey91666]

this class sucks...

u cant just say oh we make this here and that there...

how r u supposed to live in the early stages ?

i use destruction magic (based on fire) as a backup for range and i also use rune traps...

i use illusion especiallyy both hands so u can make more out of that when u face stronger enemies...

i also enchantments as it suits the class well... sneak ofc so generally the same build but with destruction as range backup...

[Psychopoweranger]

@Corey91666 I suppose that is your opinion because I did just fine in the early levels. It seems some people miss the point of these videos it isn't about making the perfect build its about making a build that is interesting and fun.

[Corey91666]

@Psychopoweranger im not making the sugestion to a "more perfect" class...

but i think ur vids r a bit missleading... if u do the stuff i would consider taking a bit more time in weaknesses , strengths and what ppl most be aware of... e.g. ur class has no active range.... i also dont like the fact that u r "almost" trying to make a "perfect" (strong) class as u go with smithing ... and thats power gaming especially considering what class we talk about ;)

[SafeguardHD]

@Corey91666 Your retarded, This class is fun as fuck if your ever wanting to mess around.

[Psychopoweranger]

@SafeguardHD I support this message!

[TheDraghkar]

@Corey91666 use the CALM Spell at early levels for every thing other than Druager and Giants / Dragons (which your not gonna melee early anyway) and then u could if you so desiered just walk up to them and puch out their ights :D

[TheMancarCamoran]

make a onehanded-block-heavyarmor-res­toration killing machine ^^

[Agent007inMetin2]

I think will be beter to up blacksmith not to dragon armor but to daedric weapon. Also i dont use armor so i have free pers for full archer skills i think this will be better because enemy dont hit you.

[Psychopoweranger]

@Agent007inMetin2 That's an entire build all together aha

[lifethrufisheye]

I already put 2 points into archery. I'm only level 16 though. Would it be okay to use this build?

[DeeDAsian]

@Psychopoweranger haha nice! so basically you just do this till 100 sneak or invisibility? :D

[DeeDAsian]

haha nice! and basically you this till your sneak is 100 or if you get invisibility?

[DeeDAsian]

@Psychopoweranger theres just something i don't understand: how would you be able to defeat enemies at early levels then? you kept saying all you need to do is go invisible, but doesn't that come alot later? how would you be able to kill bandits and frost trolls early on with just sneak and a dagger? even if you're on sneak, won't they detect you anyway?

[Psychopoweranger]

@DeeDAsian The cool thing about calm is if you cast it on an enemy while sneaking you will go back to being unseen. So you can cast calm on the enemy then when they turn there back and walk away you hit them again. repeat! :D

[zingkrink]

@DeeDAsian if you start as a high elf you have fury, and what I did for a long time during my low levels was just sneaking around and use fury so they kill each other, and for enemy's that are to strong for your fury using a bow and getting cheap sneak attacks from a distance, then hiding till you become hidden again. once you get illusion to 90 you become a massive troll lol. I love using calm on bandits/forsworn and then pickpocketing them, if they catch me, they do nothing LOL!

[DeeDAsian]

i'm planning on restarting my skyrim character to make this because the last character i made is just SO TERRIBLE. i have a few questions though: 1. do you just directly input all points into stealth, then one-hand, then light armour? are you suppose to mix it up as you go along? 2. how would you build the magicka/health/stamina? what ratio? please answer thanks man :D

[Psychopoweranger]

@DeeDAsian You mix it up, assuming you don't just speed level sneak you won't be able to do them all right away anyways =P I forgot to put the stat ratios in this video but if you look at the them in this video that is what I would recommend! :)

[sigtavi6]

what about alchemy?

you need smithing potions for better armor/weapons

[Psychopoweranger]

@sigtavi6 Alchemy doesn't mix with illusion very well or at all for that matter. You can;t have it all! But I should start putting in a disclaimer that there is still 30 perks not mentioned in my videos. Use them for smithing if you like xD seeing as you want to max out for the best armor late game anyways =P

[crazyhead217]

and can u reset ur skill points??

[crazyhead217]

wats the max perk points u get??

[Psychopoweranger]

@crazyhead217 80 and nope! but hopefully there will be dlc that will change that !

[gurra152]

@crazyhead217 81 I think:)

[IceTeaNinja]

What race should I use for this build??

[Psychopoweranger]

@IceTeaNinja kahjiit or wood elf are night but dark elves work well too! I personally just used an imperial though all races work well to be honest =P

[RCBreaker]

Is animage and kindred mage useless if you have hypnotic gaze, aspect of terror and rage?

[Psychopoweranger]

@RCBreaker Nope they stack allowing you to effect even more powerful versions :)

[ZestfulCookie]

I love this build advice to get lvl 100 illusion use muffle with mage stone

[BARACUDAVICTORY]

Hey Physcho!! When you remaining 13, after you added the alchemy and enchanting, that mean't you don't have no more perk points? :( Because I want all those that you've mentioned, however I also desire, pick lock & pick pocket perks as well. Or does it mean i cannot get the two additional skills if I chose what you chose?

[BARACUDAVICTORY]

@BARACUDAVICTORY I meant when you said, "After having 13 points remaining, add it to alchemy & enchanting"

[Psychopoweranger]

@BARACUDAVICTORY you can do all of that if you get to level 81 =P but that will take quite some time! otherwise I wouldn't suggest this build to achieve that

[BARACUDAVICTORY]

@Psychopoweranger Psycho, does that mean I should follow your build first? than follow my dreams? LOL, because, I just started as a noob, and once i discovered pick pocketing, i robbed the whole town of riverdale, or that place where you meet the sister of ralof "gerdur", yeah that town. I leveled up to like level 7 by robbing that village. my next move is towards winterhold so i can learn illusion, and begin using asap as instructed by your video. Psyco, your so cool and educational! <3

[Psychopoweranger]

@BARACUDAVICTORY Follow your dreams! I just like sharing my builds! no reason to follow them exclusively !

[BARACUDAVICTORY]

@Psychopoweranger Psycho, I couldn't have done this without your proper guide, your pointers and tips are very understandable and deadly. You should be called Psycho Ghost. But with the thievery skills merging with your current build, would be very for filling, because when treading softly, you can easily pick pocket their equipment, which drops defense next to none, and leaves enemies naked LOL. So in case of any detection, it'd might not matter over all

[mrbuddha2026]

You don't need the perks that reduce Illusion spells' cost. You can make an Illusion enchanted apparel (4 pieces) with 25% less illusion spell cost and get a 100% spell reduction cost while wearing the whole set.

[Psychopoweranger]

@mrbuddha2026 I know of this, but I don't like wasting 4 of my enchants on it =/ especially the first 2 perks because it would be EXTREMELY hard to do this on master waiting till I could make perfect illusion armor

[mrbuddha2026]

@Psychopoweranger Ok, I understand. Nevertheless, nice video.

[Psychopoweranger]

@mrbuddha2026 Thanks brother!



[JustHuskyG]

What is the name of the gloves?

[Psychopoweranger]

@JustHuskyG Shrouded gloves :)

[JustHuskyG]

@Psychopoweranger What effect do they have on them. Should i have them or Dragon gloves

[Psychopoweranger]

@JustHuskyG you want everything dragon minus the gloves because you cannot put that effect on other gloves

[JustHuskyG]

@Psychopoweranger One last question :D What enchantment would u recordmend on the armor?

[Psychopoweranger]

@JustHuskyG I know its somewhere down in the comments =P check it out there!

[xXNinjaNiteSlasherXx]

@Psychopoweranger THis is possibly the longest conversation in the comment section on youtube I've ever seen

[Psychopoweranger]

@xXNinjaNiteSlasherXx ;) I like conversation!

[firejutsumaster777]

Illusion is my absolute favourite. Nice one, Luke ;D

[Psychopoweranger]

@firejutsumaster777 Yeah this one most definitely made illusion one of my favorite if not my favorite skill!

[OLC62]

Nvm just actually read below :P

[Psychopoweranger]

@OLC62 =P

[OLC62]

Where do u get the invisibility spell?

[AlisonPurpleRose]

Dont illusion spells only work up to lvl 21 or 25 if ure a vampire? What do you do with all the rage after?

[Kevin172737]

@Psychopoweranger oh ok and do you know if invisibility works on all levels/types of enemies if u don't put perks into the right side of the illusion tree cuz unlike most of the illusion spells discription it doesn't tell you the level of enemy it effects

[Kevin172737]

If your only using invisibility do you have to go up the middle of the illusion tree or can u just do the two sides

[Psychopoweranger]

@Kevin172737 Yeah you can definintely drop that part of the tree if you only want to use invisibility totally an option!

[SeriousVincent]

Does it only seem to me or are you just damn high in all of you videos?

[Psychopoweranger]

@SeriousVincent No drugs here my friend! =P

[Quorive]

When I level up, should I focus on my Magicka, health or stamina?

[Psychopoweranger]

@Quorive Magicka early =P so first 5 levels do magic then stamina for say five levels then health then finish magicka then focus a lot on stamina =P

[Pokemeimfat]

JW but what kinda of enchantments should i put on dragon armor... like should i disenchant the nightingale armor and puts its affects on the dragon scale armor?

[Psychopoweranger]

@Pokemeimfat Yeah nightingale armor would be just fine translated to DB armor =P

[ZestfulCookie]

where do you get the invisibility spell

[Psychopoweranger]

@ZestfulCookie hit level 75 illusion then talk to the guy who sells illusion spells in the mage college. Also you need to be known as the dragon born

[ZestfulCookie]

In the beginning of the game what stone should i use mage or theif

[Psychopoweranger]

@ZestfulCookie oh oh oh good question! thief :)

[AKKindaface]

why using db armor and not nightigale?

[Psychopoweranger]

@AKKindaface I use nightingale earlier in the build but its not as good as double enchanted Dragon Bone armor that is enhanced later on in the game due to the ability to do better enchantments

[gasolinenmatches23]

kewl im gonna try this one.

[Psychopoweranger]

@gasolinenmatches23 Good luck hope you enjoy it!

[Pokemeimfat]

and also how do he sustain invisability?

[Psychopoweranger]

@Pokemeimfat Yeah if you are experienced go the right side of the tree. The way you sustain invis is by striking an enemy. if he doesn't die or there are multipule enemies then you will have to wait in invisibility until they are no longer aware of you. When this happens your magicka will regen twice as fast :) when you are at 200 mana you can do two invisibility attacks before having to retreat to regen magicka.

Hope that helps!

[Pokemeimfat]

Another comment should i go the other way around black smithing to get Daedric weapons then dragon armor?

[Shikumaru123]

@Pokemeimfat You should always take the daedric side, because the Dragonscale armor is the best craftable light armor in the game, and the Daedric weapons are the best weapons, so you can make both if going that way.

[Psychopoweranger]

@Shikumaru123 Yeah but for people who don't know what they are doing that could be a rough path to go down! So I didn't give it as an option in this build but for future builds like Ep4 i will be saying this! silly

[Shikumaru123]

@Psychopoweranger Now I'm confused. Probably replied on my comment for pokemeimfat? x_X? It's true though, not an easy path to go down if they dont know what they're doing. Usually just because I'm me, I take the Light Armor Path and make some fancy glass armor :D.

[Pokemeimfat]

why do you even need smithing for this build? the only 2 reasons I see aren't even worth it:

1) daedric weapons--this is kind of useless, because the blade of woe is better

2) dragon armor--shrouded armor is better b/c it's actually light armor

wouldn't it be more useful to save your points in smithing and put it somewhere else? Unless I'm mistaken for some reason (like if heavy armor doesn't affect you for some reason or so

[Psychopoweranger]

@Pokemeimfat dragon armor can be made into two classes of armor. light armor (dragonscale) and heavy (dragon plate) with the combination of 2 enchantments to add to this said armor it far supersedes all shrouded with the acception of the gloves because that enchantment cannot be achieved. same goes with double enchanting the a daedric dagger which would be a matter of opinion on which would be stronger. But you're welcome to chose whatever perk pathing you wish :)

[Pokemeimfat]

@Psychopoweranger Thank you!

[Shikumaru123]

Lukeee it's bugging me that you get the light armor side on Smithing! The Daedric weapons are best, and dragonscale is the best light armor. Just take heavy every time unless you want to be fancy with glass armor.

[Psychopoweranger]

@Shikumaru123 Yeah when i made this video is was still semi new to the game and didn't know where to find armor to start off. I make a note of it in my 4th video that if you don't know where to get decent armor that it is wise to go left but if you have experiance in the game then go right ahah

[Shikumaru123]

@Psychopoweranger When Left4Counter commented on you reminding him of Trendkill (TrendKiLLv01) He probably meant because he makes character builds too, Nightblade, Illusionist assassin, Archer, Barbarian, Warrior, Battlemage, Mage, etc.

You still have unique builds, like the Alchemist Archer. Looking forward for your upcoming videos.

[Psychopoweranger]

@Shikumaru123 Ohhh makes sense =P

[Shikumaru123]

@Psychopoweranger You should watch his builds, you might get some ideas :-P

[Left4Counter]

u remind me of trendkill i fink its cos of ur voice

[Psychopoweranger]

@Left4Counter I dont know who that is! but thanks! :D

[MrRawrUnicorn]

Dark Elves is where its at for a vampire illusionist assassin

[Psychopoweranger]

@MrRawrUnicorn That is a good idea! I just don't like dark elves I don't play them ever =P my B!

[MyBuGGLes]

why should i waste my points to expert illusion when i can enchant my armor do not let illusion cost 0 magicka?

[Psychopoweranger]

@MyBuGGLes Do you really want to waste that much of your enchantment space on your armor? if so by all means don't xD

[HEROofLlamas]

@Psychopoweranger Like you said, it is amazingly fun and extremely over-powered in my opinion, fit for a a main character

[HEROofLlamas]

I use this build as my main, I am a Khajit theif/assassin guy...

[Psychopoweranger]

@HEROofLlamas Haha right on right on =P

[YugiohLeaderboard]

I've never seen a character build guide so detailed and perfect such as this one. You are my hero! <3

[Psychopoweranger]

@YugiohLeaderboard I'm glad I could be of service :) you are my hero for watching thank you !

[LifeisMusic37]

sweet

[Psychopoweranger]

@LifeisMusic37 You now how I do! ;)

[Tigercheez]

I honestly never thought of this. You are awesome!

[Psychopoweranger]

@Tigercheez I'm glad I could help! :) thank you! have fun!

[PlatinumSea]

This is great! I just wanted to know if I could combine shadow warrior with invisibility, if that would do anything. I also wanted to know if some creatures could still see you while invisible?

[Psychopoweranger]

@PlatinumSea What shadow warrior does it turn you invisible for a brief second to attempt to shake combat it doesnt work well with invis because you can stay invis for 30 seconds =P

and nope nothing can ;)

[444joker]

more skyrim and you have earned your self a subscriber! :)

[Psychopoweranger]

@444joker Let;s hope I do! 

[erikask55]

maybe got any tips by light armor fast leveling?

[Psychopoweranger]

@erikask55 Not exactly armor leveling is one of the biggest pains!

[xElaments]

I just use expert destruction spells in each hand wile using the master destruction robe that usually gets the job done. My last build was sneak illusion conjuration wile sneaking I would use rally on my two dremora lords so they can be even more powerful wile I do no work but that got boring really quick

[Psychopoweranger]

@xElaments Yeah I tried a build like that and got bored! though it is powerful! aha xd

[drinkbudyXD]

level illusion by using one novice hood,the muffle spell you can get from the mage in whiterun and Waiting 1 hour after using the spell,so you can prob get it to 100 takes about 30min

and you can lvl sneak by backstabbing the torturer,if he sees you just put him in a position to where you can get behind him,takes about 30 min to lvl this too

you get the novice hood from a corpse around there so be sure to take it,like this you can a lot of levels without any trouble

thumbs up is its usefull

[Psychopoweranger]

@drinkbudyXD That is very useful! But I personally don't like over saturating my skills like that! ahaha might as well just use console commands ;)

[drinkbudyXD]

@Psychopoweranger you still need to do it,with some skills like light armor,where you dont normally get hit,so you have to find mobs that hit you for very low dmg,and heal urself from time to time

oh and you can also lvl up 1handed at the start of the game too

using the console can screw your stats abit if you dont know some formulas,besides its not like its cheating,the game is just too easy :D

[Psychopoweranger]

@drinkbudyXD I see what you're saying ahah I just personally don't like raising skills in such a manner =P

[erikask55]

great build i will use it

[Psychopoweranger]

@erikask55 Wonderful glad to haer it! :)

[lestat84]

This build is too powerful, im using it its great..! Though, i do not use frenzy or fear much. May i reccomened putting a few points into alcemy so your dagger and bows are doing the most damage.

[Psychopoweranger]

@lestat84 Yeah sounds like a plausible option!

[TrendKiLLv01]

FYI, unless you're planning on going invisible a great distance away from your enemies, the Invisibility spell is nearly useless without the Silent Casting perk. Silent Casting is a MUST for any sneak based magic class like Nightblades or Agents (which is the actual name of an Illusion Assassin).

[Psychopoweranger]

@TrendKiLLv01 well then its a good thing I said to take it aha

[Bandidomuitoruim]

@Psychopoweranger Good day/afternoon/night, i sub to your channel and liked the video, you are very funny and good at Skyrim, may i ask you some things ?

1 : Would Nord be a good choice for Illusion/Sneak build ( Same build from this video ) ? I'm just choosing Nord for a better interpretation ..

2 : I read some comments, and i saw that Dragons will be a little difficult to kill, so, what's a good level to start the Main Quest ?

Sorry for the bad english, i'm from Brazil .. and thanks !

[Psychopoweranger]

@G00dGamerZ Yep once you get your shout you are for sure a dragon born you are good to get invisibility

[MegaHumanbean]

do some more builds!

[Psychopoweranger]

@MegaHumanbean I will I will ahaha xD

[robyndude101]

just saying if u add conjuration so u can summon 2 atronachs with a companion and use frenzy u can just sit back invisible and do little to no effort

[Psychopoweranger]

@robyndude101 But where's the fun in that ;)

[Psychopoweranger]

@G00dGamerZ You are too kind! =P

[volcomscooter29]

whats the point of 5 perks in enchanter because it only works with new enchantments.

[Psychopoweranger]

@volcomscooter29 To create new armor during the very late levels of the game :) haha

[keeganz1029]

3:36 Gaddafied!

[jimmipop1]

where do you find the invisibility spell

[Psychopoweranger]

@jimmipop1 get to level 75 illusion, be sure the world knows you as a dragonborn and the visit Drevis Neloren in the mages college to buy the spell :)

[klofto212]

HEY LUKE! YOU ROCK! I LOVE YOU, MAN!

Is 300 magicka really all that is needed for an illusionist who uses invis as the backbone of his stealth?

- Great vids, keep 'em coming! ;)

[Psychopoweranger]

@klofto212 Yep! that will do just about it :)

[frenZy6200]

what to do if you also want to incorporate archery with the sneaky illusion mix? 

[shadow6reather]

geez i can 20x 1 hit ko a ginat who cares about 30 AND I AM LEVEL 14

[Psychopoweranger]

@shadow6reather

Right on! are you on master? because that seems unlikely =P

[shadow6reather]

@Psychopoweranger well i think that charecter was my most sucsessful and i was wearing nitingale stuff with ancent shrouded stuff i dont know maybe beacuse i have almost the whole sneak and one handed tree filled out i dont know

[Psychopoweranger]

@shadow6reather Could be! I commend you all the same :) very impressive if you did so !

[KingKujo321]

I need a good archery class but i like to use 2 handed weapons too?

[Psychopoweranger]

@KingKujo321 Sadly they don't mix very well :( but there is no stopping you from doing it! I personally have a thing against 2h weapons so I could just be wrong in general!

[shadow6reather]

@Psychopoweranger dude 2 handed and bows WITH ilusion is awsome trust me

[allexlasse2]

Why go on dragon armor if u can use daedric weapons? 

[Psychopoweranger]

@allexlasse2 Dragon Armor enhances to higher stats than daedric =P

[allexlasse2]

@Psychopoweranger Yes, but daedric weapons are much more effcient, and u can use nightingale instead of dragon armor

[Psychopoweranger]

@allexlasse2 Nighten gale is less efficient than dragon after you can enchant well =P I personally use nighten gale right now but I will not be once I get my enchanting up ;)
