The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Character Creation - Mage Class Build - Part 2

[Tanixification]

My character is a battlemage I always have a bound sword on my right hand, some random spell in the other wearing dragonscale armor with flame atronach. At my side.

[JogixCOD]

@Tanixification you should get spectral assassin instead of flame antronach (u get assassin from dark brotherhood)

[RoTaZooR]

Can u not make a part 3 with the armors and enchantments and some stuff? =)

[hellboy654456]

i used to like being sneaky, but when i tryed out mage, i loved it.

[mrjkamm123]

my ears hurt from the "puhs"

[adventuretimeowns]

Hmm... Getting 2 atronachs at my side, along with lydia... and my spectral assassin... and a temporary hakon one-eye or odahviig...? i think i'm going to enjoy this.

[isphus]

@adventuretimeowns The assassin and Hakon count as summons. You cant have them AND the atronachs.

[mandude846]

I played a mage but around level 50 i started turning into a warrior ! paralyze + 0 cast cost + any melee weapon = instant fun

[ripebananapeel]

What is AoE or whatever? Ive heard it and things but I dunno.

[GetCrepedOn]

@ripebananapeel area of effect. the adept and some master spells in destruction are AoE because its something like: 50 damage over 15 feet

[MrIain88]

have a question

isnt daedric better than dragonarmor? cause in the smithguide dragon is mentioned im pretty new and dont want to mess upon ps3 when u cant undo something with console^^

[Kancon1]

@MrIain88 deadric is better but the hearts are hard to get, and if you are using light armor you can make dragonscale armor which is the best light armor.

[adventuretimeowns]

@Kancon1 Daedra hearts aren't hard to get. Talk to the quest where you get an amulet for a guy in the mage's guild, and then every 2 days Enthir has about 2 or 3 daedra hearts.

[BmGxRaze]

What level should I get heavy armor

[oddboyin1]

Dude the most important tree is alchemy so u can make the enchanting and smithing so much better

[xKCBEx]

confirmed, magic is overpowered in Skyrim. You can be a total badass by level ten. Why would you play as anything but a Mage?

[NaxualTube]

but demora lords are awesome

[DallasIsRokkoS]

hey, what would be a good build for a rouge that also uses destruction?

[BleuTheMilotic]

lol I am only half way to conjuaration 100 ): I still have long ways

[2dL]

Note: you won't be good until you get the impact perk, that's true. After that, you will be a lot better

[foojuice101]

Hehe. My mage character is like Zeus already. He could pretty much take on the entire Aldmeri Dominion single-handedly XD

[shadowdemons117]

@foojuice101 DRIVE THOSE THALMORE BICHES OUT OF SKYRIM!!!!WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?!?!

[foojuice101]

@shadowdemons117

Well, I feel sorry for the Thalmor. It must be hard for them to know that my mage can kick their arses out of the fucking solar system at any time. Look at me wrong? Goodbye Thalmor. Ancano wants to eat the last sweetroll? Oh, I want to exterminate the Aldmeri Dominion.

The Thalmor only exist because I let them exist, and I only let them exist because I want them to have their fun before I eradicate them all :D

Being an overpowered mage is the most amazing thing lol

[OblivionZealot]

@foojuice101 Same thing here. Everyone lives becasue I allow them to, I don't like the looks of that hunter? *BAM* He is now ashes.

[foojuice101]

@OblivionZealot

I think my mage should be the Emperor lol. If it actually happened, then the Empire wouldn't have to worry about a couple of ragtag little Thalmor fucks ever again XD

[TheMrawesomeusername]

5 WITH BRENLAYA MAYRON WITH FROST ATRONACH

[d3nnis83]

dude! do tank build " heavy armor, one-handed weapons, and a shield! do it



[noname12327]

@d3nnis83 that is basically his warrior build, check it out

[Kikipet54]

@d3nnis83 He already did it...

[phoebsxD]

HAHA @ the name Magelol. Your videos are really helpful! Thank you for making them :)

[TheMipeidan]

I actually use a class that I named "Armsmaster" but what he says about the Restoration "Avoid death" is soooo true. Even on my Armsmaster, it's saved my ass a few times.

[jays2017]

Do a necromancer please.

[jays2017]

Do a necromancer please.

[SakuyaFM]

You have to make sure you either have a 50% reduction on Conjuration from enchants or the Master Conjuration if you pursue this tree. 100 Conjuration plus Master Conjuration requires roughly 250 magicka. Of course, if you only use Dremora Lords, you could get away from just the 100 skill for the 40% reduction.

[Nihilius88]

Ebonyflesh (master spell) is the best armor/alteration spell it gives 100 armor for 60sec and with mage armor its 400 armor for 60 sec...just a remainder for those of us who roleplay mage build and dont use armors :)

[Nihilius88]

@Nihilius88 corection Ebonyflesh is expert spell in alteration :P

[GamingGoobs]

@Nihilius88 Isnt there an improved version given by tolfdir at around 95 alteration that is master?

[chathamscooters]

you should put all the steps in a list. it would be easier to fallow and you could print it off so you dont need the pc

[SakuyaFM]

@chathamscooters There's something called "pen and paper."

[chathamscooters]

@SakuyaFM sweet your a "smart ass" the whole point of the list was so you didnt have to follow the video. writing it down would mean you would have to "follow the video"

[SakuyaFM]

@chathamscooters Better to be a smart-ass than a lazy-ass.

[chathamscooters]

@SakuyaFM your sitting there playing a video game... thats being lazy

[SakuyaFM]

@chathamscooters Doing something unproductive != laziness. However not doing anything at all is.

lazy: averse or disinclined to work, activity, or exertion

L2English.

[chathamscooters]

@SakuyaFM boobs

[SakuyaFM]

@chathamscooters TITTAYS

[slayer2463]

i think that if you do the conjuration class if you use bound weapons you should get the perk called oblivion binding it will send the summoned enamys back to oblivian it saved me quite often

[goshuajoshua]

Daedric armor is better by a small amount. But I like the looks of both the light and heavy dragon armor the most.

[TheToma12]

4 person wait if shadowmere joined its 5

[LeprechaunInsanity]

I LIKE ALTERATION! but yeah, good vid

[27albertox]

put more gameplay on ur vidios ty

[D4rkH4wk54]

Nice name for your character, br0.

[Arachnophobic77]

Do runes stun the enemy/enemies

[chuckthecow]

Daedric armor better...

[xUrsusxXX]

@chuckthecow For a mage i think it would be best not to waste points on the right side of the tree since you arent going to be using weapons. And yes daedric is better than dragon by a small amount. Dragon weighs less if you dont have the heavy armor perk or steed stone. I think the armor level cap (IF there is one) is suppose to be around 570-600 so both armors fill the cap.

[Rawbh]

i thought daedric plate armor is better than dragon armor?

[alienraven]

mage armor does'nt max out at 150 it maxs out at 300

[Maxable2]

I made a mage char. But I was wondering would it be good to do illusion too?

[InuYashaMart]

I thought I knew a lot about this game, this guy completely mindblown me with the "no mana cost reduction" perk reasoning.

[MEGBOB7]

0:07 "Dhovakin, Dhovakin, not a single sardine!"

[DeJaViewLtd]

Nice job man. I'm totally making a Mage now

[mibankai1171]

Ya you do need mster conjuration i checked the mana cost for the thralls even at half mana cost its still 600 to cast 1200 without you wont have enough magica to last.

[Maxable2]

What bout assassin like the db quests?

[Maxable2]

Wait would it be good to have a shield too?

[Ezio9heAssassin]

@MyRig3 Yes, you need the thrall spells for the guys to last :D

[Shinykoffing23]

Wait, are u supposed to increase your destruction first is what your saying or rank them up equaly? I mean in perks and such?

[Tappe70]

Thank you ive always been either a thief style or a worrior style i wasnt sure how to put a mage class together until i founf these videos

[LOLwafflesPRODUCTION]

Now, I wonder about your opinion of Dremora Lords, they are devastating, but not permanent, unfortunately.

[LOLwafflesPRODUCTION]

I was going skip the ad, but then Clint Eastwood came up talking about Super Bowl and Detroit.

[Isigisch]

Magelol xD

[IareKyonakayama]

Personally, I get the first two bound weapon perks. I like using the bound bow for soul trapping. It's convenient

[MrCuteNFuzzy]

Time to go play for 4-5 hours, until 1am :D

[m4memolaredo]

What a n00b. Getting +novice spell school is useless. You can save the points with enchanting 25% fortify... and end up saving several perk points. Don't get half mana cost perks to spell schools you are going to fortify with enchantment. Otherwise quite decent video

[KRterrorKR123]

thanks man, very professional commentary 

[greevsy01]

Treasure hunter

[DanishSubmarine]

Magelol, find this word thing in the video :D

[Chunkeymunkey701]

@overload347

cheers



[GeekFromTheFarEast]

He sounds like me, either thief, archer, or mage

[XxDejavuzZXx]

Thanks

[aricept12]

this is the best character build guide ive seen in all of skyrim and oblivion

[overload374]

Am I the only one that hears the words in the song, like how he says 'Dovakiin" twice in the beginning?

[Chunkeymunkey701]

Isn't deadric better than dragon plate? I thought it had a better armour rating.

[overload374]

@Chunkeymunkey701 it does, but heavier that dragon plate too, and weight of armor doesn't affect speed as much as armor type (light or heavy) the dragon scale light armor is the best smithable light armor. It's kinda vice-versa with the heavy armor deal, elven has worse armor rating, but weighs next to nothing

[owensamrob]

@Chunkeymunkey701 Yeah, but with enchanting they both end up the same, and dragon bones are easier to come by.

[VermillionMan1]

i had better success with raising dead than summoning

[xToAsTa]

@VermillionMan1 summoning dragon priests and demora lords are MUCH better than reanimating a mere mortal.

[VermillionMan1]

@xToAsTa for sure but i still have not had any major problem with raising dead. it was fun and saved me a bunch of times

[zaensavage]

What's the best class to be in skyrim i cant decide

[MrCarrot14]

if your unstoppable with destruction healing and conjuration perks, why would you need dragon armour?

[Joshudan64]

About restoration, isn't Grand Healing an expert spell? I love to do that one and let my follower really tank, WoW-style

[MrRagge5]

HAHAHA everytime he sais the letter "P" it makes a weird noise like he is slapping the mic, or hitting it in the table! :)

[Crosby4hyg]

I'd actually recommend against getting the disintegration perk. I find that when playing on the xbox the disintegration animation tends to really make my game bug out sometimes, and i've even had occasions when i couldn't finish a quest because of this. I dunno maybe it's because my xbox is absolutely ancient but like trendkill said there's really no good reason to get any of the three final elemental perks.

[fool84]

I didn't understood one thing in the conjuration tree... I have to do the right path with the master conjuration or not? If yes I have to do it before or after the left path with twin souls? Thanks

[StockexRaynieftw]

@fool84 Do the left side first, that takes priority, then you can choose whether you want the master conjuration perk i would reccomend going up that side for the reason he said in the video but only go up that side once you've got Twin Souls

[MegaProRacer]

@fool84 no u dont have to

[18Leashh]

Hey, I've been playing skyrim with a barbarian, it's level 26 but I don't know, the game never seems to change, I mean, the scenery, ancient tombs and enemies are always the same, I kinda get bored, so I want to play with a mage, I have a few questions. First, does the game get better or different as you level up ?, then, Should I start with restoration after getting Impact or Adept destruction ?

[Kush4DaFin]

they have a Twin Souls Guarding Stone

[icerac00n45]

There's actually an expert level Restoration spell called Grand Healing which heals you and everyone around you 300 points

[KarloVl]

frost, fire or shock? :(

what to choose?

[MrDesmond133]

@KarloVl for me, I take it all.

frost is good against melee type enemies. it's damage their stamina and health, so they will use less power attack.

fire is my primary attack, as for skyrim mostly is snowy place. it's useful against that annoying frost troll.

as for shock it's very useful against mage, shock damage mana and health.

[TXSTEPHENTX]

@KarloVl

FIRE!!

[MaTe12121]

@KarloVl with fire you deal a little bit more damage, shock is really good against other mages or thing that use magicka, and frost is only good against people that use power attacks or melee, and since you are supposed to be far away and play deffensively, is pretty retarded, but if you only choose one of the three, you will be fucked in certain ocasions cause you may get attacked by people immune to whatever you choosed

[15brosnant]

Are wards any good?

[Lolilol92000]

@15brosnant Meh, it depends ... But they usually suck ballz deeply .

[15brosnant]

Are wards useful?

[cjot123]

I'm a battle Mage

[TheMarxion]

This helped me out. I'm a mage and I use Destruction, Restoration, but what do any of you think about Illusion and Alteration.

[demonfoxnaruto95]

@TheMarxion illusin is good for going invisible and driving people crazy or calm

[TheMarxion]

@demonfoxnaruto95 I heard the crazy part, but it helps. Thank you

[MegaProRacer]

how do i know which spells are novice, aprrentice, expert or master level spells?

[Ectopalism]

@MegaProRacer you can check them when you go in the magic section it says the spell and its level

[Smithyrules247]

how do i use the little ball in my hand for fire ?

[Ectopalism]

@Smithyrules247 its a spell fireball or firebolt

[A0MAccounts]

What is a battlemage ???

[blackartist321]

@A0MAccounts Half warrior-class (swords and shields), half mage.

[dustymyboy]

hey is it possible to destroy the archmage robes then put them on armor or can you not destroy robes?

[the0glitter]

masturbation fail ><"

[YoungBenWPG]

Imagine skyrim online...

[OMGCREEPERLOL]

@YoungBenWPG O_o

[ArthDragon14]

Name: Magelol

[MRKetter81]

@tstj93 Vampire gets 25% better illusion and sneak.. but there's so many down sides.. It's up to you. I'd go neither =p (keep your rest buff which is a 10% increase to leveling speed. Both vampire and Werewolf lose the resting buff.

[TerminatedGamer]

@tstj93 werewolf, absolutely

[mewtwo700]

ahhh skyrim talk....music to my ears

[Lolilol92000]

@mewtwo700 Red Dead Redemption reference ? " music to my ears " .

[TimeToRecover]

I thinl trendkill should add in like certain stones for builds like for mage the apprentice or the mage stone?

[SoCalAries]

@mfgGarand I had 500 before it felt like enough using expert destruction spells

[fluffyforpeace]

I go with conjuration and archery i like to summon a few monsters into the fray then sit back and snipe everybody as my astronachs distract them

[SnackSniper13]

I've been running a Breton necromancer with just conjuring and alteration and using bound weapons I need Mage armor :D

[Seymourb00bz]

I enjoyed this guide alot, but I was wondering something. Have you tried getting up till Necromage in restoration? if you are a vampire you actually get a 25% boost on all spells which is amazing, the only downside I have is the fact that I need to feed and I hardly can do anything during day.

[Kobe10032]

are the master conjuration summons invincible? because he said they are summoned until you die...

[MyRig3]

One question: can someone please help me with the whole '2 conjured dudes stay permanently' thing? :/ I'm lvl 100 conjuration and I went with novice conjuration, summoner (2/2), atromancy, elemental potency, and twin souls... I got the spells for 'conjure flame atronach', 'conjure frost atronach', and 'conjure storm atronach' yet they all still last only for a while... Do I have to get the thrall spells? :(

[13thAngelOfDoom]

@MyRig3 @MyRig3 Yes. Only the thrall spells remain permanently (until they die). This also works with necromancy.

[FusionCicada]

@MyRig3 Yes you need the thrall spells. The Thralls are the permanent summons.

[ziodice]

I'm gonna make a necromancer, just for fun. (I think that owuld be ice magic, and dead raise type spell? o:)

[ethosflux]

four person party sounds like an invitation for friendly fire.

[Emertex7]

lostinspace94 I'm pretty sure flame atronachs are 100% INVINCIBLE to all fire damage. Good luck with that.

[Emertex7]

My pure mage: respite+dual fast heal= life saving sprints away from mammoth/giant/bear fights gone wrong.

[wiidude250]

Dovakin Dovakin For the sake of skyrim For our lands For our homes For hagrathar's blood For the nords and the gods For the sole single son Dovakin Dovakin Who'll dawn with fire

[MegaHeadlesshorseman]

hey trendkill will u plz tell me which element is better all around for a pure mage build: frost lightning or fire. thannks

[lostinspace94]

@MegaHeadlesshorseman two most important are Lighting and Fire... Lighting does magika damage as well as damage to health so its extremely helpful when fighting some of your own type (mages) for it drains their mana and renders them useless... and Fire. for it does alot of damage on impact plus Burn damage afterwords for all the other cocksuckers that try to kill you. :) lmao.

[KEiho99]

Hey Dude I have a Q :

Could you make a Viking type of warrior ?I mean a Warrior that uses only Axes and what Axe's i Should Use *i wana make a Olaf character in Skyrim Olaf=LoL * (i haven';t watch all of them )

[cookieman305]

PLEASE OH PLEASE culd you possibly do a mage build p.s i subbed

[ll61ll]

@crazysim9 100% destruction reduction enchants :)

[Zaxomio]

i have like 4 skills leftover permenently, what am i supposed to spend these on i dont have high enough resto, destro and conju to get more in those trees

[dubcraft97]

can someone explain to me the permanent atronach thing to me?

[DarkGrif]

For the magicka, health, and stamina leveling goes. Leveling magicka till 16 leaves you very squishy. When you are going up against the last boss of the mage quests, you will want that extra health, even if you pick up extra magic resist. A 2-1 magicka-health conversion is working so far for me.

[IronMaiden881000]

Quick question.

If you choose to have a follower with you should you go for one who is the same class as you or not the same, like if your playing a mage should you have a mage type character with you or should you bring a warrior or something else with you to make up for the abilities you don't have.

[lostinspace94]

@IronMaiden881000 later on in the school of destruction you start having AOE spells and its EXTREMELY hard to have a warrior type follower bcuz you try to shoot the enemy, then your spell blows up and injures your follower which pisses them off and they come after you... if you want a follower (for like carrying stuff) get a ranged (either another magic or bows) and train in conju till you can cast Summon Dremora Lord. these are warrior type summons that you can abuse all day and they wont turn

[lostinspace94]

@lostinspace94 on you when you try to kill the same enemy theyre killing. lol.

[charispana]

the best mage build 100 enchanting for 100% reduce magicka cost 100 conjuration for twin souls and to be able to buy conjure dremora lord from the college of winterhold join the dark brotherhood for spectran assassin and get a conjurer companion and sit backand watch the show. You have 5 companions to do your dirty work :)

[G0dKill3r1]

nice build dude im gonna try it

[ShadowRaptor88296]

deadric armor betta thn dragon

[oOJoeCoolOo]

@ShadowRaptor88296 That is true, actually, The Daedric armor is better. Which I thought was kinda lame, since you spend a lot of time killing all these dragons and you take their very bones and scales to make a set of armor truly fitting for Dovahkiin himself.... When in actuality you can just spend a lot of money on Ebony and Daedra Hearts and make the best armor just like that. Whatever. Lol.

[chucknorris584a]

I was happy that I got master level in conjuration is so wort it cus u can summon more powerful deabra nd they f**king eat everything !!!!!

[xDrought]

Can someone help me? I want to use illusion as a defensive school, and i'll need Alteration for mage armor buff. That's two trees already and I don't now if I'll need restoration because I'll have invisibility for defense to recover. So...Illusion/Alteration/Destr­uction? Illusion/Restoration/Destruct or Conjuration?

[xDrought]

@xDrought Fuck it lol, illusion/conjuration (as offense? destruct sounds boring)/heavy armor(conditioning) illusion for invisibility/muffle.. D:

[lostinspace94]

@xDrought DO NOT RELY ON INVISIBILITY!!! it doesnt work as well as ppl may think. if youre already "detected" it will not automatically make you "hidden" nor does it keep you hidden very well. they can still hear you, very well actually. Invisibility only truely works if youre standing still or moving really slow. also anytime you use the "X" button and when you attack while invisible you automatically become visible again. IF youre using Illusion as a defensive type, then id go for the "fury"

[lostinspace94]

@lostinspace94 spells or the "calm" spells for they will allow you to put alot of distance between you and your attacker so you can recover... basically i use Illusion as more of an "im bored lets go into this hold and cause mayhem" type thing. lmao. Alteration is ok. there are some decent/helpful spells in that line (such as Telekinesis or Paralyze) but i wouldnt use the wards unless you have a VERY VERY high Alteration Cast Reduction becuz ward spells drain you mana extremely quick.

[lostinspace94]

@lostinspace94 as for Destruction and Conjuration? i specialize in those. they are my favorite class. lol. Destruction youll mainly want to focus on Lighting, becuz its a great defense against other mages for it also does damage to ones mana, and Fire. for all the other cocksuckers. lol. fire has relatively high damage but its Burn damage after it hits is where it shines. plus theres nothing thats resists Fire, and all the weakness in the game are fire (like the Trolls). WARNING: when your

[lostinspace94]

@lostinspace94 destruction gets to high lvls, its advised to NOT have warrior followers! higher lvl destruction spells deal AOE damage... so if you have a warrior follower whose attacking a Drouger and you decide to cast Firebolt (which does 50 points of damage and explodes to do damage in a 15 ft radius) at that Drouger, it pisses your follower off, and they turn on you and try to kill you. BUT THATS WHERE CONJURATION COMES IN!!!

[lostinspace94]

@lostinspace94 conjuration allows you to summons creature to take the place of you warrior meat shields, things you summon will not turn on you so its ok to abuse them as much as possible... now lvling up Conjuration to 100 is ok. its cool to have Frost/Flame/Storm/Dead Thrall (specially Dead Thrall. lol.) which allow you to summon/re-animate something "permanently" (its in quotation marks becuz even tho there is no time limit, they are NOT invincible. after they die in battle you will have to

[lostinspace94]

@lostinspace94 re-conjure them) theres one spell in particular in the conjuration school that makes the life of a mage a whole-hell-of-alot-easier... Summon Dremora Lord. these guys are badasses. extremely tough. extremely powerful. they deal shit tons of damage and theyre melee type summons so you can use them as meat shields as you cast your high lvl destruction spells... they do not turn on you. you dont have to worry about them dying cuz you can just re-summon them... they are the PERFECT

[lostinspace94]

@lostinspace94 replacement for any warrior type follower you were using before... the only downside is, you cant use them as mules. Sidenote: Restoration is an ok skill tree. helps in tight spots and the extra mana regeneration skill is helpful but i wouldnt spend alot of skill points in it. not alot of ppl get that close to hit you with Dremora Lords guarding you. lol.

[lostinspace94]

@xDrought i hope my explaination helps. :)

[crazysim9]

@mfgGarand Lol, you're one of the many people that have replied with that same comment. Trendkill said NOT to get Apprentice Conjuration or anything higher than that.

[lostinspace94]

@crazysim9 TrendKill is "God of Skyrim" and he said it himself "i usually dont go for the mage classes. im the sneaky bow guy" yes. some of his tips are helpful for beginners, but some (like this one) are false. the first rule in using a mage is "find a way to use as least mana as possible" yes. you can fortify your armor, but you cant do that till way later into the game. the quickest and easiest method is to get the different lvls (Novice, Master, ect.) of whatever school youre using. :)

[mindh4kzor]

UR NAME MAGELOL WTF?? XD

[cbwinsbig]

Just a little something:- you can enchant 4 pieces of armour,/ jewelery with fortify destruxtion and event another spell school when lvl 100 enchanting... This allows 100% reduction in mana cost for up to 2 schools of magic,, aka, unlimited heal/ unlimited fireball etc:3
