Dunmer can inherently summon their ancestor spirits in battle. Spirit summons would make sense.

[@ahmadabiyoso5050]

That's a great idea

[@Never_Raines]

Was just about to say the same thing myself!

[@justinpetersonpeterson8140]

Right plus dark elves are good with conjuration… I was thinking about doing a Naravarine build and first thing I thought was “flame incantations for destruction magic and spirit summons for conjouration” I had no idea what to do for the weapon though, so this video helped immensely in that department.

[@TheValkyre0]

My brain autofilled the title and I was confused because "Of COURSE you can beat Morrowind as the Nerevari-" and then it caught up.

[@wasteexplorer1133]

Even if the answer would be of course you could I wouldn't mind a lore accurate nevar run or playthrough from JBN or his take on one if there is one out already... cause honestly his morrowind videos are top tier so if JBN sees this comment all I have to say is in the words of emperor Palpatine "dew it"

[@thenumberfour2432]

Another good weapon to use for a Nerevarine build would be the Monk's Flameblade, it even has flame in its name. Only issue with it is that it's a random drop from an enemy that appears near the end of the game unfortunately, looks really close to Trueflame though!

[@Greywander87]

To be fair, I _knew_ Flaming Strike was a weapon buff ash, and for a moment I thought I'd been scammed. I had to look up how to actually apply the buff. It really is a good ash. It doesn't come out as fast as Catch Flame, sadly, but it does cover a wider arc and it's super cheap. Something interesting to note is that Fire ashes scale with STR, and so do more damage with a Heavy affinity than Fire. Ditto for Lightning ashes on a Keen affinity. That said, the weapon buff will perform better on a matching affinity.

[@docwarlock6398]

@@Greywander87 if you make something heavy/keen, it doesn't add the elemental damage and instead just bumps the STR/DEX scaling up. the elemental damage is only dealt when its affinity is set as Fire/Flame Art/Lightning, and then it scales off of STR/FAI/DEX respectively. the heavy and keen affinities do more damage because split damage is almost always lower than pure phys

19:21 these 15% are somewhat (if not completly) offset by the fact that it also gives you more vigor and endurance.

one little trick with Morgott and the other form he takes is with the delayed attacks, you can take the time to run all the way to their side, or watch the hilt of their weapon, once it moves slightly, the attack is coming and you need to roll right then or take a holy hammer bonk
