[@simonwahlen7150]

I think one thing you could have mentioned is an almost infinite shout cooldown stacking you can do with this. Talos amulet + talos blessing + spectral dragon armor = 60% cooldown reduction. Necromage + bloodworm helmet = 56% stronger effects and 50% longer. Stacked together you get 93 ~ 94% ish shout cooldown reduction. Which is enough to either spam breath attacks or stack buffs like slow time and shout summons. Be the reality warping undead dragon god you where ment to be.

[@alexcrowder1673]

Theres also the stormbear armor for another -20% cooldown. You can now exceed 100% without using the fortify restoration glitch or the wearing multiple amulets glitch.

Telvanni wizard vampire was the most fun playthrough I ever had, installed a shit-ton of magic/vampire related mods to make it more immersive, including spell mods that would make me the most OP wizard ever.

[@TheSynthPunk]

I mean, that's why Neloth considered replacing his own heart with a heartstone, but never went through with it - negatives massively outweighed positives. It would be the same with other Telvanni and vampirism. While you are more powerful and technically immortal, you still have to take a risk that Molag Baller will trap your soul forever should you die. Power's a virtue, but so is the foresight to know how much you pay for this power in the future.

[@charlesdarwin6300]

Staff of Worms is pretty different from Dead Thrall. First, it is able to target some creatures. Many are useless but some have potential, notably Draugr and Falmer. Draugr are glass cannons with no armor or resists, but the damage output and the awesomness of shouts is undeniable. Second, it counts as a lesser reanimation for the purpose of Elite and Ascendant necromancer robes. That means 3 thralls total with Twin Souls. Third, a minor one, it gives a fortify health regen effect. That means that thralls that naturally have health regen (Vampires notably, but I think most undead would be in that category) have it boosted. All in all the staff is way more powerful than what the information online about it is available, apart from being immensely powerful by itself, providing arguably the strongest spell in the game for free at level 1.

[@bable6314]

Dead Thrall also Fortifies the Thrall's health regen. This said, I wonder if the Staff will make thralls that don't instantly die when you transform into Vampire Lord. Very odd bug, that. Nobody seems interested in fixing it.

[@alexcrowder1673]

@@bable6314 Ive encountered a bug where one of my thralls didnt die when transforming. Use dead thrall for your 1st 2 thralls but use the staff for number 3 (youll need the enchant that adds +1 to summons). For some reason, when doing this, thrall number 3 will persist even as a vampirelord or werewolf. Nowdays i never use vampirism though because i realized i could glitch the game i to permanently flagging me as undead instead, which is much better because i dont have the sunlight and fire weaknesses vampires get. Even in the base game you can be a literal lich. It just took people like 12 years to discover how. You can also survive being dead thralled by your own follower and use a black book to regain player controls! literally a lich! Its not related to the permanent undead flag glitch, but the 2 glitches still go VERY well together.

[@alexcrowder1673]

@@charlesdarwin6300 Just a tip, start a new game and go to maras eye pond. Now go in the hatch in the center and contract vampirism inside. Do not do ANYTHING until vampirism progresses fully. Now go across the pond to gallows hall and pickup the bloodworm helm. Now if you go cure yourself with falion while wearing the helm, youll be PERMANENTLY flagged as undead no matter how many times you cure vampirism. In fact theres no way to ever unflag yourself. This works for any system, no mods or console commands needed. From here you can get necromage etc and it all works without actually being a vampire! The reason this works is because new player not technically being flagged as alive or undead yet.You do not get flagged as living or dead until you see a spell, perk, or item that differentiates between life and death. These include but are not limited to dawnbreaker and anything with sun damage, the necromage perk, the bloodworm helm, detect life, detect dead, and the turn undead spells. If you are living when you 1st encounter these, youll forever be flagged as living UNLESS currently a vampire. however, if you are already a vampire when you 1st see them, youll be permanently flagged as undead! EVEN after vampirism is cured. ps: you have to cast the raise dead spells etc for a second time in order for them to give the passive healing effect. Itll also disappear after long loading screens. however, it can be cast on the player if you stand infront of a follower trying to use the staff of worms on a body. When applied to the player, you will have increased health regen. For whatever reason this effect is NOT removed from the player after long loading screens. it only gets removed from living followers and dead thralls on long loads. also, as for armor, warlord gathrik has nearly the armor cap in armor. Hes also the tallest humanoid in the game, standing 25% taller than all other deathlords. I woulsnt call him a glass cannon at all. Hes more like a tank! He does get stuck sometimes though (too tall). the only thing i dont lile about him ia that i cannot change his armor to whatever i want like i can with non undead type thralls. Apparently vampires and draugr are the only ones you cant glitch different armor onto. all the other humanoid thralls can be made into mind controll spider thralls and this lets you change their armor whenever you want. it also allows dead thralls to sneak and draw their weapons when the player does just like a typical follower would. just time using a mind control spider and pickpocking them at the same time. If it works they will equip anything you give them as long as its better than their own gear (or if you just removed their old gear that works too). I know this is getting long, but i highly reccomend getting miraak and gormlaith goldenhilt as dead thralls. i also highly reccomend getting the psijic robes. All of this and more is now possible thanks to new glitches discovered over just the past few years. you can also permanently buff destruction potions duration too. so magic is now as strong as you could ever desire. You can even permanently make cloaks do 1000's per second and have INFINITE range. Everything dies before it even loads in and youll get up 3 dragon souls randomly every time you fast travel, because itll be raining dragons.

If you: 1) wear the helmet as a vampire. 2) Aquire the Necromage perk. 3) unequip the helmet. 4) reequip. Can you boost the power of Necromage itself. And then get that boosted power to boost the helmet. Which boosts everything else even more.

[@alexcrowder1673]

No because the helmet effect is treated a perk and not as an armor enchant. At most you get a total of a 56% bonus by stacking the helm with necromage. Keep in mind, you do not have to actually be a vampire to benefit from these. You can permanently flag yourself as undead instead of being a vampire in order to avoid the negative side effects of vampirism. This trick can only be done on brand new characters though.

[@purpledevilr7463]

@@alexcrowder1673 flag yourself as undead without vampire? I don’t use mods or edits like that. - I am a glitch purist.

[@alexcrowder1673]

​@@purpledevilr7463Yes. make a new game and go straight to maras eye pond as soon as you escape helgen. Climb in the hatch in the center of the pond and get vampirism from the weak vampire inside. Next wait until sanguinare vampiris fully progresses to vampirism. Now that you are undead, go into the gallows hall (its at maras eye pond also). do the quest and get the bloodworm helm and put it on. now go to falion and cure vampirism with the helm on. You are now permanently undead and absolutely nothing will ever remove your indead flag. you can even become a vampire again or a vampire lord, and cure it as many times as you like... youll still be flagged as undead. The reason this works is because certain items and spells lock a player into being flagged as living or dead. Brand new characters are technically neither until they encounter one of these special spells or items. The bloodworm helm happens to be one of these spells or items. So by going straight to the pond, we are ensuring the 1st one of these items or spells that we encounter happens while we are a vampire and hence undead. This causes the game to decide you are undead and apply the undead flag to you permanently. this is why it wont work on an existing character. there are a ton of spells and a few items that apply the flag of either living or dead. Its very hard to avoid all of them unless you become undead straight away and then intentionally flag yourself immediately afterwards with the bloodworm helm. You can get necromage at any point after becoming a vampire or getting the undead flag. do NOT take necromage before because its one of the spells i mentioned. it can lock you into undead if taken while undead, but it can also lock you into being living if taken to early. if you have any questions feel free to ask. there are a TON more glitches that i know that you wont find on youtube very easily.

Isn't there another CC addon that adds the Dragonbone Cuirass into the game as well? That could fit well with this build, sort of.

The Night Thief perk from Pickpocketing synergizes well with feeding upon sleeping enemies, as does charging the Skull of Corruption. The Skull’s damage can only be increased beyond 50 points through Weakness to Magic poisons. It is affected by no perks, however the Night Thief & Poisoned perks from the Pickpocket skill tree are very useful for this purpose versus sleeping enemies. Furthermore, Vampirism is useful with the Skull, Pickpocket perks & killing enemies in such a fashion due to the Sneak bonus & ability to feed prior to harvesting a dream charge & killing the target. Finally, having the Ring of Namira equipped as well will allow the corpse to be eaten for further statistical gain. The safest way to feed on sleeping targets is by using an Invisibility effect first, as feeding is one of the few things that does NOT deactivate Invisibility. Please make this build real!

There is yet another thing... In aniversary you have stone flowers that makes x2 fortify enchantment potions, so you can go even beyond this.

[@Leto85]

Oh wow. I knew the helmet was amazing, but that you can resurrect even stronger thralls brings this up to a whole new level.

[@Tiagocf2]

Necromage is uber OP with crafting, you can legitemely get 5k damage weapons with smithing boosts, now imagine that with DOUBLE NECROMAGE lmao what are they thinking

[@jamiehughes5573]

Triple necromage with bone wolf pet

[@Raging-Lion]

Imagining all the fancanons that will come from this absurd build is fun tbh

[@JJK10293]

Happy 10th anni Fugdemuppet, rounding the decade with another Necromage vid lol

[@TechnoL33T]

The biggest buff is really to how badass your character looks!

[@wavierdig]

I loved just ice spiking a corpse and it watching yeet itself to high hrothgar as a kid

[@jimmy5034]

Dreugh wax and stone flower pedals is all you need, get a falmer helmet and a circlet with your other armor there is no limit to your enchanting and alchemy.

Now, lets say, hypothetically, that somebody once told me that the world would proceed to roll me, and made the claim that I was not, the smartest tool in the shed. Which would lead us to look at the facts and see that she was looking kind of dumb, due to the fact that she had placed her finger and her thumb, in the shape of the letter L, located on her forehead. This would mean that the years would start coming, and logically wont stop coming, that I was, hypothetically, fed to the rules, which would proceed with me hitting the ground running. Which didn’t make sense, to live for fun, in a way that your brain gets smart, yet your head gets dumb, seeing as there’s so much to do, and so much to see, so now I must pose the question, what is wrong with taking the backseat? This is due to the fact that you’ll never know if you don’t go, nor you will shine if you don’t glow. For you see, you are, at this moment, an All-Star, so get your game on, and proceed to go play, indeed, you’re an All-Star, get the show on, which would entitled you to get paid. That would mean that all that glitters, is indeed gold, and that only shooting stars, can participate in the process of breaking the mold.

[@Kernwadi]

Yes.

@@ms.aelanwyr.ilaicos Let's say, hypothetically, yes.

[@NoMastersNoMistress]

Chugging potion buffs before you transform is of course a smart thing to do.

[@casualpmp6910]

What if you choose the perk necromage while wearing the helmet. Does it increase the effects of necromage even further

[@jmw1500]

1:35 Of course they did. Players and NPC's are coded differently. All of that had to be done manually.

[@DBswag_]

This build almost makes me regret not buying the AE upgrade.

[@oversipelio983]

anyone knows if the unarmed damage enchantments stack upon werewolf builds?

[@felipef1nn40]

what if create a wherewolf, duplicate the helmet and stack'em equiped with that glitch, and then get cured from being a wherewolf to become a vampire... would that let us stack the effect?

[@alexcrowder1673]

The helm effect is treated as a perk instead of an enchantment. So wearing duped helms will not work. unfortunately.

[@scrumt]

Nice I love vampires so this is a good video. Next time I go vampire I’ll get a mod to make necromage combo and go restoration focused in general to be truely immortal Dio style lol.

[@bwestacado9643]

Light armor Chitan might look good, but you can always just use the necromancer robes with mage armor boosted all the way. Use dragon armor shout and you're well protected while you fight

[@byronjbanks]

But if you do it right with no resto loop or necromage you can get to 64 percent for weapons. Fudge I think you missed a way to further optimize the enchant.

[@ryanfanshaw5171]

What if you put on the helmet and then get the necromage perk after would that make it even stronger?

[@edu5250]

another candidate would be the waiter from bloodchill manor quest, guy is a real pain in the ass on higher difficulties

[@fixitfeilix5051]

Someone needs to research if it's possible for necromage to affect necromage. If you weat the helmet and get the perk, will the perk be stronger? And then if you re-equip the helmet, will it increase? This might open the door to infinite necromage via making restoration legendary

[@Sickliff]

Bloodworm Helm and Necromage only affect perks if they apply a magic effect to the player. Necromage and the Bloodworm helm both use a different way to apply their effects, so they don't affect each other.

[@fixitfeilix5051]

@@Sickliff Thank you for the informative comment!

[@NBDYSPCL]

I finally didnt get distracted and did the main story quests as a beefy Nord Tank using heavy armor and the atronach stone to LAUGH at mages. Next i want to play an Altmer Necromancer. Definitely using Necromage, vampirism and Alteration perks to similarly laugh at damage.

[@alexcrowder1673]

You can be undead without being a vampire btw. its better IMO because you dont have the vampire weaknesses. Necromage and the bloodworm helm still work though since you are still flagged as undead.

[@xzavier640]

Waaaaait so how long will orc berserker rage last AND what is the multiplyer
