Skyrim - Best Battlemage Build

[@GeorgeCowsert]

Here's a protip. Use the Bound Weapons. It saves you on carry weight, constantly gives XP on your conjuration, and has all the power of Daedric weapons.

[@MrSuvvri]

you cant enchant or smith it

[@GeorgeCowsert]

Suvvri So? Having a Daedric weapon ON DEMAND early in the game is SO useful. Yes you can replace it in late game, but for early to mid, it'll carry you through. Not to mention, it's easier to sneak magic into a jail cell than a weapon.

[@kaijucifer3544]

George Cowsert Implying I'm the kind of guy to let himself go to jail outside of the markarth quest.

[@GeorgeCowsert]

シンゴジラ Even so, it's easier to do your time than pay the fee if you're low on cash. Plus, there are a good amount of moments where you'd have little access to your items, and have to resort to spells.

[@ruaricatani-brown9892]

George Cowsert it's a good choice for early to mid game but as a end game strategy it's not so good as you can't upgrade the bound weapons with smithing or enchantments so they only have the base damage of the daedric weapon.

[@Chrono_Mitsurugi]

For Battlemage I usually start with heavy armor and use a bound sword in my right hand, cast oakflesh, and keep frost magic in my left hand. Middle game I switch to casting stoneflesh, whichever cloak would be most helpful for the current situation, and keep fast healing in my left hand. Late game I swap to ebony flesh and a dragonbone sword with absorb health and magicka.

[@michaelp4418]

This may be unpopular, but i like to give my some levels to start if im roleplaying having prior experience with something. if im a mage from high rock i may give myself an additional 25 levels in a certain magic perk tree at the start. my level will of coure start a bit higher too, but at least i feel more immersed while still having stuff to unlock.

[@bearandthebull2372]

Battlemages and spellswords have had weird alterations throughout the years.Sometimes a battlemage is a no armor wearing badass with weapons,sometimes a spellsword is the exact same just with heavy armor. The main point is that if you want to be either,it's best to chose which iteration you want to use beforehand,as there properties are murky.

[@overtotter8639]

Tip: if you're going for a conjuration warrior, go for the Lord stone. This is because spell absorbtion can make you absorb your own conjuration spells. Overall just be a Breton, get the lord stone, two ranks of magic resistance, and agent of Mara. In total that will bring your magic resistance up to the cap of 85%.

[@Vigaberno]

Do also the "book of love"-quest which you start by speaking to the priest of Mara in Rifton. The reward is a passive effect called "Agent of Mara" that grands you an additional magic resistance of 15% !

i still find restoration valuable to this class. Being able to cast a greater ward against dragons or other enemies on legendary at higher level helps a lot. especially to block the drain vitality shout from legendary dragons.

[@kawaiiroaches9]

I just finished the weirdest skyrim build ever: the spellsword thief. I used the amulet of articulation, blackguards armor, windshear , and the ignite spell (after getting azidhals ring of arcana) and somehow it became my best build, I highly recommend it.edit; I also became an imperial, for some reason.

[@empathic_anarchist6423]

That is called a Nightblade, my friend.

[@beadyanglo8505]

This build is great if you understand Alchemy. With proper perk investment and Alchemy gear, you can brew Fortify Destruction potions with 180% spell potency. This is more damage than dual casting for less cost. You can also brew Weakness to Fire and Weakness to Magic poisons to increase this further if you want to. People that say Impact is mandatory for Destruction to be viable haven't done enough research into Alchemy.

[@kevinpissoff5272]

I have 1 suggestion for this... Instead of using Ebony armor, use the Ebony Mail for the aoe poison damage. To further augment the aoe damage, go destruction for the cloak spells. Anything close to you will die quickly.

[@kadimusbaratheon7352]

[@orionsarrow2119]

I did almost this exact same build years ago and stood there as the most powerful mage characters threw their spells but did literally nothing but fill up my Magicka.

[@derekniles3234]

Even though it was a general suggestion and not for the build itself, I liked when you suggested a mod. So maybe just mentioning one or two mods that you think could improve the build would be cool when you do an unmodded one. Console players can't use them and you have other actual modded builds so don't focus a lot of time to it but something along the lines of "we also linked some mods that would be useful for this build in the description if you're interested" would be really cool. I'm happy you guys are spicing up this builds, keep up the good work

[@TheHorribleCreature]

How to mage in Skyrim. 1 Forget destruction. Too weak. 2 Get paralysis. Forget the rest of alteration. 3 Get a healing spell. 4 Maybe learn to summon a flame atronach because it looks cool. 5 If you get illusion you will never drink anything else than milk. 6 Get a real weapon and fight like a real man.

[@dahow22]

I love this longer style Skyrim build video. It's awesome and I hope you keep it up. My only beef with this build is that you're not putting any points in stamina. I understand that you don't plan on using stamina for tons of melee, but as a heavy armor character, you're going to have hardly any carrying points left to carry any loot. And if you're not going to get perks in Heavy Armor then you can't get the perk where heavy armor weighs nothing. Then it's harder to get your enchanting raised when you can't carry back a good number of items from combat and enchant them to raise your skill. And late in game your spells are going to cost such minimal magic from all the enchantments that having all that magic won't matter much. Even in your video you were casting flesh spells for essentially no magic, and they're some of the most expensive spells in the game. So I think spreading out some skill points to stamina would just be a good idea.

[@yellowracer9741]

I think that a Battlemage should use the wall spells (wall of flames and the like) as opposed to the traditional projectile spells. That way you can make use of destruction and one-handed simultaneously. Otherwise you are just eating your meal with 2 forks.

[@marcelvideos7886]

Why not smithing? I think this build will hit super badass and be tankier with a legendary upgraded strong daedric sword or dragonbone sword + other gear. Like all enchants and everything stays the same but adding master destruction + master alteration as well as picking 1 wpn maybe sword and put 3 points there for more crit chance, heavy armor perks up to conditioning (for better speed) and full heavy armor smithing perks up to dragonbone smithing. The required level then would be 71 according to the skill calculator but 71 is still not max lvl 81 in the game.

[@Jackie_Shriek]

Actually, if you do invest more in poisons than potions, you can make poisons that paralyze your enemies, negating the need for paralyze spell. You can also make poison of weakness to poison, which makes targets weaker to poisons, than use a poison of weakness to magicka which will make your destruction spells do a shit ton more damage

[@magmakaj3092]

is it worth it tho? you can just kill them

[@timothygillis7768]

Magmakaj30 that's how I feel about poisons in the elder scrolls why take time making poisons when you can kill them faster without them

[@magmakaj3092]

Timothy Gillis let's say there is a boss, you can bind a strong poison to favorite and spam the fuck out of it while fighting, if your alchemy is high boss will die pretty quick

[@Jackie_Shriek]

Magmakaj30 it's not so much about waisting more time and skills with alchemy, but about not needing to waist time with alteration, or whatever paralyze and weakness spells. If you have good alchemy, the ebony warrior is 10x easier to kill just spam paralyze poisons and poisons that make them weaker to one handed damage and/or destruction, which makes alchemy and spellsword class work so well together

[@magmakaj3092]

console tlg was my bestfriend to get out of an endless respawn death loop when i tried a pure mage build with no armor. Oh the memories lol

[@greetingsmars]

Goddamnit I just made a battlemage and searched your channel for a good build and I found the prophet (which is okay) but if I waited a week I would have used this. NOOOOOO

[@appinterface]

I really have enjoyed playing this build so far, currently in dawnguard about to reach Auriel's bow. I found the best aesthetics with ebony armor chest piece and daedric gauntlets and boots with vokun

[@ToonTVDerek]

I feel like Nahkriin would work better for a battlemage no?

[@markmeszaros7306]

Derek Taylor i’m with you but he is a late game enemy if i know right

[@ven_jokerx]

I would love to see this get an updated version

Yo could say he has a rather large Standing Stone.

All FudgeMuppet builds are awesome but i really prefere the old style. We all saw thousands of "best builds". I enjoyed your unique builds much more. And also please do some more modded builds.

[@TheOliverthecat]

Can you please keep this longer more detailed build format but revert to your wacky builds, they really made your channel unique from all the other build channels

[@briangallagher30]

I found the build very helpful but when i switched alchemy with restoration it was much better.

[@15oClock]

Any Fudgemuppet build with One-Handed: Armsman 5/5, Fighting Stance, Savage Strike. I've been looking for fun builds for my next play-through and I found these popping up every time.

[@itzkam6996]

Fudgemuppet I'm your biggest fan I've been subscribed sense u guys have had like 800 subscribers keep up the good work

[@chrisfinch3445]

2024 still playing

[@rsh6987]

in love with this build already

[@Zrs-2]

I made a class I call dark battle summoner I use a deadric sword of thunderbolts and the sanguine rose

[@InfernalLeo777]

Aiden Phoenix Sounds like a Dremora Mage.

[@Zrs-2]

Triggeredkid 7-11 yea I also can use spell breaker and dawnstar 8D

[@DimondHD]

David Theres a quest where u can get a dwemer shield its some deadric shit but its called dawnstar. Atleast thats wat i think hes saying.

[@JKOOLDK]

The atronarch stone is frustrating when you try to use conjuration as it just absorbs your magicka instead of casting the spell

[@A.H.M.K]

yeah had the same problem on ps4 and fixed it with the unofficial patch mod. it was driving me crazy almost making this build unviable

[@kramps247]

This type of build works in Fallout 4 because it is new but skyrim is 4 years old.(p.s. u missed skyrim week last November) in skyrim we all know what to do to get the highest dps for all play styles, I watch you builds for new ways to this game. I like ved things like the toxicologist and banchee. now that most of these paths in vinilla have been done move to NEW modded builds. How original you guys can be is why I subscribed.

[@templarkiller2926]

I agree

[@JackO-9028]

Pleaassee do a really in-depth video on something like the Vampire Temptress, the Count, the Spectre or the Ghostblade. They're all great builds and I want something similar with more depth

[@insertfunnyhandlehere]

I'm working on a link from Zelda build right now and I'd love to see your take on this type of build as it is a little unconventional. from what I've gathered link is a light and heavy armor user and also a sword and shield/ archer. he uses a little bit of support magic, potions and enchanted weapons. he has access to powerful magic via items such as staffs but isn't himself magically inclined.

[@rudyclemente]

Amazing build! Very close close to what I had in mind. (Debating if I go with light armor instead of heavy). Thank you for sharing your videos and all the work done, love it!

[@alexsitaras6508]

what mods are you using?

[@alexsitaras6508]

***** the terrain pops and looks a lot better than vanilla, i havent been able to find one i like

[@selenagamya1612]

+Alex Sitaras I think they may also be using Frostfall

[@Medibro]

+Alex Sitaras They're using Skyrim Flora Overhaul 2.3 and Verdant. Both are fairly performance intensive.

[@mccarney4207]

My Battlemage so far: Race: Breton Stone: Atronach Stats: 50 Magicka, 50 Health 0 Stamina Offensive Skills: Conjuration, One-Handed, Destruction. Defensive Skills: Alteration, Heavy Armor Crafting: Enchanting I'm only Level 13 at the moment, so I'm not trying to shove in every skill right away. Right now I'm integrating Alteration and Destruction into my play style, and I'm occasionally using the Bound Bow for Dragons and really far away enemies. I will also be adding Alchemy later on, but for now I'm either buying potions or taking/stealing them from wherever I can find them. EDIT: Well, I'm also thinking of smithing instead of alchemy, so I think I'll go with that instead.

[@gpu213]

damn, I must be the only person who really doesn't like the new format...I come to these vids just for the backstory and general gameplay style. don't really need to know exactly what perks to take either - the skyrim calculator links were way more efficient. and were getting the vids half as often, but with twice the length so same amount of content, but half the variety. by far the worst part is that we won't be getting modded builds anymore, ( I would personally argue you should exclusively do modded builds) and the fact that your going to do these "best (insert cookie cutter) build" only limits the creativity and uniqueness further - I know that I (and many others) don't give a shit about being as powerful as possible and want something more interesting and abstract as thats what keeps the game fresh rather than replaying a build I've played a thousand times already. just my opinion.

[@tainegoldfish6911]

+Louis the Hutt I agree that's why I am using the bloodrider build because the back story and playstyle was good I want to make it up from there though.

[@templarkiller2926]

I like to roleplay so the perks I choose myself, I very much agree with this comment thread

[@gpu213]

+Fenryr 3001 well, glad to see I'm not alone in my opinion :)

[@francdidi7777]

+Fenryr 3001 i agree this new layout seems a bit mee... i have been subbed to fudgemup since 2nd new vegas build but they seem to be getting very repetitive
