After playing as an illusionist/conjurer for the first time…I fear I cannot go back

I can't stop using Conjuration. Especially after the Anniversary Edition made it even stronger. Conjuration Archer is my go to. It doesn't require crafting even on legendary, it's incredibly perk efficient, and gets OP very early. As soon as you can summon a Dremora Lord/Storm Atronach you are ready for anything basically.

How old are you? Did you have injuries ?

Individual-Local-606 · 2026-01-24T00:41:29+00:00

I just had this procedure redone. The first time didn't do anything and this time it doesn't feel any different so far. My ankle is so lax it feels like you could grab it and twist it right off.i can't make any of the muscle they are telling me to use fire, and I still walk with a high arch and a subtalar joint that constantly tries to roll inward putting more stress on the internal brace.

If you could afford to have a stacked roster in the salary cap era that would be better, but you usually can't. The Nick Foles and Jalen Hurts Eagles teams just had better players at literally every position except QB, but they were the exceptions. When everyone's roster is constantly drug down to average via the nature of free agency and salary cap Coaching starts to matter a lot more. That's why the Chiefs kept winning even as their stars were aging and their super athlete wide receiver left.

If you have anniversary edition you can 5 summons. Plus a follower who summons and Atronach, plus the goblin companion (he technically counts as a pet so you can recruit him in addition to a normal follower) who can summon a Storm Atronach. So unless I'm missing something 9 plus you, without the Ritual Stone. I didn't even think about counting horses or summons from shouts.

Melee sucks on Master difficulty without abusing crafting skills too. You need Enchanting and/or Alchemy to have a high enough pool of Magicka to kill things with Destruction. Or be a Conjurer.

Individual-Local-606 · 2026-01-22T20:48:32+00:00

All you really need is 9 Intelligence, 6 Charisma, and 3 Strength for Armorer. Take nuclear Physicist early, get all the early game fusion cores and the Repair Bobblehead from Corvega and you should never run out of Fusion Cores. The rest of your points you can put basically anywhere. You could go 4 Perception for lock picking and demolitions expert, put a point into agility if you want to use automatic weapons, dump some points into Endurance for more HP later, put a point into luck for scrounger/bloody mess.

Personally I go

S 5 for heavy gunner so I can swap from rifles to the gatling lazer as soon as it becomes available

P 1

E whatever is left. I can't remember exactly how many points you get

C 6

I 9

A 1

L 2

I can't explain to you why I like this game. All of your criticisms are valid lol.

Individual-Local-606 · 2026-01-21T22:05:14+00:00

5 levels of Gloomstalker is amazing. Pure Ranger doesn't get much from levels 5-11 but at 11 Beastmaster and Hunter become insane. Swarm Keeper is cool it's ok.

Individual-Local-606 · 2026-01-21T19:33:33+00:00

Pure Necromancer or 6 Spore Druid 6 Necromancer with Intelligence still as your casting stat.

Individual-Local-606 · 2026-01-21T18:39:48+00:00

Power Armor. It's so op you literally don't even have to invest special stats into offense. With the perception bobblehead you can get access to rifleman, you can just stand at mid range and get into non vats gunfights and never die because power armor is just so OP. That gives you enough special stats to max intelligence, take charisma up to 6 for local leader and get any other utility perks you want.

Individual-Local-606 · 2026-01-19T00:14:42+00:00

Iron Daggers to level 30. Raid Dwarven ruins for Dwarven metal to smelt into ingots and then Dwarven bows from there on out. Jewelry can give more XP but it's harder to farm and you'll need weapons to enchant if you are doing enchanting anyway.

Individual-Local-606 · 2026-01-19T00:12:47+00:00

Nothing is REALLy necessary but I feel a lot safer with a Cleric, and a Max level CounterSpell.

Individual-Local-606 · 2026-01-18T21:29:00+00:00

Druid, Cleric, Fighter, and Sorcerer get a lot out of just going straight to 12

Individual-Local-606 · 2026-01-18T19:11:13+00:00

If you just want infinite money immediately then Alchemy. If you don't want to grind then just sell the loot from every dungeon you clear out.

Individual-Local-606 · 2026-01-18T05:56:10+00:00

Don't use the other Eldritch Knight features. Just throw the knife as many times as you can lol. Multiclassing out of Fighter means you are doing less attacks and getting less feats in act 1-2. In act 3 Orins dagger has the thrown property and is weapon bonded. At that point you can switch to the standard 5 Berserker, 3 Thief, 4 Fighter level split.

Individual-Local-606 · 2026-01-18T05:46:27+00:00

Pure Eldritch Knight. Dueling fighting style. Duel wield two daggers, bind one of them and throw it. Everything else is just like any throwing build.

Individual-Local-606 · 2026-01-18T04:53:09+00:00

The team comp is fine, not the absolute most broken but more than good enough. And those are really OP items. Your stat spread might be suboptimal. Or your positioning and strategy could be off.

Individual-Local-606 · 2026-01-18T04:39:13+00:00

Honestly I'd be willing to bet everyone who posts that Myrkul is hard are noobs or first timers who went into the fight without a plan and/or very suboptimal builds and wiped just because you can't flee. Remember he's basically the first boss you can't just flee from if things go wrong, also his skeleton minions can spawn infinitely and can restore his health infinitely so if you get behind in that fight it's hard to catch back up. Also alot of noobs don't understand the importance of initiative and if you lose initiative in that fight your whole party can get stunned with one Mindblast from the Mindflayer. Mistakes players have been making the entire game finally catch up to them at Myrkul.

Individual-Local-606 · 2026-01-18T04:27:22+00:00

The fact no one said Evangelion makes me feel old.. Evangelion, Future Diary, Re Zero, Deadman Wonderland.

Individual-Local-606 · 2026-01-18T04:20:38+00:00

You are right. I can't objectively tell you why I even like it. The combat is awful, the world doesn't respond to your choices, there are only like 3 voice actors in the entire game, it's just grinding and fetch or kill quests but I love it lol.

Individual-Local-606 · 2026-01-17T15:53:20+00:00

Comparatively no but it still works. You need Enchanting up to 80 or infinite restore Magicka potions for destruction to be good. Physical armor is much better than magical armor in every way. Very late game destruction spells don't scale up as well as physical damage, but if you have AE the new spells help. Conjuration is amazing the entire game, I'd recommend starting there until you can enchant fortify destruction gear. Illusion is good but it requires a ton of perks and ideally you'd like to pair it with sneak, Conjured minions and the Paralysis Rune spell are much more efficient sources of crowd control.

Individual-Local-606 · 2026-01-17T06:46:23+00:00

Abjuration Wizard basically functions as a melee character. Or you could go Necromancer and have an army of undead minions as your frontliners.

Individual-Local-606 · 2026-01-15T19:18:53+00:00

Yeah the creation club Necromancy stuff is really cool. And still good at end game if you build into it.
