When you reach 200 in Magicka, then swap the balance to 40/40/20 or 50/30/20.įirst of all, I'll recommend that you only download mods from "," it's a trustworthy page with many options and services to manage and update your mods.

A battle mage in the right hands can destroy everything. It's really fun, but requires some serious planning to get the right balance of skills. It's important to be patient! At first, you will die a lot, but when you get used to the rhythm of being a mage, you will be unstoppable. Leveling: You will need all the magic for this build! I recommend leveling up Magicka/Health/Stamina in a 60/20/20 ratio.This will be challenging at first, but using those armor points for magic and spellcasting will pay off. Defense: In this build, you can use Light Armor with Alteration for defense, or you can go hard-core purist and not wear any armor at all.Of course, always have a staff on hand for backup and to inflict extra damage. This gives you the option to use dual-wielded magic or one-handed spells. Offense: Most of the pure mages use Destruction and Conjuration magic as offense and Restoration magic as a backup.They are best oriented as Wizards or Magi-assassins. Dunmer are hard to level up as mages, but with patience and perseverance, they can be real champions. Their mastery in Destruction Magic makes them really dangerous early in the game and can cause serious damage in the hand of a good player. Dunmerĭunmers, also known as Dark Elves, start with +10 in Destruction and +5 in Alchemy, Alteration, Illusion, Light Armor, and Sneak.

In my personal experience, they also make great Battle Mages, though this can be a hard task. You can choose to make a Breton a more durable class like a Paladin, Death Knight, Wizard or Magi-Assassin. The Bretons are good as pure Mages, but they are the most dangerous and powerful when played as one of the hybrid classes. They can also absorb magic attack thanks to the racial spell "Dragonskin," making Bretons more durable against magic users. This is a jack of all trades magic race, which makes them especially good for the hybrid Mage classes. Bretons get a +10 in Conjuration, +5 in Alteration, Restoration, Illusion, Alchemy, and Speech.
