What's your favourite Light Armor set, Wizards? 👇
not a set
but the Locket of Saint Jiub is pretty nice
Pleas make top 20 havy amor sets in skyrim
Glass armor is cool.
Nightingale makes me feel like a medieval batman, taking down criminals in the night, which is ironic if you think about its origin
Just watched the video and we both agree glass armor is the goat
Will wait patiently for Heavy Armor.
This is a wizard. He does not understand heavy armor
I’ll try and get it to y’all soon 👍
@@djm6683Enchanted daedric armor 😗
Nordic Carved is my favorite of the base game. Black and silver is a nice combo, and all the fur is much appreciated in Skyrim. I also liked the Blades Armor a lot. Honestly after a decade of new modded armors and overhauls I barely remember any of the others though!
@@butwhataboutdragons7768 the Blades armor is one of my most favorite as well. It was very unfortunate when it wasn't as good of an armor in oblivion but I hear you can reach the armor cap (567) with any armor in Skyrim and that's a good!
Honorable Mention: Leather Scout Armor. Very practical with multiple pockets, fingerless gauntlets, light weight, a water bottle and a cool color scheme!
Had to search the comments to see if anyone else mentioned this.. its my go to light armor in the first half of my playthrough. It just looks awesome! Its the same with the Silver armor for heavy!
It looks really great with spellbinding too
Just crafted this in River wood in a new play through
Protip: use the torturer's hood with the daedric mail for maximum swag. You're welcome.
Thank you fine sir
Isn't it the same model as the thieves guild hood?
Yeah, torturer's hood and thieves guild hood are the same model, theives guild hood just has an enchantment.
I don't care if you're a hardcore Imperial Loyalist, you can't argue about the Stormcloak Officer set being one of the coolest sets in Vanilla Skyrim.
Yeah but tullius's armor is great too
Stalhrim armor will always be my favorite light armor set, mostly because of the mix of furs and ice together in a perfect combination. What can I say, I like the cold aesthetic it's got going for it.
Absolutely same!
whenever I go to start a new heavy armor playthrough I remember the beauty of stalthrim and suddenly use light armor
I wish the Daedric Mail came with a head piece. Missed opportunity to include the Daedric Face Masks from Morrowind if you ask me. But CC content does leave a lot to be desired.
i think i saw somewhere that the helm that comes with it counts as light armor for perks
Prob giving the player space for a priest mask or some other type shii
Phenomenal as always! The Remnant Agent is the most colorful and beautiful and I’m happy they got where they were.
Thanks man! Glad you agree 🧙♂️
@@theWelshWizard So a question... How high would had new Thalmor armor made it?
Stahlrim over nightingale is wild
To each their own. I like it myself
Thats debatable but glass as #1 is inexcuasable.
@@themustachedfrenchman8696 Why? It's just an opinion
@@RosheenQuynhThere’s nothing wrong with agreeing or disagreeing with someone’s opinion. You don’t need to keep replying the same shit.
It is such a crime that the Ebony Mail is heavy armor lol
Your videos are always so well put together, thanks for the awesome content!
Blackguard armor you get from Glover's house is a chef's kiss.
amazing Video, cannot wait for the heavy armor version of this keep up the amazing work
There's something about that accent that just makes the puns so much better. Another great video.
The way you shoot and edit your videos is so goated dude I love it
This is my favorite series of all time. Anything Breton or Bosmer and I am in. Love your content.
This channel has hands down some of the best visuals and presentations in the entire CZcams Skyrim Community.
Although I've never played light armor-using builds that often, I can definitely say that my personal favorite armor was the Blackguard Armor from the Dragonborn DLC. For would-be thieves, it's practically vital because it offers the best enchantments that are geared for that playstyle, and it looks pretty good to boot. If I were to do a thief build right now, I know for sure that I'd roll with this armor, and I'd double down on it by pairing it with the Bow of Shadows; and although I'd love nothing more than to equip the Gray Cowl to make a Gray Fox character, I can't for the life of me get over its one major drawback, that being the instant hostility it triggers in guards.
Wonderful narration and attention to detail, as always! I recently found your channel and i've grown quite fond of your style. Keep it up!
My favorite has always been the Nightingale Armor, but there are a few sets from the Creation Club I haven't used yet, like the Amber Armor, but I do gotta say that Stahlrim Light Armor looks freaking amazing
Great video! Will try these sets out
Glass armor ftw! Yes!!! You have great taste my man!
I still think it's absolutely hilarious that all the "mail" armor either they do not have chain mail at all or at best it is never the main material of the armor
Can't wait to see the medium and heavy armor sets ranking that are upcoming! Keep up the good work, love your videos.
another great video to relax with while gaming
We need the followers and spouses tier-list!
Damn I'm early, good to see you back and regular 😊
Awesome - would love a heavy version too.
ive been searching far and wide for the best looking mod to make armour feel more realistic and yours is perfect, i love how it makes it feel much more layered and was wondering what your mod/mod load order for that was
Thank you for this video
Archmage Welch posted another Skyrim Ranked! Alert Jarl Balgruuf the Greater!
you might not read this comment but a suggestion: Tamriel Provinces Ranked?
very cool video regardless 👍
Just found this chanel this the second video I am watching and the editing and commentary is fcking amazing.iam am sure whoever finds your channel becomes your follower instantly. Glad I found your chanel and glad to join the journey 🎉
7:58 fun fact. if i recall in lore that's what most piece of armor was. A outer shell of Dwemer constructs use as a armor. A true dwemer armor supposed to be very rare.
Ancient Falmer and Nightingale are my top piece of armor. Elven also look preaty nice.
Amber armor was my go to in Oblivion.
Can I just say your voice is soothing just like the calming thum I was typing this in your voice 😂💣👌
the nightingale armor set has always been top 3 overall for me, i don’t really use it but man does it look good.
Cool video!
Could you create a video of cool armor combinations including cloth parts?
I am too lazy to do that myself, plus it would also be great to see what other people could come up with that I might have overlooked in the game.
Don't think so much about the Armor Rating as it's no problem to reach Armor Rating cap with a single part from all armor types in the game, even one piece of the Fur Armor, legit.
You're very poetic with your similes and you have good taste. Well done.
love the effort you put into your videos, is there anyway to fix the arcwind word wall glitch?
1. Great work as always. It may be an opinion piece but this video is amazing all the same
2. I think the nightingale armor is the best for me, just cause i think it is the most cohesive set in the game and brings out my inner edge lord
3. Heavy armor next plz. I think heavy armor has some of the best designs in any medieval style video game
I do agree with this list my personal favorites are crusader, nightingale and remnant
Just turned my awful day to amazing
The Amber armor made me think of a medieval Aquaman.
Love this guy
I have another question, most esteemed wizard! How do you get your game so bright and shiny?? It's incredible!
Seriously what where they thinking when they designed the saints and seducers armor.. 😭
It's "cheesecake" armor on females. My husband likes to put it on Lydia. 🙄🤣
Interesting the robes you use for your player character, do you plan on sharing your modlist for the UI and lightning?
my favourite armour is dwemer armor, I love gold, I love the dwemer, I love dwarves, so I would have to go with that
but I do agree there's so many beautiful and awesome looking light armor and the glass armour does look pretty good, it used to be a favorite doing some of my earliest playthroughs when I was younger that? or the elf armour
Great video, when are we going to see a heavy armor video?
Thanks! After part 3 of bosses ranked
@@theWelshWizard eagerly await your vids they're brilliant
I am really enjoying the forsworn set on a rp run.😊
Do thanks for showing me the Nightingale armor because now I can finally fulfill my stealth dreams
What graphical overhall are you using ? It makes evrrything look soo beautiful.
Analyzing every single Welsh Wizard video to find out which Harry Potter house he would be in. So far, I'm considering Gryffindor or Slytherin.
The Wizard of Saint's Row with those purple colors and fluer de lis
I always grab the diadem of the savant when i go light armor since while looking like a circlet it counts as light armor.
Loved that Assassin's Creed reference lol 😂
I've been watching your videos for a long while now, and I've been debating whether to ask or not- but do you have a full list of the mods you use for skyrim in your videos anywhere?
Sure, it’s in the description
@theWelshWizard oh thank you!
Man what modlist you use the game looks gorgeus
what mod pack/graphics mod are you using? it makes the armors look so gorgeous
Linked in the description
I was able to get few sets of dragon armor, ebony armor, daedric armor by the time i got glass armor. It's not just as random loot, i haven't seen any merchant sell it. i got glass gaunlets and boots with different enchantments. Is Glass armor has such low rate?
I like your videos, but was it really necessary to have 1/3 of the armour as CC gear? Personally, I'm an admirer of the Nightingale and Vampire sets, for sheer aesthetic.
I kinda wish there was a light or heavy dragon priest armor that you could find. The armor we see them wear looks badass to me.
Hey man could you publish your modlsit on nexus? becuase i rally like the look of it! love your videos keep up the good work
This is all subjective, after all, but I say that the style of glass armor seen Morrowind looks better than that of Skyrim. (Typical. It takes Dunmer to fix what Altmer leave unfinished.)
My personal favorites (from my rather vanilla experience) have always been dragonscale and scaled sets. Scaled gives a balance of ruggedness and comfort, as well as a nice Nordic motif, and the dragonscale armor... Well, yeah, look at it. 😆 For it, a dragon-slaying motif fitting of the Dragonborn, as well as more protection.
I’ve been using Nightingale armor forever. Everytime I try something else I go back. That’s why I’m here lol. I never go with heavy armor because with the right smithing, and light armor perks you can easily max it out. Then it’s just as good as heavy armor, without all of the drawbacks.
For me, the thing that stops me from wearing the elven armour is how chunky the gauntlets are. Hate that. Along with the thalmor themselves.
I adore Stalhrim armor though I'm personally not a fan of any of the helmets in the game except for Dragonplate. And so that's what I wear 😅 I'd kill for a mod that Stalhrimifies the helmet!
Justice for Dawnguard Armour! (not a fan of the helmet though, and I ususally don't run with shields)
My top 5 light armors
5-remnant agent armor
4-daedric mail
3-ancient shrouded armor
2-nightingale armor
1-guild master armor
Though it depends on the play style im using
Just dropping by to leave a positive comment , you are the best!
When your going to make us part 3 of skyrim bosses
That’s next up
Plz do one for Heavy armor now
yes
where is this building he was sitting? is it mod or creation club or is it actually purchasable?
Nice.
My favorites are the Studded Dragonscale and the Boiled Shadowed Netch Leather.
I love the studded because it's a bit more realistic, being essentially a studded leather armor layered with padding with some dragon bits on it for flare and extra protection. It really suits an archer, whereas I think the original seems better suited for a melee fighter. As a bonus, there's no gender disparity, which as a player of female characters, I appreciate.
And the Boiled Shadowed Netch Leather is perfect stealth armor. One of the few leather armors with PANTS! I swear, Skyrim has a vendetta against trousers on leather armor. As a great thief once said, "I understand there is a Dragon out there that would like to eat us all, BUT I HAVE. NO. TROUSERS!!!" And once more, no gender disparity, female Dragonborns get to enjoy the same quality design as the guys.
I'm a simple girl, give me a flattering silhouette that keeps all my bits safe, and you have a good design!
tbh I forgot glass armor existed. But how could you rate it higher than the nightingale armor?!
Should the bottle count decrease instead of increase to mark how much time left before this bit is over?
LETS GO NIGHTINGALES!!!
"Who would wear THAT."
Me: Uhh... Yeeaaaah... Hahhaa... *Hides my Bosmer behind a bush.* (When I am not running Bosmer Armor mod.) ...That said sometimes, with how many I tend to find and it's high level, tend to give some followers for fun.
...Daedric Mail though is my favorite for my Dunmer, making my own custom Dark Brotherhood Armor fit for the Listener, along Torment.
With the new Vale creation the crown is finally obtainable
can you please do a creation club ranking video too?
Nightingale set is gas list has good taste 🔥🔥🔥
Glass is the best imo but another great looking light armor is the scout leather armor looks great on female characters early on in the game.
Honestly I prefer the studded dragon scale over the original, it’s more conservative with the bone use and looks more flexible. It looks simpler, not overly designed, easier on the eyes in my opinion. Still don’t like the helmet on either tho.
Sadly I'm way too used to mod gear, especially Immersive Armors.
But there are some really neat ones in the vanilla game.
I try to vary my armor choices every time I play, but I inevitably end up wearing Fur armor every time.
Honestly its harder to look for armor set that doesn't look good than it is for one that looks good.
My favorite light armor fashion wise is chitin
I’m surprised the death brand armor was not on the list anywhere.
i personally love glass armor. but i liked the Morowind version of it better
A lot of the alternative armor sets are from Elder Scrolls: Blades, an Elder Scrolls mobile game. I know cause I’ve played it.
What kind of specs does your pc have to be able to run this mod list?
As long as you can run vanilla Skyrim and have enough space to download the modlist, you should be good to go.
I must say the blackguard armor is a much better thieves guild armor
Imho including creation club items are undesired by many.
yeah, and "including" sounds euphemism
out of twenty listed armors, EIGHT are CC ones 🤔..almost half...
completely unrelated but i just rrealised that you can skip unskippable ads with picture in picture idk if thats just me
I like the storm bear armor
what is the player home your useing welsh wizard
Question. What is the house mod?
Mirele Bismath Reborn
