  • Welcome Back ladies and gents to the worst skyrim build ever created! It is perfectly balanced because today we have done todd howard proud by playing skyrim the true way Bethesda intended! Say hello to the worst underpowered and overpowered character build the world has ever seen. Gone are the days of OP stealth archer Skyrim characters. Say hello to the new negative Armor rating heavy builds that can deal infinite damage upon taking damage but usually can only take 1 hit before they are defeated by a level 1 wolf. We have built perfectly balanced skyrim forks that 1 hit dragons and gods. Whilst building skyrim necromancy characters that can raise an army of the dead. But today we build a noodle that whilst having infinite health will still receive infinite damage. A Perfect Counter. So let us break skyrim together! And provided this video does well I think its time the spiffing brit takes on skyrim multiplayer!
    so it's time for me to flex my exploit skills and break the game with infinite armor. My power is unstoppable and I will defeat this impossible challenge with all of my skyrim illegal experience to discover if this game is broken or can you beat perfectly balanced gameplay!
    What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced game series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.

      EDIT: After watching the video that does seem to be the case, the fortify regeneration enchantment would allow you to heal back the increased damage taken by attacks to increase build viability (As long as it isn't instant death).

    With mods (apocalypse and others) the restoration tree becomes a super powerful killing school. With spells like blight which use your knowledge of disease to literally infect enemies with deadly diseases that debilitate them, and there's even a spell that literally just kills them. It's called slay and if I remember correctly, all it basically does is essentially kill the enemy as long as it's not too high level.
    Just imagine, using your knowledge of anatomy to literally end the pitiful existence of your enemies by touching them.

    • @ianp8825
      @ianp8825 Před rokem +8

      The best way to level Restoration is to use turn undead spells as they give more experience per cast. Once you are able to get Repel undead spell you can multiply the experience per cast by hitting multiple enemies at once with it. You can use the three skeletons in the Whiterun hall of the dead but the more targets you have that you can affect the bigger the multiplier so any dungeon filled with low level Draugr or skeletons will do.
      You can literally get from around 40 restoration to 70 in under ten minutes using this trick if enough affected targets are grouped together. Cost reduction speeds up the gains if you can get them of course. Also ironically the Poison Rune itself can level restoration much faster than healing as long as you hit multiple enemies with each rune.
      It is a bit harder to do but still better than healing yourself for hours. Basically any spell that hits multiple targets will raise the skill by as many hit for each cast making it more efficient even if it seems to be more magicka heavy to begin with due to initial cost.

      Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20
      Revelation has been unfolding since Jesus died. The Popes have claimed to be equal to God and set themselves in Jesus' place (antichrist(s)). Vatican City (Which is its own nation BTW) have risen up to fulfill the role of the false prophet
      Regarding the man of lawlessness or antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The restrainer that the Apostle Paul was referring to in 2 Thessalonians was the Western Roman Emperor, who held back the Popes from taking power. Once the last Western Roman Emperor was removed from power in 476 AD, the Pope was given civil and ecclesiastic authority over Rome; healing the deadly head wound of the beast in Revelation 13, as they took the Emperors title of Pontifex Maximus, leader of the church and state.
      “We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (Source: “Decretals of Gregory IX,” Book 1, chapter 3.)
      Pope Pius V blasphemed, “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Source: Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous Chapter XXVII: 218.)
      Pope Leo XIII declared, “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.” (Source: Pope Leo XIII Encyclical Letter, June 20, 1894)
      The antichrist sea beast of Revelation points to the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, who controlled the Roman beast for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD.
      Daniel 7:25 says “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” The Popes of Rome spoke against Elohim and proclaimed to be God. They reigned for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. during which they caused tens of millions of saints to be killed.
      The Pope’s title is Vicar of Christ, which in Latin is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’, and equates numerically to the number 666

    I think what you needed is to fine-tune the fortify smithing until you got a negative armour value that isn't quite *so* negative. Somewhere in the range of negative a thousand rather than negative billions. Then you get billions of health, and any time anyone attacks you it reflects a few thousand damage back to them. You also take a few thousand damage, which when compared to your billions of hitpoints, is nothing.
    You could also super-enchant a piece of armour with fortify restoration so your healing, poison rune, etc are always overpowered.

      He should have tried to maximise the integer overflow so he got as *high* as a negative number as possible. (Remember, high here means more positive, so the number would read smaller.) Then combine that with other heavy armour that is smithed to high enough values to leave him with somewhere in the region of -1000 defense. That would still reflect thousands of damage back to his enemies but he would take negligible amounts of damage compared to his health pool.

    One of my favorite things is that, per spell cast, the Poison Rune spell is actually among the most powerful spells in the game...with a technical base damage of 90. Bethesda really missed a trick by not adding more poison spells (and/or disease spells...disease is technically a type of damage in the game's code). Restoration as a viable, if expensive, offensive direction...if it had been in the base game, there could even have been perks to affect it. I've seen it done in multiple mods, and it ends up being one of my favorite ways to play the game...the arbiter of life and death. I absolutely love DoT spells in general in games...and also love to play characters that are all about affecting the balance between life and death, positive and negative, yin and yang. Having a character in Skyrim that heals their allies while using the same type of magic to damage their enemies is a lot of fun. And...it even makes sense too. While poison spells used to be in the Destruction school in Morrowind, I had no problem seeing them in Restoration...if you know how to heal someone, you know how to kill them.

    Reminds me of the 190% Reflect Damage build in Oblivion. You could literally get a ton of random stones from the top of the towers that close the random Oblivion gates by just spamming the grab command at the item in the world. Each gave a different enchantment effect depending on whether it was used on a weapon or piece of armor. One of those was Reflect Damage, and you could easily make a set of armor that had over 100% Reflect Damage, so when someone hit you, not only did you take _zero damage_ and make you effectively immortal, it _also_ did more damage to them than it would to you.
