I'm loving this build so far, I'd love more anniversary edition builds and some fallout 4 builds, also a tip, it's much more easy to level enchanting by crafting staves, myrnwatch has a staff enchanter
To be honest, regular mage robes don't fit all these "super-evil mage" vibes IMO. But overall a great build as usual
Your builds have redefined my approach to the game, love it!
@@kbroomall you know I have found this aswell, time was I used to make all builds SUPER OP, be it 100% destruction cost reduction or giving myself like 2000 armour and health and a weapon that does twice as much, but now I have found the merit in good role-playing and character, the satisfying progression in power and over all not being broken, so thanks skypothesis
Yâall should note that steel blue entoloma, glowing mushroom, and creep cluster make a fortify destruction, restore magicka, and fortify carry weight potion; which is broken for an alchemy destruction character. Also itâs all farmable with hearthfire and looks like an epic alchemistâs garden when you scatter them about your plots
thank you SO much for this. the restore magicka part makes this very powerful.
I call this the Ultimate Mage's Philter - Restore Magicka + Fortify Magicka Regeneration + Increase Magicka (Fire Salt + Red Mountain Flower + Jazbay Grapes)
They also sell for a Ton (around 2/3 of the Creep cluster+Mora tapinella+Scaly, which is supposed to be the best for Leveling) which means they also level up alchemy pretty fast.
If you're having trouble harvesting the Creep Cluster, Giant Lichen can be a substitute for it while still getting Fortify Destruction/Restore Magicka.
With the Stylite Storm and Sith Lord comparisons, Iâm just going to leave this hereâŠ
Shroud: join me, Stylite and together we can overthrow the dragons! The hist never told you what happened to your Egg Brother!
Stylite Storm: It told me enough! It told me you killed him!
Shroud: No! I AM your Egg Brother!
Stylite Storm: NOOOOO!!!
Hahaha I love this so much
Either they are related in some fashion or a dragon break is happening.
Ok that's good
âDark Brotherhood Shenanigansâ
Love that quote
Absolutely love this build!! I wish so much that I could watch you play a great series with him!! Do you ever play with the builds you create??!!
Thank you so much for watching these videos! We do playthrough but we've never recorded it. Maybe we'll have to livestream a character
@@Skypothesis I would love to watch you playing the game!!!
@@ShirleyCurryTheOlderGamer I agree!! â„ïž
The *sounds* i make when I see a new Skypothesis video on my feed is like a kid on Christmas. Just the thumbnail has me excited.
So true. I do like vampire builds and the title pic looks awesome. Haven't got time to watch it right now, so I'm saving this for later. Beer, sofa and a new Skypothesis build to watch, good times. đș
@@grl7753 nice
These builds are insane, yet oh so much fun. I can just imagine Harkon whispering under his breath, " Oh sh@t, what have I created."
Hahaha love that
Badass build and gameplay i love it! I appreciate the quality of the video.
Hey thanks for dropping by, man! Love your vids as well - you push the gameplay to its limit!
Wickedwind doing his creative gameplay vids with one of Skypothesis' creative character builds. Now that's something to see. (P.S. you guys watching each others' vids is pretty dope haha)
I feel like if Stylite and Shroud were to meet they would very quickly become rivals/nemeses
When I saw the pic of the blood bending lady from Avatar I was sold. Truly unique, great work as always.
Hama hype!!
@@Skypothesis don't forget zaheer from Korra....
I remember the Aetherial Pilgrim, but a cool idea would be a pilgrim who isn't a mage. He would be the oblivion class pilgrim who wanders Skyrim to visit the shrines in each hold, bears a mace and thieves guild armor and an amulet of any divine you want. The pilgrim would use alchemy, lockpicking, light armor, speech, one handed, sneak and a little bit of pickpocketing.
Ending 2021 with another Lizard Wizard! Eggscellent! A dark mirror to the Stylite Storm (which is how I discovered your channel), the Mordo to her Strange, the Master to her Who-I love it!
I haven't commented in a while, since there isn't really anything to say that I haven't already. Every Build you guys make ends up being one of the best builds I've ever seen, and somehow they keep getting better. So yeah, just keep up the amazing work and continue making awesome builds!
Thanks so much as always, man
Very unique build! I love the connection between the Hist and Daedra being made in the backstory! Very fun, I have a character thats similar to this build but she is a female Argonian and she's hideous!........ But anyway! Love the video!
Come on guys, I was just watching an 8 hour morrowind analysis video.
You two can't just drag me away from that... well maybe for a bit.
I feel like Eye of the Dragon is essentially part of the character's aesthetic, and juxtaposes well with the plain robes. Heck, it kind of juxtaposes with Skyrim in general, temporarily changing the visuals in epic fashion. And having said that, I think it's still distinct enough from the Oblivion Sentinel's Cataclysm.
I think the Shroud could alternatively use Windstad Manor as his garden residence (keeping the small version of the house). Laid to Rest could be an extension of his growing competitive nature, partly since there's no option to side with Movarth.
Yeah Eye of the Dragon helped a TON with getting footage that matched the vibe of the character. And great ideas!!
I think the witches cabin allso works but it lacks any armor stands or anything.
Such high quality and cool builds keep this going!
I've been waiting for this build for years. So glad you guys knocked this out of the park!
I love yâallâs videos and please keep making more argonion builds, they need more lore.
Well this is something. Amazing job guys.
I'm so happy I discovered this channel. Your doing the Nines work keeping this game alive. I can't wait to see more builds and characters! Keep it up!
I'm so happy your channel popped up on my feed! I've been going through watching all of your videos!
This is a build I never thought of trying out I love this channel keep up the good work gentlemen đ
This is one of the coolest builds on CZcams! Man I canât wait for more!
I think this is one of the coolest builds on this channel, i absolutely loved it. Keep working like this my guys
Every build gets better and better.
This is the first time I've seen a really useable equilibrium build and with the new spells it makes sense, also y'all are a lot better than fudge muppet because you actually use alchemy with your destruction mages
âïž
YES. I use fortify destruction potions when I know that I know that my usual drawn out battle won't go so well for me. As well as the fortify restoration potions when I'm running out of health potions
@@babygurleatsshickennuggits4201 honestly I'm pretty sure fortify restoration will also buff other potions . So it just super charges you in general
This is the most interesting build I have seen on CZcams. I will have to try this on my next play. Thank you for this.
The concept you've woven together around blood magic is simply astounding, and achieving all of that with just the official content is mind-blowing. Excellent job guys, for real. Also, merry Christmas! :D
I had a similar idea to this with one of my characters but the way u guys have done this is amazing. The role play is brilliant and the gameplay looks cool and unique, keep up the great work lads đ
Yet another amazing build as always. I love it.
This is the first video I've seen from your channel, and I have no idea how I didn't find you sooner! This way of showcasing builds is super awesome, and very well-delivered! :D
One of my most favorite evil vampire builds good to be back as the shroud of coldharbour thanks for the video
Outstanding build! thank you
This has to be one of my favorite skyrim builds, it's so cool and neat
Man I just watched this build again itâs epic just like I remembered lol love unique builds
Still the best build makers good to have you guys back making great builds I'm currently playing the witch hunter
I love your guys' content. It makes me want to play again and again.
I'm excited to start this build this weekend, the balancing of magicka and health looks like a blast. Always impressed by yall's content and commitment to the vibe
This was the first Skypothesis video I watched, and still my favorite. This Argonian needs a playthrough live stream.
This might be the best build I've ever seen in Skyrim. I absolutely love it!
Guess my Nord Dest/Alt mage just got a friend in the making.
I love this channel I watch a lot of build channels but I like this one best because of the back storys keep it up guys
The quality of these videos keeps getting better and better! Keep up the great work!
Thank you!!!
As someone who plays on ps4 where the game likes to crash with the simplest of graphical mods, im glad I stumbled onto this channel. I recently grabbed the anniversary edition and have been struggling to find a good playstyle. These build videos have been helping me to create my own character and a back story that I like, so I just wanted to say thank you for these. Can't wait to see what you come up with next!
Glad you found us!! We are also huge fans of the base game đ€đ
wicked!!â€
Of all the build guides I've seen from a variety of creators, this, hands down is by far the most unique and interesting one I've seen, so much so that as I write this, I am loading up Skyrim to play this build.
Very nice dude, nice work!!!
I love this build. The world needs more Argonian builds.
These are legitimately such a nice thing to wake up to
New to following you guys but love the game and love this build. I played a blood magic Argonian wizard a while back, guess I'm going to have to do it again with the new content. Really geeked out over this build, good job guys!
Thatâs sick!! Glad you enjoyed the vid:)
New build hyyyype! Keep up the great work guys! Argonians are my favourite race!
Argonians rise up!
omg this build is so fckn awesome... great job guys keep on
I love your videos and I think the builds you make are really cool
Thank you!!
This is one of the best, most in depth builds ive ever seen. Even rivaling some of fudgemuppets. Awesome content my guy.
Appreciate it!!
This is the first of one of your videos Iâve seen but Iâm definitely gonna have to watch a few more đ. Keep it up đ
Thinking of doing this with a touch of necromancy, thanks for the amazing build!
I definitely wrote off the leeching spells not thinking anything of them. Man was I wrong! This build is so strong and fun to play! It's hard to find a good medium with strong and fun but you guys always nail it! Awesome creation!
Would love to see a Druid build with the new bear summon! Keep up the good work guys love this shit.
Yes, the new bear summon is so cool!
Oh that would be cool, it could also work for the ghost of atmora
It's always a good day with (skypothesis) around
This is the second build of yours I've seen and I already like it, when ever I do a vampire starting out I like to wear ragged robes that Narfi and other beggars wear with ragged boots.
Absolutely making this my next build. Im happy i forgot i never finished watching this one. I typed in skyrim blood magic build and whoa..some of the ideas i had expaned to even further lengths. Im going to rewatch at least 3 times to fully capture the possibilities and roleplaying aspects. The fact that Touch of Death and Equilibrium work so well together...i may actually start using fortify destruction potions for the first time too. They are too overpowered for Unbounded Storms. But for edging out ToD over Equilibrium...perfect.
I revisit so many of these videos so often, and I always scroll through the comments and feel sad that I canât like videos and comments twice
Hey, everybody, come quick! Skypothesis posted another build!
The visuals in this video are my favorite of all time!
Thanks!! Had a lot of fun with this one :)
im so glad i found this channel
I love this build I always wanted a blood mage like character
Amazing video, series and concept! You gotta love some good role play within this incredible game. Been binge watching this series since I cannot play the game since the last update. I'm stuck at the frozen menu listening to the music =_____)
Ahh sorry to hear that!! Hope it gets worked out!
After playing alot of Skyrim every day for the past 2 months testing and experiencing Skyrim anew with your builds i can finally say this is my absolute favourite. I dont have to worry about managing resources or getting killed because I can just leech things.
And leveling the crafting skills doesnt feel rushed with this build! And no poisons!! Playing on Nintendo Switch and having to go into the menu and applying poisons midfight after every hit makes fighting feel weird and unnatural.
I love hoarding all kinds of power too and this build fits perfectly for that
You read my mind, I was thinking about creating an interesting vampire build today, this'll do đ
An incredible build, and a real great take on how to use and roleplay blood magic in skyrim! Also, imagine between this guy and the stylite storm. A battle for the ages, i say.
Would love to see that!!
@@Skypothesis thanks đ will definitely be trying this guy out on my next play through. I was also thinking of using some alteration flesh spells, roleplaying it as the shroud using magic to harden his own blood for extra defence.
The necromancer robes + alikir hood at 17:25 do be kinda drippin tho
Alchemy gear do be drippin'
Im trying your build right now. Started on Master and switched to Legendary the moment I got equilibrium. I can happily report that it is performing great! I got crap gear, nothing in enchanting yet and 40+ in alchemy, so lots of room to improve still! Focused on Sneak and Illusion first, and followed up with destruction. I went a little heavier into magicka. Very rewarding game play! Thank you!
Wow this is so sick.
Heâs done it again! Iâm Circonian by the way. Thanks for being original and making such unique builds.
This is just tremendous...you could write a book
Thank you!!
I love your builds and backstory stuff. I have recently come back with the AE release and have been having a blast but, as is normal for me, I am having a heck of a time narrowing down to one character build =\
Great video, btw, you guys might want to put 1 or 2 points in the fire perk on the destruction skill tree because I remember hearing that it also boost your elementary enchantments, if I remember correctly, it was in the Fudgemuppet video where they were making the most overpowered weapon in the game, a stalhrim weapon with a frost and chaos enchantment.
i love this build. after equilibrium, i like to think of the choke spells as hes challenging each person. "will you die before me?" and so the more you kill and level up the stronger he gets. great build. been playing it on my current playthrough for that past week.
Wow, I was searchin for a blood mage build, but I didn't wanna use any mods. Looks like I found what I needed!
You could use Bloodthorn instead of the Mace to keep with the themes and mechanics of the character(at least I think itâs Bloodthron that has soul capture)
Well... guess im starting a new character on my PS5! Thank you for this. New sub here, such great flow to your video.
I kept getting recommendations from your channel no matter how much I ignored it. Guess it was now time to subscribe, but I canât say I am disappointed. Awesome vids.
Glad you enjoyed!! Thanks for being here:)
@@Skypothesis Glad to be heređȘđŒ.
I'm loving the use of path of exile flask images for these custom potions.
Always love when the flasks get recognized. We looked for other transparencies of flasks/potions out there and path of exile has the best variety and highest quality art.
Another awesome video guys! This one makes me think of an evil Sky Light Storm! They even share a special move or 2!
Merry Christmas guys!
Merry Christmas!!
Such a badass build, builds from other creators i watch follow a set path and not that fun. I feel your builds are unique in their own way and im keen to try them all đđ
Wow! Now I'm interested. I always play as an Argoni - Warrior class vampire hunter and never cared to be vampire because it has never been interesting to me even after reading and learning every piece of lore I have found, nothing really fit that race. Finally I will be able to fully immerse myself into a really awesome vampire roll. Fantastic work.đ
This is a great build for Enairim :)
Amazing
Lil tip: you can get a free necromage in AE with the bonewolf quest or with the bloodworm helm
Best build ever
This is a pretty cool build! I forgot they has added these spells in
goated channel
Goated Samuel đđ€
That's probably the most interesting build I've ever seen. I might give this build a shot, but I'll probably choose a Dark Elf instead. :3
Awesome build!
Not my "type" of playstyle, but still love the video!
I love that during the Volkihar Siphon special move, one bandit falls off the bridge
This is quickly becoming one of my most favorite builds ever. I already love the Argonians, and hemomancy has always been one of my favorite types of magic in fantasy. I could tell right away the Shroud was right down my alley.
Outta curiosity, what's it with you guys and the gold ruby necklace? Reference to the Amulet of Kings or something?
If they're anything like me: the color gem matches the enchantment color. Ruby for Health/Destruction, Sapphire for Magicka/Conjuration, etc.
The red misty atmosphere of the video was suitably creepy for this character. As always, I love the lore, backstory, motivation, and aesthetic. Your choice of a water accessible player home is perfect for an Argonian character. Your perspective of the use of blood magic by a character with three types of blood is a unique approach. The special moves represent the essence of this character nicely. I like how you presented The Shroud of Coldharbour as a counterpoint to The Stylite Storm.
Thanks so much!! Glad you enjoyed it:)
It's a nice concept.... I think you can played with ghosts plus ritual of necromency
As a Skarlet main in Mortal Kombat 11 i can only agree with you when you said the concept of blood magic is fascinating ! The Shroud of Coldharbour is such a nice character with a very versatile and unique gameplay. So i started a playtrought with him, the only difference is i will use the shrouded robes, the blood spells of Sacrosanct instead of the CC spells and use the specials moves: Unwitting Champion, Blink and Banishement from The Desert Magician video. It seems fiting for me because they are two vampire wizard expert in their schools of magic and their are blinded jealousy and power.
Thanks for this awesome character as always and congratulations for your 8k subscribers !
I like to role play the glitchy launching that happens when using the new spells as him grabbing his opponents like a blood bender and launching them upwards
