I've played a orc boba fett character using the dawnguard and orc armor and crossbow and runes I also perked disintegration using thunder bolt to disintegrate. Darth Vader: No disintegrations lol
Good god, last week I made a build that was *ALMOST* identical as this one, bounty hunter too, same skills, same vibe, but instead of the full heavy chitin, he had the boots and gauntlets of ahzidal and the cultist mask, completely killer combo. You guys are crushing it man, this is some top tier skyrim content. Keep it up the good work.
Personally this has to be my favourite so far. Also because the character's backstory weaves into the main quest line like something wicked. Bloody brilliant mate. Keep it up.
Okay first of all! Bounty Hunter! Cool by default!Second! Drawing inspiration from the mandalorian? Even better! Third! I never considered using alchemy and elemental cloaks together! This might be your best build yet!
Amazing work. A suggestion for a build, If I may: A "quartermaster" whose main purpose is to fund his war faction through donating weapons/armor/potions or even food. I don't know an exact way to make such a build viable, but it's an idea no one's ever tried.
Yes!! We have so many ideas haha. We’ll be taking breaks in between seasons for production time though, the videos take quite a long time to produce even after we have a good idea haha
That was a neat build. I love the clever application of poisons especially as I generally never bother with the weakness to X. Also you might be the only build channel that doesn't heavily optimize which I appreciate.
A good build on Friday by Skypothesis is slowly becoming a thing that I look forward to. Love the inclusion of elemental cloaks, formidable special moves!
The Reaver having an Ashlander backstory is interesting because that’s not something typically seen. I like that his story is one of rebirth and a new beginning. Teldryn Sero as a companion seems an ideal fit for this character - Teldryn is my favorite vanilla follower. I loved the reference to the “strange Argonian wizard.” ;)
Great build as always. I personally think that making conjuration Staves instead of Scrolls is more economical, but I guess you would be burning through soul gems pretty quickly with them.
As always, wonderful stuff. I'd definitely go Light Armor with this guy, the heavy chitin helmet looks overly large, but I can see why you went that route. Awesome stuff, love the backstory too, and I'm a recent convert to dual-wielding, so that's cool too.
Totally understandable to use light armor! We mainly wanted him to look different than Teldryn, and then ended up loving the heavy variant. Using light armor would definitely free up quite a few perks!
@@Skypothesis On the subject of light armor, have you anything planned for a Glass Armor set? While I've never been a huge fan of it I can't deny that it has a fantasy look that pretty much no other set in the game shares. I've been searching around for a reason to use it at least once and nothing on the Vault or SkyForge has really grabbed me.
I have ALWAYS ended up going some kinda necromancer when given the chance in games some reason, it’s always been my favorite archetype. Skyrim was no different, i was kinda sad at the lack of variety...yay mods.
Awesome build! Only change I made was I used Orcish swords instead. Never been a fan of the forsworn blades as they wouldn’t work as a real weapon and I feel the orcish swords still give that rough look.
Awesome, again! I called it being a Dunmer last night, while I was thinking of tomorrow's build. The next two will be Imperial and Orc, since those are the only two you haven't done, and there just so happens to be two more builds left in this season. As for this build, I love the aesethic. The Swords and Armour go together so well. Full Armour sets are nice, although they lack some, uniqueness? I don't know. They're both great though, and the Chitin Heavy Armour is a very underrated set in my opinion.
You nailed it! That’s exactly right 😄 Agreed - it’s a fantastic set. I think uniqueness is definitely the reason we don’t use more “full armor sets”, but there are definitely perks for doing so!
I used the 3 elemental dragon priest masks with the 3 elemental special moves and role play it as artifacts he finds on his journey and uses to summon ancient magical power
So I did save hit load farming with Glover for enchanted pieces and my oh my was it worth! I got a Helemet with Magicka, Armor with Health and Boots with Samina. So those mixed with the Gaulder Amulet was +80 in all stats! Then the Gauntlets with One Handed you mentioned. If willing to put the time in to inventory grind it was sooo worth getting those bonuses to the stats! Really added the extra "umph" I was looking for in the build! Excellent work!
Making this build right now! Took a bit because i grind my one/two handed to 100 on Ralof 😅😅😅Have been farming through Glovers inventory as well for enchanted pieces. Got a helmet with alteration so that was cool! Looking for a chest piece with destruction or health. Haven't gotten to play it fully because grinding through skills so I don't know which I'll need more yet! You guys make the best builds!!
Hahahahaha first time ever being prayed to 😂 Haven’t played Dishonored but looked up Daud and he looks dope! We could definitely throw some elements from him into a build!
Love all your builds, guys. You are the absolute best at what you do, can’t use anyone else’s builds. I just dig how flawed and human many characters you create are. Having a blast with this guy. Made him huge, pox scarred and so ugly that he’s charming again. He’s sarcastic, emotional and hides it very well. Saves every damsel in distress he comes upon. Fan of Crimson Dirks books series because he kind of relates despite their lack of work ethics. One question: will he do the Golden Hills quest? It’s a bounty letter from Avenicci granting the farm and the land as a reward for disposing of ghosts. Idk if he’d be interested in owning land.
Also will definitely buy Hjerim. Racist locals will be overjoyed. Rolf will have to exhaust himself running back and forth from Grey Quarters and shouting obscenities all night long. Employing Once-Honored guy to work on a Dunmer owned farm would be a nice one too.
FANTASTIC AS ALWAYS! SORRY FOR THE LATE COMMENT. TRUCKER HERE AND IT'S BEEN ROUGH IN THE NORTHWEST. HEY AS A SUGGESTION, EVENTUALLY WHEN YALL DECIDE SKYRIM MIGHT NEED A BREAK CONSIDER DOING FALLOUT 4 BUILDS! 🤔😎
Into the Unknown by Vindsvept! Check out his channel, he’s incredible. We always put the song in the description as well if you want to see what songs are in our other videos
Sounds interesting. How long did it take to come together? I've done alchemy heavy builds before, it's how I usually make my money. (Along with enchanting and the merchant perk) But focusing on destruction and poison? Never tried that before. When did you go to Solsteim and acquire the armor? I'm hoping it's easier than joining the Dawnguard. I tried to build the Dawn Knight build and gave up when I learned I needed to do a bunch of DG quests to even get the armor. Is there anyway you could sequence the pieces of the build? Like do you start with skills or gear or what?
Brilliant content, may have missed something but your character seems taller than I would've thought for a Dunmer with no mods? But keep up the good work l, well done 👍
The poison of weakness to poison makes the poison of weakness to magic stronger, which results in a huge boost of damage from the elemental cloak spells. You can also swap out the poison of weakness to magic for either of the other two poisons made of rarer ingredients if you're facing tougher enemies, and they'll also receive a boost in strength from the poison of weakness to poison.
Would you recommend that the reaver body type be a slender body weight or a bulky body weight? And would you recommend a bow for him? I love you content keep them coming brothers
Complete the Mara quest in Riften to gain the Agent of Mara perk, grants you another 15% magika resistance. Take that 80% resistance up to 95% and laugh at mages/dragon breath. Roleplay it with this character as helping a fellow Dunmer, since the head priestess who gives you the quest is a dark elf.
A wonderful build I'm using this one myself. I wanted to know i know you love the heavy armor for him but.. if you could customize a vanilla armor set for him what would you use?
I’m sorry, guys, I don’t want to take away from the build, but it just strikes me funny and interrupts the video for me, so I have to correct you on this… It’s Scaly Pholiota.
oo interesting. Wonder how that would work with turtling up behind a shield for that extra tankyness. Slower yes.. personally I just hate dual wielding. *goes to try*
Hey ! Thank you guys for this amazing character. :) According to his story, would he rather want to end the civil war or deal with Alduin threat first ?
Thanks so much!! Great question - we’ll be sure to focus more on quest lines in future builds to help out with that. As for this guy, he’d probably do Civil War first for the mercenary coin :)
@@Skypothesis Thank you for your answer ! Of course, it would be my call in the end since I stay free to play the way I want but I really wanted your point of view. :) Usually, I don't do Civil war so it'll be the first time I don't need to climb the 7000 steps to High Hrothgar for... well, you know for what, no spoil. ^^ Again, thank you.
Awesome idea / archetype! Our first build, the Ghost of Atmora is a druid, spends a lot of time in nature, and uses the shout Animal Allegiance, so he might be a good fit for you! Wood Elves are probably your best bet for a quintessential "nature" build because of their racial ability, but Animal Allegiance / Command Animal functions the same!
They ain't even active with builds anymore hahaha. If you haven't seen Fevvy, you gotta check him out! He doesn't do "character builds", but his builds are incredible
I really like your videos and builds and unique way you apply DD ideas into the game. The only part that I struggle with is the part you leave out; All the trips to the menus to change spells, gear, apply poison etc.. It's the downfall of Skyrim mechanics. It takes you out of the role and turns the game into a gear/spell management game. The limited number of shortcuts and binds make it tiresome to play. Mods like Smart Cast and SkyUI with the gear management options can help. But a true vanilla game it a slog. Nevertheless, I really like the videos and they make me want to take another trip through the frozen north.

This sounds like such an awesome build

That’s awesome! Absolutely love azhidal’s armor set, and we’re also a big fan of the cultist mask. Great timing! And thanks for watching:)
This build with the Bloodworm Helm and vampirism would be untouchable. Due to the impact on elemental cloaks range.
Personally this has to be my favourite so far. Also because the character's backstory weaves into the main quest line like something wicked. Bloody brilliant mate. Keep it up.
Hey great to hear!! Thanks so much!
Okay first of all! Bounty Hunter! Cool by default!Second! Drawing inspiration from the mandalorian? Even better!
Third! I never considered using alchemy and elemental cloaks together! This might be your best build yet!
This is the way.
Glad you liked it!! It’s surprising how quick enemies melt when you combine weakness to poison, weakness to (element) and that cloak
Amazing work. A suggestion for a build, If I may: A "quartermaster" whose main purpose is to fund his war faction through donating weapons/armor/potions or even food. I don't know an exact way to make such a build viable, but it's an idea no one's ever tried.
We have a quartermaster planned for a special build series in the future!! Hope you like how we try to pull it off!
@@Skypothesis Best builds channel on yt by far! Looking forward to it.
Glad to here there are more season(s) coming
Yes!! We have so many ideas haha. We’ll be taking breaks in between seasons for production time though, the videos take quite a long time to produce even after we have a good idea haha
That was a neat build. I love the clever application of poisons especially as I generally never bother with the weakness to X. Also you might be the only build channel that doesn't heavily optimize which I appreciate.
Glad you liked it! We usually don’t use them too but combined with elemental cloaks they really made a difference
Love your builds again perfect backstory and music go on
Thanks so much! Much more to come:)
A good build on Friday by Skypothesis is slowly becoming a thing that I look forward to. Love the inclusion of elemental cloaks, formidable special moves!
Glad it’s become something to look forward to!! Two more this season, then we’ll be taking a break for production:)
The transition from 5:49 to 5:51 was so smooth imo
Seriously you guys are doing an amazing job! This build has gotten be back into Skyrim again!
So good to hear!! Thanks 😊
This backstory actually is compelling and factors in more elements of the story than just what happens before the cart ride. Very well done
The Reaver having an Ashlander backstory is interesting because that’s not something typically seen. I like that his story is one of rebirth and a new beginning. Teldryn Sero as a companion seems an ideal fit for this character - Teldryn is my favorite vanilla follower. I loved the reference to the “strange Argonian wizard.” ;)
Awesome build as usual! I was thinking of playing the desert wind exile, but now I want to play this too!! So many choices!
Thanks so much! Ah the cloak spell users! Hope you have fun with whatever one you pick!
I have decided on the reaver! I know it took me long enough lol.
Vegetable soup turns this build into an even bigger powerhouse. Infinite dual power attacks turn you into a flurry of blades and magic.
Awesome thank you guys so much for this build
We thought you’d like this one! Closest we could get to a Mandalorian:)
The attention detail here is very impressive. Can't wait to binge my way through season 2
Thanks friend
12:28 I have a suggestion for a special move, ghost of flames become ethereal+fire storm
Fantastic idea! Such an effective way to get that spell out
Great build as always. I personally think that making conjuration Staves instead of Scrolls is more economical, but I guess you would be burning through soul gems pretty quickly with them.
Good call! Staff crafting is something very rarely used and needs more love. Would be awesome at higher levels, agreed
@@Skypothesis I actually meant creating staves in atronach forge, you dont need to use the staff enchanter.
@@pablito8497 Oh sick! That's an even better idea!!
As always, wonderful stuff. I'd definitely go Light Armor with this guy, the heavy chitin helmet looks overly large, but I can see why you went that route. Awesome stuff, love the backstory too, and I'm a recent convert to dual-wielding, so that's cool too.

I'm not one for dark elf's but this is really one I'm down for try. Love very build
Thanks man, appreciate it!
Good stuff as always
Thanks so much!!
Wow, you two are really getting the builds out. Quality builds too. Well done!
Note: it is pronounced Fo-Lee-Oh-Tuh (Pholiota)
Ah, thanks!! Those alchemical ingredients will be the death of us pronunciation-wise haha 😆
@@Skypothesis haha yeah, some of them are tricky. lol. I did steal a potion recipe from another video. good stuff. Thanks!
Are you thinking about doing a necromancer character at some point? Can't wait to try this build out!!
We have one planned!! Not this season, but still coming soon:)
@@Skypothesis rumor has it season 3 is gonna have one 🤔🤔

Incredible, as always! Was waiting all week for this. Is your posting schedule fridays?
Thanks so much! Yes! During a season we’ll post every Friday, but we’ll take about a month off in between seasons for production:)

Brilliant content, may have missed something but your character seems taller than I would've thought for a Dunmer with no mods? But keep up the good work l, well done 👍
Thanks! Nah he's just a normal Dunmer, might be the chitin helmet point making him look a bit taller!
Fantastic. About how long does it take you guys to make these builds?
Thank you!!! From idea to video completion probably about 20 hours total
Quick question...why do you apply weakness to poison? Do you use poisoning sword? It is not mentioned in the video. Thanks
The poison of weakness to poison makes the poison of weakness to magic stronger, which results in a huge boost of damage from the elemental cloak spells.
You can also swap out the poison of weakness to magic for either of the other two poisons made of rarer ingredients if you're facing tougher enemies, and they'll also receive a boost in strength from the poison of weakness to poison.

two forsworn swords.
I really like your videos and builds and unique way you apply DD ideas into the game. The only part that I struggle with is the part you leave out; All the trips to the menus to change spells, gear, apply poison etc.. It's the downfall of Skyrim mechanics. It takes you out of the role and turns the game into a gear/spell management game. The limited number of shortcuts and binds make it tiresome to play. Mods like Smart Cast and SkyUI with the gear management options can help. But a true vanilla game it a slog.
Nevertheless, I really like the videos and they make me want to take another trip through the frozen north.
