@@N0T4K0P you're basically the top secret thalmor agent that was sent to weaken the empire further and then kill stormcloak leader once Skyrim is break free (that's how I imagine it)
You forgot about the sunfire spell. It's a restoration spell that heals the living but, as restoration is meant to do, harms the undead. That said, it counts as an attack and so will, despite doing 0 damage, agro enemies to initiate combat.
I like how he completely ignores the sun spells from Dawnguard that deal sun damage to undead. It's the only way of killing dragon priests with this build.
Yeah. I feel like the whole thing would have been a lot easier if he ditched the reflect armour idea after he got the poison and could actually take hits from things.
@@Person01234 I'm pretty sure in Skyrim you cannot actually take off the exploited health fortifying armor. For some reason- I think- whenever you use the busted enchantment exploit and give yourself an obscene amount of HP with it, whenever you take off that enchanted armor, you immediately lose all of that immense health and the game just kills you. So once it's on, it's stuck on forever.
Spiff missed the golden opportunity to simply sit there with the Ebony Mail, doing absolutely nothing but using restoration spells while the enemies simply died from overwhelming amounts of gothic presence.
Not sure if you've done a video of the Mage God build, all you need to do is become a vampire, get the Necromage perk from restoration tree, get the atronach standing stone power, and then get the atronach perk from the alteration tree (in that order) and you will have 100% spell absorption, from that moment on your are entirely invulnerable to all spells, dragon breath attacks, poisons, and diseases, as well as anything else that applies to your character as a magical effect.
@@GreedyOrange In real world vampire lore, vampires are easily killed by a stake through the heart, which formdoggie is humorously analogizing to a wood allergy, and also vampires can't enter a home without permission.
Actually, the Beacon can appear in any dungeon boss chest. Did a quest to investigate a cave (It was a quest from Solitude). After completing it and opening the chest, I somehow found Meridia's Beacon there. So I assume it can be found in any dungeon, aside from BFB. Or whenever you hit a certain level.
It can spawn in most boss chest as soon as you reach lvl 12. So it's quite easy to have it spawn in the first dungeon, if you like to level a bit before doing the main quest.
The perk is reflecting damage as it says, it's just when you have less armor the enemies attack would do more damage to you, meaning the reflected damage is higher. Anything you can do to increase the damage you take should increase the reflection damage
Low/Negative armor + fortify health +fortify regeneration for an optimized combo I guess (That's only assuming you can use negative armor that doesn't kill you instantly as soon as you take damage though.) 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).
I don't think it was intentional in such a way, I imagine that they just take the damage the player would take and apply that to the attacker, so the lower the players armor level, the more damage they would take, which then results in the fact that lower armor means more damage output. I would've probably programmed it the same way to be honest. Simply because I hadn't thought of the exploit until this video
@@ewanarends5512 And as Spiffing Brit demonstrates in this video you die instantly if you try that unless you waste hours of your actual life monotonously doing a loop of potions to enchanting to potions until you can enchant yourself a big enough buff to undo the damage. Like he said it himself he got to a 100 in heavy armour and 70 in a magic school. With 70 in archery, one handed melee and two handed melee you can oneshot most things and you won't die.
@@ewanarends5512 it's perk is really high, the max armor is ~580 (no reduction afterwards); maxing out heavy armor is pretty much guaranteed, once you have the perk (both heavy armor skill and perks increase the armor). By the time you get the perk, it's next to useless, esp. if you dont just power level armor but wear anything than iron/steel
it's probably programmed to deflect post-mitigation damage. as in with lower armor, you take more damage, hence more is reflected back to the attacker.
The funniest part for me was the fact he just didn’t take the sun spells, the books have destruction on them but they’re actually scaled off restoration
It's a restoration spell that heals the living but, as restoration is meant to do, harms the undead. That said, it counts as an attack and so will, despite doing 0 damage, agro enemies to initiate combat. And he said he was not going to start a fight/ agro.
I feel like everyone forgets that in the dawnguard DLC, you can get a restoration spell that does minor damage, with extra to vampires, as a novice spell from the merchants inside the castle
I assume not many people do it because 1) DLC so some people might not have it (I know it’s come out on so many things I could run it in my Nokia 😂) 2) Dawnguard is just… bleh? It’s not that great of a DLC imo 😅

Is it really an exploit if you have to destroy your actual soul to do it? Like I feel like the balance here is that Spiffing Brit's brain dribbled out of his ears to do the loop.
27:55 You can actually level destruction by being set on fire. Best way to do this is of course to step in and out of a forge rapidly which puts a lot of fire on you. Coincidentally this is also the best way to level restoration as you can heal while having full magicka regeneration.
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.
You could also make a fortify restoration potion so powerful it becomes a negative, so the healing hands spell now heals negative health, i.e. does damage, it would also make the poison rune the only spell that can heal you
Fun fact: I once did that Int overflow error on my stealth skill by accident. An empty shop called the guards on me when I messed with its ledger. It felt like a sting operation.
@@dancook6114 We both know Spiff would just wall glitch and steal the spells from his chest, you only need to get the first two, Gunnar and idr her name. after you get them all three chests appear.
Hearing a Brit call the 4th of July “Treason Day” warms my gat shaped, cheeseburger filled, American heart. Bless you sir, I’ll be thinking of you over a nice hot cup of coffee.
One of the weakest builds I've found is ice magic only, most bandits are resistant, undead are resistant, vampire nords are immune, and dwarf stuff is immune as well
Fun fact, using integer overload on fortify health makes you immortal. You're locked in negative health and can never hit 0 health, making all sources of damage do nothing. Downside is removing the equipment instantly set you to 0 health, killing you.
I found a way to remove that armor it also permanently locks your health in at whatever fortify health is what you do is this man create a fortify health potion drink that b**** then unequipped the armor the arm is going to try to take all of your health but because of the fortify health potion you're going to have some extra help keeping you alive then it's going to glitch out and stay at that f****** level forever so you want a natural million health make a potion with a million health f*** having enchantments I'll make it a reality
The final restoration build is one where your armor is only barely negative. Like perhaps -10k and then have 1000k life and enchant some stupid high health Regen. Any damage you take will be instantly healed and you still one shot. This effectively becomes the unkilling, unkillable, killer.
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.
Slay kills enemies below 20% HP, not that effective unless they're already in killmove range in which case it takes longer to swap to a spell and hit the enemy than just do a dagger killmove
With ordinator instead of vanilla skill tree false light resto build is probably the single most broken build in the game that lets you oneshot everything with targeted heal spells. Spells being op with mods is a recurring thing because vanilla magic tends to be a lot weaker than melee/range when playing "honestly" and not abusing crafting loops to scale damage infinitely

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
From the premise "can we beat Skyrim with only restoration magic", my immediate thought was 'it's going to be an integer overflow to heal for negative, isn't it?'
Wouldn't that just kill you though? If it heals for negative, wouldn't it take your own health away? Or did you mean with the healing hands spell? Jeesus, I walked myself through it.
Spiffing Brit, one glitch/exploit I never see talked about in Skyrim. If you have atronauch stone (or any other spell absorbtion) you can use the light from meridian’s quest dungeon for infinite mana. Just stand in front of one of the beams to take minor damage while refilling your mana. You can use a few different spells to max level their skill trees for a mage. Only hard part is having to find the beacon itself.
You missed out on a thing that would have made fighting Draugr much simpler: going to Fort Dawnguard and picking up the Sunfire spell that specifically damages undead.
@@thatoneguy-qc1bp You don't even need to be level 10; Going to Fort Dawnguard at any level will force-start the questline. Mind you though you might be underleveled and still have to, I think, play until you recruit Sorine Jurard.
14:29 She has steel boots of muffling. The rarest enchantment that can be found on a random piece of vendor gear. Ive had entire playthroughs and attacked and reloaded 100s of times and failed to get unenchantable muffle boots
I'm so used to Spiff's characters being such cursed and twisted monstrosities that Goth Becca looking relatively normal makes her insanely attractive by comparison
@@tiggerthemighty8279 Ah you misunderstand, as Reanu Keeves is *not* one of Spiff's characters. He is a being of such unspeakable age and power we would be fools to take credit for him
Brit, you and my bf are the main reasons I got into Skyrim. He introduced me while you show me so many fun things about the game I'm still very new to learning. Thank you for the awesome content. Update: We broke up. At least you're still here, Brit.
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.
The concept is interesting and I wanna agree but it's boring to have nothing threatening you. I'm sure spiff had also done more fort resto'd playthroughs off screen and I'm telling you that dealing billions of damage or having billions of health gets boring the 14th time you have the entire city of whiterun slashing at you.
@@Ultimate_Gamer_3000 His whole thing is breaking the game by making these brokenly overpowered builds. I'm just offering a way to make it even more broken. :)
Fun fact, the effective armor rating cap in Skyrim is 800. It gives an 80% damage mitigation which is pretty damn solid but its really easy to go over the cap even using non-exploit smithing in the late game. I thought I was Chad thundercock with tens of thousands of armor rating but its effectively the same as 800
@@nathen4171 actually its 667. each piece of armor (heavy and light including shields) adds a hidden 25 points of armor. so if you are wearing all four pieces with a shield you only need an armor rating of 542 to reach the cap or 567 without the shield. the damage reduction is simply (displayed_rating + hidden_rating) * 0.12 with a cap at 80%
You know, you didn't actually use the damage reflection for anything but the ash guardian... So you could have just stopped wearing the armor and been immortal while poisoning things
@@missingno8649 Unfortunately most Restoration spells do nothing to the Undead, other than the turn undead type spells which just makes them flee. However there IS "Bane of the Undead" a master level Restoration spell that sets undead under LV30 on fire and makes them flee. And two Dawnguard Restoration spells, "Sun fire", "Stendarr's Aura" and "Vampire's Bane" which are all damaging against Undead. But you'd have to do a lot of Dawnguard questing to unlock them.
@@maximumdon7637 sun spells from dawnguard are also restoration and they affect everything (despite saying it does damage to undead) and nothing can resist it so yeah restoration is broken with the right spell
"It's the 4th of July, which means it's treason day, baby!" - as an American, I do appreciate this accurate representation of our culture, on this, our holiest of days.

He us now the hero of the city I live in.
It's fun and all talking how messed up US is, but then you must remember that the alternative to it is a hell called Britain. Talking historically of course
@@GrandSnow469 Historically? I was born in London,and moved to the other side of the planet as soon as I could. England IS a festering, sespit of unspeakableness. would probably be better off living in the 13th century in England tbh.
best way to level up restoration is actually to use the turn undead spells, although it won't level up your armor it is extremely fast and you can get AOE or piercing turn undead spells to use on multiple undead to level up super fast like lv 50 to 51 in one 50 mana spell
Fun fact: dawnguard has a set of restoration spells that do damage to undead. This includes draugrs. Mind you they're not perfect but with a restoration potion like spiff's it might one shot them. Not sure.
@@thelocustgod9098 oh definitely. I just wanted to cover my own ass because my experience with them might have differed from the norm (My game is modded to hell and includes a vampire city attack mod)
Touch healing spells also hurt undead. Healing hand would have been a simple solution to the Draugr scourge lord. Edit: Thats always why they added Heal Undead spells with dawn guard
"We need our armor rating to become negative!" Wow, a Spif Skyrim video where he doesn't use the fortify-restoration loop?! "We're going to fortify-restoration loop so much it integer overflows to a negative value!" ....... I see. This game really is that simple, this exploit is like the duck-tape of Skyrim.
@@willford55543 the original was called duck tape because of the cotton duck cloth it was made of. Then soldiers started calling it that because of the way it was waterproof, so water shed off it like water off a duck's back. Then it found commercial use (ironically terrible at sealing duct material) and became known more as duct tape, except for duck brand duct tape. ... so both work, really.
@@nessesaryschoolthing yes i really hope tes 6 has still op enchant and custom spell building, but op within fun gameplay boundaries, kinda like turning cheats on GTA. It should make really fun stuff happen but not so much that it totally breaks the game, bethesda should plan ahead for these scenarios.
I don't know if it is considered an exploit or a tactic... Regardless, my favorite build in Oblivion is to have 100(+)% chameleon, essentially rendering you invisible at all times. After that, any method of combat is viable, but I typically would fire off conjuration and watch the battles. I've been playing Elder Scrolls for so long now, but have never made my stats nearly as high as you did in this video. Bravo!
I've got an idea. Using the "Skyrim Together" mod for multiplayer so that both characters can exist at the same time, can you create a character able to kill Reanu Keeves in combat? See if your exploiting experience now can overcome your past exploits.
Needed some tweaking for sure. I think he needed an overpowered piece of armour to negate some of the damage compared to his health. He was taking far more damage than necessary to kill anything
Against anything that isn't immune to poison, it would be better to just not wear it and focus on the poison rune while having millions of health thanks to the ring. Did come in clutch getting the dragonstone though so there is that
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.
Guardian circle ? It’s a master level spell that’s supposed to be available for purchase from the restoration school once you reach master level.. unfortunately, it’s one of the bugged spells where the vendor may never have any master level spells for sale. I don’t know if they ever fixed it.
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.
In the dawngaurd fort there is a damage based restoration spell called sunfire it only deals damage to the undead but with all the perks in restoation possible it is insanely deadly
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.
I just had the Atronach sign and a bunch of spell absorption items (Spelldrinker Amulet and the Sourcerer's Ring). The rest of the itemslots (during combat) were used for Shielding and enhancing my hand to hand.
Breton 50% Magic Resist. Get the Ring Of Mundane another 50% Magic Resist. Magic Proof. Then when I touched the sigil stone, id autosave before it entered inventory, if it wasnt +50 Magic. Reload until it was. Then Id have plus 50 on every piece of equipment aside from 1 ring. Then have 700-800 Magic. With no weaknesses, and could cast Massive spellls I made, while being 100%Magic Proof. Most fun I had without Mods My Fav was Forify Speed 100, fortify Athletics 100 and WaterWalk, with a Light effect because why not, for 60seconds. Or Forify Speed 50 and Waterwalk on Touch, and cast it on my horse. No more than 50 though, would clip through the terrain alot when I did, was too fast
"RESTORATION IS A PERFECTLY VALID SCHOOL OF MAGIC!" It's okay, Colette. I found out it was Ancano who left that letter on your desk. He's been dealt with.
i wonder if the incalculable % glitch could be used to turn restoration values into a negative, thus making it so you could kill other creatures with healing hands.
@@DustinBarlow8P You forget about the "healing hands" spell, brother, with it you can induce self harm in OTHERS AS WELL (i think idk i haven't tested it out)
If I remember correctly I wound up playing a one handed/heavy armor/block/restoration character my first playthrough of Skyrim? I'm not saying it was a good strategy exactly, but I think my logic at the time was that fast healing worked without stamina and blocking worked without magika.
Becca handles the potion because shes all too familiar with the "motion" rotflmao Now for a conspiracy Go watch black yoshi's videos & tell me whether him & spiffing brit are the same person
This whole time, I was wishing that healing spells were based on percentage of max health so that having perfectly balanced health in the billions was feasible to heal, but then I remembered that the health regen enchantment and potion works based on health percentage per second
This has been the funniest Spiff video I've seen so far. Crying laughing when Spiff said that he built in a factory weakness. Infinite damage, instant death.
24:45 is the most enthusiastic 'take that you big ol' pile of rocks'.. It sounds to me that it took Spiff quite a few saves to accomplish killing the beast.
Pro tip: If you hold down the mouse button on the slider in the wait menu, You can push "E" to confirm the number of hours to wait, then quickly slide the timer to 1 hour. This causes the game to wait 24 hours (or however many hours) in the time it takes to wait a single hour. Saves a bunch of time.
I am currently replaying the game again and I was like "hmm maybe finally the Stormclock side" so I went with Ralof but then when I finished the opening sequence yet again all the lore knowledge and memories started coming back. Getting to Riverwood with Ralof will be the furthest I go on the Stormclock side. Eww. The Empire has it's flaws (at the end, the real enemy is the Thalmor) but Stormcloack rebellion is just fucking stupid and pointless. Bunch of nationalistic hypocrites who yell "Skyrim belongs to the Nords!" while they weren't the natives either and commited a full blown genocide on Snow elves
Don't forget that poison rune is a restoration spell. And there's also spells specifically for killing the undead from restoration. It's a viable build, just much more boring.
The regenerate health enchantment would have worked well with the insane amount of health you had, so that getting hit wouldn't be much of an problem except maybe for the dragon

The fact that all the leveling took so long and then made Meridia's Beacon spawn in the chest for the first dungeon is just golden.
Actually, the Beacon can appear in any dungeon boss chest. Did a quest to investigate a cave (It was a quest from Solitude). After completing it and opening the chest, I somehow found Meridia's Beacon there. So I assume it can be found in any dungeon, aside from BFB. Or whenever you hit a certain level.
It can spawn in most boss chest as soon as you reach lvl 12.
So it's quite easy to have it spawn in the first dungeon, if you like to level a bit before doing the main quest.
I once found the beacon in the same chest that had the forgemaster’s fingers.
@@archcrusadervadim4467 I found it in a giants chest yesterday
Now that I have access to mods in Skyrim I'm easily level 40-50 before I even talk to Alvar or Balgruuf.
The perk is reflecting damage as it says, it's just when you have less armor the enemies attack would do more damage to you, meaning the reflected damage is higher. Anything you can do to increase the damage you take should increase the reflection damage
interesting, iirc negative armor was a thing, can it be applied on the player permanently?
I shouldnt have answered before watching the whole video xD
Low/Negative armor + fortify health +fortify regeneration for an optimized combo I guess
(That's only assuming you can use negative armor that doesn't kill you instantly as soon as you take damage though.)
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).
Ahhh, masochism
Classic skyrim, making a top-level perk basically useless because it operates on post-mitigated damage
Only Todd Howard would have the genius to create a game where the ultimate Heavy Armor skill works best with a low armor stat.
I don't think it was intentional in such a way, I imagine that they just take the damage the player would take and apply that to the attacker, so the lower the players armor level, the more damage they would take, which then results in the fact that lower armor means more damage output. I would've probably programmed it the same way to be honest. Simply because I hadn't thought of the exploit until this video
Nah he borrowed it from AD&D 2nd edition. THAC0.
@@ewanarends5512 And as Spiffing Brit demonstrates in this video you die instantly if you try that unless you waste hours of your actual life monotonously doing a loop of potions to enchanting to potions until you can enchant yourself a big enough buff to undo the damage.
Like he said it himself he got to a 100 in heavy armour and 70 in a magic school. With 70 in archery, one handed melee and two handed melee you can oneshot most things and you won't die.
@@ewanarends5512 it's perk is really high, the max armor is ~580 (no reduction afterwards); maxing out heavy armor is pretty much guaranteed, once you have the perk (both heavy armor skill and perks increase the armor). By the time you get the perk, it's next to useless, esp. if you dont just power level armor but wear anything than iron/steel
it's probably programmed to deflect post-mitigation damage. as in with lower armor, you take more damage, hence more is reflected back to the attacker.
The funniest part for me was the fact he just didn’t take the sun spells, the books have destruction on them but they’re actually scaled off restoration
It's a restoration spell that heals the living but, as restoration is meant to do, harms the undead. That said, it counts as an attack and so will, despite doing 0 damage, agro enemies to initiate combat. And he said he was not going to start a fight/ agro.
I feel like everyone forgets that in the dawnguard DLC, you can get a restoration spell that does minor damage, with extra to vampires, as a novice spell from the merchants inside the castle
Thanks for saving me the comment, already did that run and damn it was dumb. Was a tad disappointed having assumed that was the run he was going for

27:55 You can actually level destruction by being set on fire. Best way to do this is of course to step in and out of a forge rapidly which puts a lot of fire on you. Coincidentally this is also the best way to level restoration as you can heal while having full magicka regeneration.
Really?
@@Ssuperman Yep. Hopping on a forge will level your Destruction, I've done it myself. It's fixed by Unofficial patches.
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.
He could also level up destruction by trainer. 5 levels for level up.

Fun fact, using integer overload on fortify health makes you immortal. You're locked in negative health and can never hit 0 health, making all sources of damage do nothing. Downside is removing the equipment instantly set you to 0 health, killing you.
I thought that he was going to do that for maximun(minimum?) Balance™️
He already did this, didn't him? With Reanu Keeves iirc
What if you heal yourself? Couldn't you get killed by enough healing?
I found a way to remove that armor it also permanently locks your health in at whatever fortify health is what you do is this man create a fortify health potion drink that b**** then unequipped the armor the arm is going to try to take all of your health but because of the fortify health potion you're going to have some extra help keeping you alive then it's going to glitch out and stay at that f****** level forever so you want a natural million health make a potion with a million health f*** having enchantments I'll make it a reality
That's why you do something like if(currentHealth
The final restoration build is one where your armor is only barely negative. Like perhaps -10k and then have 1000k life and enchant some stupid high health Regen. Any damage you take will be instantly healed and you still one shot. This effectively becomes the unkilling, unkillable, killer.
The ultra instinct build
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.
Slay kills enemies below 20% HP, not that effective unless they're already in killmove range in which case it takes longer to swap to a spell and hit the enemy than just do a dagger killmove
With ordinator instead of vanilla skill tree false light resto build is probably the single most broken build in the game that lets you oneshot everything with targeted heal spells.
Spells being op with mods is a recurring thing because vanilla magic tends to be a lot weaker than melee/range when playing "honestly" and not abusing crafting loops to scale damage infinitely

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
From the premise "can we beat Skyrim with only restoration magic", my immediate thought was 'it's going to be an integer overflow to heal for negative, isn't it?'
I wonder if that’s possible
Wouldn't that just kill you though? If it heals for negative, wouldn't it take your own health away? Or did you mean with the healing hands spell? Jeesus, I walked myself through it.

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.
The concept is interesting and I wanna agree but it's boring to have nothing threatening you. I'm sure spiff had also done more fort resto'd playthroughs off screen and I'm telling you that dealing billions of damage or having billions of health gets boring the 14th time you have the entire city of whiterun slashing at you.

@@YShiishening To reflect damage he needed to wear all heavy armor
Against anything that isn't immune to poison, it would be better to just not wear it and focus on the poison rune while having millions of health thanks to the ring. Did come in clutch getting the dragonstone though so there is that
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.
that one might be on purpose as not much other reason to lvl restoration, for most players.
And this is why BULBASAUR NUMBER ONE, BEST STARTER, BEST PICK
Restoration could technically be able to "overheal" causing some super aggressive cancer, dealing disease damage and be valid form of offense :^)
@@shaderunner7.0 one "damage over time, heavy on the time" coming right up
@@samuelelliott8453 it won't be heavy on time if the restoration speeds the progress up thousands of times :^)
In the dawngaurd fort there is a damage based restoration spell called sunfire it only deals damage to the undead but with all the perks in restoation possible it is insanely deadly
It makes Restoration perfectly viable in every fight that isn't a dragon.

My dyslexia made me think your name was the spitting brit for years.
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.
I just had the Atronach sign and a bunch of spell absorption items (Spelldrinker Amulet and the Sourcerer's Ring). The rest of the itemslots (during combat) were used for Shielding and enhancing my hand to hand.
and now he made a video about it lol
@@bragiodinsen4604 Yep. I saw. He still didn't also get 100% Reflect Spell though, which is possible.
I kept failing Molag Bal's quest thanks to that. Took me ages to figure out what was going wrong.
Breton 50% Magic Resist.
Get the Ring Of Mundane another 50% Magic Resist.
Magic Proof.
Then when I touched the sigil stone, id autosave before it entered inventory, if it wasnt +50 Magic. Reload until it was.
Then Id have plus 50 on every piece of equipment aside from 1 ring.
Then have 700-800 Magic. With no weaknesses, and could cast Massive spellls I made, while being 100%Magic Proof.
Most fun I had without Mods
My Fav was Forify Speed 100, fortify Athletics 100 and WaterWalk, with a Light effect because why not, for 60seconds.
Or Forify Speed 50 and Waterwalk on Touch, and cast it on my horse. No more than 50 though, would clip through the terrain alot when I did, was too fast
"There aren't many good restoration spells"
"Restoration is a perfectly valid school of magic"
And don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
"We can't go to Bleak Falls Burrow..." I was genuinely expecting a jump cut to you getting NPCs to walk into traps over and over until they died.
"It's Treason Day Baby" 😂😂😂😂 I'd say that's one salty Brit but he seemed ecstatic to commit treason
"RESTORATION IS A PERFECTLY VALID SCHOOL OF MAGIC!"
It's okay, Colette. I found out it was Ancano who left that letter on your desk. He's been dealt with.
Had to pause the video because I was laughing too hard at “Treason Day”. Keep up the excellent content, Spiff
same here. im scrolling to read angy triggered comments but total dissappointment so far
i wonder if the incalculable % glitch could be used to turn restoration values into a negative, thus making it so you could kill other creatures with healing hands.
:o
But you can only heal yourself, so the magic school would change from Restoration to Suicidal. Imagine that skill tree?!
@@DustinBarlow8P there is a spell to heal others
@@DustinBarlow8P You forget about the "healing hands" spell, brother, with it you can induce self harm in OTHERS AS WELL (i think idk i haven't tested it out)
I need to see if that's possible but I can barely follow the steps in the video
A paladin build would be pretty damn cool -- giving you have the right mods to give actually useful restoration spells
or use dawnguard's sun magic
@@CertifiedElite420 Sun spells only affect undead
If I remember correctly I wound up playing a one handed/heavy armor/block/restoration character my first playthrough of Skyrim? I'm not saying it was a good strategy exactly, but I think my logic at the time was that fast healing worked without stamina and blocking worked without magika.
Slightly disappointed the Ring wasn't called Potion Seller
But then again, Becca *could* handle the potion. Very well, actually.
Becca handles the potion because shes all too familiar with the "motion" rotflmao
Now for a conspiracy Go watch black yoshi's videos & tell me whether him & spiffing brit are the same person
27:20
>Has hundreds of millions of health
>Hovers over magic at 190
>Adds 10 more health from level up
This whole time, I was wishing that healing spells were based on percentage of max health so that having perfectly balanced health in the billions was feasible to heal, but then I remembered that the health regen enchantment and potion works based on health percentage per second
This has been the funniest Spiff video I've seen so far. Crying laughing when Spiff said that he built in a factory weakness. Infinite damage, instant death.
31:35 the dragur that got shot from the trap and ragdolled the other one almost made me shit my pants from laughter
Just when the world needed him most, Spiffing Brit returned to Skyrim.
Watching spiff doing the alchemy and enchanting somehow made me think of Sauron making the ring lol
Seeing him do the fartclouds of murder reminds of Wario in Super Smash Bros Brawl.
27:20 from that point on the only right choice is stamina
24:45 is the most enthusiastic 'take that you big ol' pile of rocks'.. It sounds to me that it took Spiff quite a few saves to accomplish killing the beast.
I don’t even play Skyrim but who cares it seems like a good vid
Quite spiffy of you
Same ☕
"it's perfect! it's beautiful! .. it's broken.."

But i am, and my body is the punchline"

Rest In Peace Paul you were great.
I bet the npcs of skyrim have often wondered where the crazy man with the fork went to.
An orgy with drug dealing khajiits
Now for a conspiracy Go watch black yoshi's videos & tell me whether him & spiffing brit are the same person
Who knows, maybe one of them has met Big Head...
Goth Becca is truly one of a kind woman, we should all learn to cherish her until the end of all days
Pro tip: If you hold down the mouse button on the slider in the wait menu, You can push "E" to confirm the number of hours to wait, then quickly slide the timer to 1 hour. This causes the game to wait 24 hours (or however many hours) in the time it takes to wait a single hour. Saves a bunch of time.
Thanks bro
More like wastes time faster 😉😎
Would this work with controller as well? (I haven't played skyrim on console in ages so I don't rightly remember)
The song about your horse friendship was heartwarming.🤣
You're dedication to making this videos are absolutely insane. Extremely impressed and fun to watch. Thank you.
The true challenge of this video: living with yourself while siding with the stormcloaks
I always side with them though lol
The imperials are nothing more than puppets of the thalmor! I’d rather pick the racists! Wait……
If Im not a nord or elf I tend to side with the empire cus silly politic roleplay
I am currently replaying the game again and I was like "hmm maybe finally the Stormclock side" so I went with Ralof but then when I finished the opening sequence yet again all the lore knowledge and memories started coming back. Getting to Riverwood with Ralof will be the furthest I go on the Stormclock side. Eww. The Empire has it's flaws (at the end, the real enemy is the Thalmor) but Stormcloack rebellion is just fucking stupid and pointless. Bunch of nationalistic hypocrites who yell "Skyrim belongs to the Nords!" while they weren't the natives either and commited a full blown genocide on Snow elves
@@akwaMartyna and dividing the Empire is literally the Thalmor's whole MO in Skyrim, and btw Ulfric was a Thalmor agent from the Great War.
I always love seeing spiff play skyrim and breaking it in ridiculous ways🤣. Then i go back to waiting patiently for his next game breaking video.
You dont have to wait, check out more on Black Yoshi & tell me whether him & spiffing brit are the same person
@@rdesousa8955 he's definitely not the same person.
The fact that you left the "mortal weakness to any physical damage" armor on so there was some challenge to the build made the vid extra fun.
Step 1) Get a beefy companion and outfit accordingly
Step 2) Keep said companion alive while they do the murdering
Also get that spell that heals other people. So you can heal them. It's still restoration, just not yourself
@@robert.7230 i think it's called Healing Hands?
Don't forget that poison rune is a restoration spell. And there's also spells specifically for killing the undead from restoration. It's a viable build, just much more boring.
step 3, search for black yoshi on YT & llemme know whether him & spiffing brit are the same person
the fact that there are still skyrim videos blowing up on youtube shows how much of a classic this game is and always will be
The regenerate health enchantment would have worked well with the insane amount of health you had, so that getting hit wouldn't be much of an problem except maybe for the dragon
1st time watchimg your video now and I was laughing too much, so much that I want to try this and definetly subscribing now
