Battlemage?

loki504

i got my DK for tanking and Templar for healing. and Nightblade for Stealing. But i still don't have a Fun Build.
I realy like the Battlemage type.(S&B and DW/2H sword). But i'm not sure withs class to pick with it.

DK: got the flashy melee and somewhat range spells that goes along real good with a Battlemage(and i like the weapon/armor transformations)
Warden: Ice is also always good. But i feel like the ice skill line is more of buffer then really doing anyting melee. (but the green/blue glow for weapon is really nice)
Sorc: got alot of ranged spells and the transform stamina to magika and health is nice so i have a way to gain magika.
NB: Never really looked at it (maybe a dark Battlemage?)
Templar: Is more like a Paladin/Holy warrior But could still fit the bill with a nice mix of Ranged and melee spells

i'm not looking to clear uber hard group content. But to enjoy Exploring and gathering and Solo play basicly.

So what is your idee for a battlemage?

My interpretation of a battle mage is this type of playstyle

If you want to go by TES definitions:

1. Oblivion Battlemage
Able to resolve most conflicts with either spell or sword. They are a deadly mix of scholar and soldier.
Specialization: Magic
Attributes: Intelligence, Strength
Skills: Alchemy, Alteration, Blade, Blunt, Conjuration, Destruction, Mysticism

2. Morrowind Battlemage
Battlemages are wizard-warriors, trained in both lethal spellcasting and heavily armored combat. They sacrifice mobility and versatility for the ability to supplement melee and ranged attacks with elemental damage and summoned creatures.
Specialization: Magic
Attributes: Intelligence, Strength
Major Skills: Alteration, Alteration, Destruction, Conjuration, Axe, Heavy Armor
Minor Skills: Mysticism, Long Blade, Marksman, Enchant, Alchemy
Spells:
Shield (Shield 5pts for 30sec on self)
Water Walking (Water Walking for 60sec on self)
Bound Dagger (Bound Dagger for 60 sec on self)
Summon Ancestral Ghost (Summon Ancestral Ghost for 60sec on self)
Fire Bite (Fire Damage 15-30pts on touch)

Any ESO class fits the bill but the main ESO classes that come to mind are the DK and Sorc, particularly the stam Sorc (ironic since "Sorc" is a class by itself in TES lore), and NB.
