Do you have any unconventional builds?
For example I have a Khajiit templar healer and a Dunmer stamina nightblade
The rest are at least within the acceptable race list for their builds.
Anyway, how horrible these combinations are?
Since I never tried Khajiit nb or Argonian healer, I have no idea.
I am planning to take them both to pvp, but I worry about their viability.
I have some free race change tokens so it is no problem, I can easily convert them into Argonian and Khajiit but then I am not interested in playing Argonian or I will be following a guide many people do

__________________________Backstories:_________________________
Ras Kalik the Vestige, a renown Redguard warrior; He has been blessed to save Tamriel from Molag Bal’s destructive Planemeld while reuniting the Five Companions. His further accomplishments after defeating Molag Bal, has been to stop the destruction of Morrowind, the Clockwork City, return order to the isle of Summerset and create a new king in Wrothgar and a queen in Elsywer. These events have made him a living legend and continue to lead him into new adventures throughout Tamriel, as well as into the hearts of many ladies including the Elf Queen, Aryenn. Over many years of adventurous travels, Ras Kalik had become a loner, until he re-visited his homeland of Alik'r.
Alik'r and it's cities were overrun by the undead Ra-Netu and therefore he made an allegiance with Alik'r's own Ash'abah tribe. These Ash'abah with his help, cleansed the city of Sentinel in Alik'r desert and it's surrounding areas of the undead brought to life by the Withered Hand. After rescuing Sentinel from the undead zombies, King Fahara’jad’s personal bodyguard the Goliath of Hammerfell, who was given this name by Imperials in the region; was asked to assist the tribe after learning of the defeat of the Withered Hand to the Ash'abah. Kalik promised Goliath he would task him with fighting living enemies on the battlefield if he so desired. Goliath being a Yokudan warrior wields a massive sword in respect to the Ansei, a gift given by the Imperial, Cinan Tharn. Not many soldiers are able to wield double two handed weapons, but Goliath loves to get up and personal in a fight, so he also carries a giant maul, both weapons laced with magical flames.
Jux Blackheart is a master thief that masquerades as a Bard at the Sisters of the Sands inn, with his younger sidekick Lucky Hunch for pilfering and gambling during this time. Jux was known to infiltrate any towns bank vault he came across and even delved into Ayelid ruins without detection. Kalik can vividly recall the night he met the famed thief. Jux found himself rummaging thru a slightly inebriated Kalik’s pocket for too long, on a full-mooned night and because of his greed and the glimmer of his golden armor in the moonlight. He lost his left pinky fingertip as a lesson! But in return, he gained a new friend, as it was his first time since a child being caught red-handed...
Upon arrival back in the Alik'r after many moons of adventuring, Ras Kalik ventures to Bergama. Visiting The Winking Jackal, he runs into Jux Blackheart, who introduces him to the coin game Crowns vs Forebearers (Heads vs Tails) and Golden Dwemer (RBG).... Jux constantly takes gold from the unfortunate thru theft or gambling, his biggest gambling victim is actually his partner in crime known as Lucky Hunch the Gambler. Lucky doesn't mind losing any gold coins to Jux... as Jux saved him from Altmer slavers in Summerset, by stealing a key and sending him on a boat to the mainland years prior. Lucky spent years in slavery with Khajiits in Summerset and picked up the art of subterfuge, using illusion magic disguises and stealing there.
Kaotik Von’Daemon an outcast, and a half-caste between a Breton mother and a Redguard father. Kaotik become a pariah due to his conjuration of Daedra pets. He was taught healing magic during his childhood years by his Breton mother. His father due to Redguard customs exiled him from the desert, sending him by wagon caravan to be a soldier in the war in Cyrodiil. He happened to meet Kalik while traveling from Alik'r, during this long caravan ride the caravan he was in was ambushed in Bangkorai by a group of bandits. Kalik by chance was also traveling thru this area on his Auridon Warhorse (which was bestowed to him by his friend, Darien Gautier). During this ambush, Kalik was able to rescue five hostages from the bandits. Kaotik was the first rescued, and Ras Kalik also recruited him to be in the Ash'abah tribe. These core Ash'abah tribesmen may never be seen together in travel as they partake in their own adventures but they always know what each other is doing; as they frequent a hideout in northern Bankorai. Their hideout an old Orc castle ruin, is kept watch by Nuzhimeh and she passes messages written between them, and frequently they also enjoy her company and her bed.
The other men rescued were a Dunmer banker, an Imperial mercenary and two other soldiers, an Imperial and a Breton Knight, stating proudly he was an Akavir descendent. One of the Imperials, Cinan, claimed to be related to Abnur Tharn the Battlemage of the Imperial Elder Council (One of Ras Kalik's mentors in the Five Companions). Cinan Tharn was really Abnur's drunkard treasure hunting illegitimate son. He was caught smuggling artifacts out of the Ayleid ruins in Cyrodiil and the elder of the two Imperials was Tyrus Septim a retired Imperial navy battle-mage (now a Lycan mercenary living in the city of Rimmen) and guard to the Tharn family. As much as Abnur Tharn hated his half-sister Euraxia, he dislikes his bas†ard son Cinan more. Tyrus now a ruffian and privateer had been paid by Abnur Tharn to watch over Cinan as much as possible. Cinan Tharn a drunkard, loves to drink at least a quarter barrel of Nord mead before he raids various delves and dungeons for relics to sell on the black market. Cinan also plans to one day, run an illegal gambling ring... which he thinks will net him more gold for his wares.
The Dunmer captive shackled to the Imperials looked familiar to Kalik from his time in Morrowind.... and he recognized him as Tythis Andromo a House Telvanni slave-owner and banker from Vvardenfell. During a rough interrogation to Tythis, Ras Kalik learnt why the bandits accosted him. The racist Dunmer was providing slaves as soldiers for the Three Banner War. The bandits were trying to negotiate a lucrative ransom for Andromo and the Imperials.... Kalik did not need any of this gold and he could never set Tythis free as he did with the two Imperial soldiers. His past involvement with slavery and war crimes, made Kalik's blood boil. He chose not to execute Tythis, as he figured the worse punishment for this former rich and opulent slave owner, is to now be an imprisoned servant for Ras Kalik and the tribe.
Herzog Zwei the Genesis a reknown Imperial/Akavirri battle-mage. His roots going back to Akavir through his mother’s bloodline. (His mother is descended from the Akaviri, through Versidue-Shae, and his Imperial father met her in Hakoshae, while traveling) Herzog earned the nickname "the Genesis" from his father as a child, as he was his mother's first born child, and last, as she tragically died in child-birth.
Herzog was seeking to purchase an artifact from Cinan Tharn, before their capture and was meeting Tyrus while in Rimmen, who introduced him to Cinan. This artifact being the Ayelid artifact; the sword Sinweaver. After their rescue and the exchange of gold to Cinan for the sword he decided to slip away before Ras Kalik could question who he was, and why the Akavir descendant really wanted that sword. Herzog was headed to Nagastani — An Ayleid ruin in eastern Cyrodiil. He had read in scrolls that the Sword would give him magical powers to meet his mothers spirit, if he performed an Ayleid ritual at an old shrine hidden there. Equipped with the artifact sword, he was off to start his own adventure but Ras Kalik, did indeed notice the sword however and instead sent a letter to Jux Blackheart (whom also was interested in Ayleid treasures), to attempt to find Herzog and acquire the sword. (*Azani Blackheart in Elder Scroll's Oblivion is Jux's descendant some 747 years later)
And so the Redguard, Imperial and Akaviri men parted ways ... While Ras Kalik went off to Elsweyr to encounter the latest threat to Tamriel, with Abnur Tharn and Sai Sahan - - DRAGONS!! Little did Ras Kalik know a few people were awaiting him in Senchal besides Sai. A necromancer survived his attack on the Withered Hand, while in Alik'r. The necromancer known as Auriek Siet'ka is also following him to the land of the Khajiits and Cacique the Sage of Ius a Shaman mystic who has become attuned spiritually with Tu'whacca (a Redguard God) and Ius (the Animal God), after being burned severely by the escaped dragons in Elsywer, is awaiting his arrival also. Aurik is a soldier of the Daggerfall Covenant that was introduced to necromancy while in the military, even though this magicka art is not spoken of openly by most of the Military leaders. He came to Alik'r and worked with the Withered Hand before Ras Kalik intervened on their plans. After the defeat of the Withered Hand, he aligned with the Worm Cult, and is constantly adapting and perfecting his necromantic arts.
After his journey to Rimmen, Kalik heads south to Senchal, in the southern regions of Elyswer. This new adventure will also put him on a path to meet a strange Redguard man. The stranger which was infected with an untreated Peyrite disease and also was the exiled from the Order of the New Moon cult, due to his sickness. He originally joined the cult to worship Laatvulon, the green dragon, mistakenly thinking it was the Daedric prince Peyrite. This confused and suffering cultist is known as Tsar al-Bomba and he is on a path to spread the disease. He was originally infected in Orccrest while recruiting members there. Can Ras Kalik and the shaman Cacique cure this poor soul, only time will tell. Little does Tsar al-Bomba know, that his infection is tied to Vampirism, and eventually the desire for blood will take over his mind. Senchal also offers Kalik his latest love interest... Aeliah. Whom he fondly led thru battles with the Dragonguard.
After the trek thru the heat, tropical and desert climate of Northern and Southern Elyswer, Ras Kalik heads north to the cold mountain range of Skyrim. His companion friend Lyris beckons for him with a letter sent by crow...
Movárth Piquine - a former vampire hunter (now infected), within the Fighter's Guild (and a secretive necromancer) was in Skyrim working with the Morthaal Guard. On a patrol mission he was caught in Frewien's ice curse outside of Morthaal with the frozen undead. Movárth's vampiric infection kept him from becoming an undead minion to the curse. He was able to use necromantic ice-magic to encase himself safely until he was freed with Freiwen, when the Vestige Ras Kalik broke the curse.
Uri Ice-Heart - brother of Urfon Ice-Heart. The twin sons of Atli and Oljourn Ice-Heart. The Ice-Heart family are originally from Markarth but now reside on the Jerall Mountain range near Cyrodiil, with their younger sister Araki. The twins had joined the Winterborn Reachmen while living in Markarth. Urfon pushed west to Orsinium with the Winterborn Clan, leaving his family behind. Uri stayed behind with his parents and sister to live in the family cabin for safety, avoiding the Vampire plague infiltrating the Reach. After news reaches him and he hears of Urfon's death... Uri leaves and heads home and is seeking vengeance. Meanwhile, his sister has also moved on to Windhelm to join the Fighter's guild. He will visit his sister, once before going to seek vengeance and she will craft him armor mixed with ice, called Stalhrim armor. Uri fearing death, after his brother's passing, falls victim to the convincing talk of Movárth at a Nordic tavern, and will also becomes a vampire.

✭✭✭✭✭Just remember, if your going to cast off the Meta Shackles, then really think outside the box. Pick gear sets that play to your strengths and rotations that synergize with the class and race and gear. You may not have anything that is considered Meta, or you may just be slightly off the Meta Train.

✭✭I really don't have many characters that are bound to a specific role or a build. Most of mine play multiple roles on multiple builds.
Of those, the most unconventional is probably my nord warden who will occasionally run as a magicka warden. It does okay. I've beaten vMA with it. Ran most of the vet dungeons. It's definitely not optimal, but the DPS is enough. I've PvP'd with it. The ultimate generation and resists are nice, but in pvp, on that character, I prefer stam.
Dunmer makes a decent night blade. Depending on which site you're looking at, some will list them, they just aren't the top choice.0 -
BNOC✭✭✭✭✭Back at around 660Cp I ran trolly-but-serious double destro templar with fire & ice staffs - I'd place wall of elements (would go through walls and would ignore elevation) and dot them up normally, then use ice clench to root them in place over and over again. Move behind and sweep myself silly whilst keeping them rooted and bathing in all the dots and Grothdarr.
In a tower farm you could place it from the second level through the back wall and down the inner stairs, so tower farms were a joke, especially when the guys I played with started stacking them too.
Wall doesn't ignore elevation or go through walls anymore.
Ice clench doesn't root in place anymore.
There's much better gear sets now than I had then.
Any smart player runs snare immunity anyway.
The whole thing has been crippled, but it would have been an amazing build this patch with the stronger dots - It was actually really good back then, just a serious glass cannon - Maybe partly because people weren't used to dealing with it, the same way people still can't deal with snares or roots and just fall over and complain.
EDIT: It was actually sub 600CP because I found this clip of me when I had transferred to NA - about 170CP in training gear at the time, so on my EU main it was obviously much better.

LOTS of tank-dps hybrids that'll pull over 25k with 25k health and capped resistances, never miss a block, and debuff the enemy.

Ysbriel✭✭✭✭✭Race doesn’t make them unconventional, gear and skills used does, like a guild mate that insisted he could heal a vet trial using dual wield daggers and that certainly did not end well.1 -
Starlock✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Huh. To me the conventional way of playing an RPG is to focus on developing characters, not "builds." Therefore the convention is doing whatever makes sense for the character, not fussing about numbers or attempting to min-max anything. That's the "meta" I follow - the storyteller's meta of doing what is most effective in expressing your character's identity while also keeping them workable for the types of content you want to do in the game. Been doing things this way since I started. It works fine, but is a very different way of thinking about the game than many are accustomed to.
The most important thing is that you have fun playing the game your way. If you are really that concerned about being competitive in a PvP environment, well, you'll want to give yourself whatever advantage you can. But think about how YOU play the game and whether or not the advantage some people might get from race actually applies to you (because it may not). You are never going to win every engagement no matter what you do. If you're me, you pretty much just loose every engagement because you barely bother with PvP and instead focus on serving support role so the people who do actually bother with it can stay alive that much longer.0 -

FrancisCrawford✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭I innovated a build concept that was unconventional at the time, although Alcast eventually adopted it too -- bow/bow DK, the point of which is the DK cost reduction on poison skills, of which bow has plenty. That said, I prefer playing magicka, and indeed have never bothered getting that character Vigor -- and also not Caltrops when that was still a PvE thing -- so she hasn't been seriously tested. I think the hardest thing she's done is duo normal Blessed Crucible.
She's a Redguard, for even crazier sustain than that build might otherwise have, so the sustain nerfs haven't been a major problem yet.

I have plenty off meta builds. In fact, thats kinda my thing. I have 15 characters, this includes some meta builds, but the majority are build around themes, for fun.
As an example, I created an Elemental mage, an idea I had been quite passionate about for some time.
Warden High Elf.
Caluurion's Legacy - procs fire, ice, shock and disease aoe damage.
Icy Conjuror - procs single target frost damage.
Ilambris - procs flame and shock aoe damage.
I lay down blockade of flame for single/few targets and blockade of storms for multiple targets. I always lay down winters revenge aoe. I use force pulse as the spammable (fire/ice/shock damage). I use ice comet or thunderous rage as the ulti. And a sprinkling of other useful skills such as ice fortress and lotus blossom to buff me up.
He wears a combination of icy, flamey, shocky gear motifs, for a quite unique look.
Its way way off meta. But it still pulls between 25 - 30k dps (last time I checked, which was ages ago), so it works, and can absolutely be tweaked and improved, the gear is not trait optimised for instance. And most importantly, its incredibly fun to play, particularly the visuals of all those skills and procs.

brandonMFleeSoul ShrivenI cant play conventional builds. I started the game as bow/bow redguard nightblade. Transitioned to a vampire focused mag sorc. Wearing vampire lord and cloak sets. Surprisingly tanky. Then I tried out nightblade healing as an argonian. So many group heals on a nightblade class. And more recently. I've been using a double SNB imperial Templar. Using Knight Errants and 5 medium armor. My base weapon damage unbuffed is 3250. Super tanky. Well balanced dps in PVP. It's my favorite so far.1
