Unusual Class Builds

therover8511 · April 2014

I am looking for unusual class builds. They have to be viable classes. I have always been intrigued by odd class builds and pushing a class to it's limits.

My current main is a Melee Sorcerer I may even make him a Tank at 50.

Any Ideas for others?

I have been really eyeing the Fire Mage as my next class. My friend is going Caster Templar.

Interesting to see further posts in this thread.
As you are, I am currently playing melee/tank sorcerer at veteran rank I. Have been playing it from level 1 to this point and going to continue.

magi 20 : hp 9 : stam 20 (because of bashing)

I am using 5 pieces heavy and 2 lights. And ofcourse I am using sword and board (one-handed/shield).
My main loadout for abilities is Power Surge / Streak / Pierce Armor / Velocious Curse / Mages Fury and for ultimate I am using Flawless Dawnbreaker currently (because of 13% weapon damage and fast reloading time).
Imo the Velocious Curse is just amazing Single/Group target spamming ability.

Have been thinking to replace power surge with something like Daedric Tomb or Fire Rune but I need to test it first and learn to use those.

Why would anyone build anything other than a sorcerer/whatever?

Wow I have not put any in the Daedric Summoning class and totally overlooked Velocious Curse. I may have to pick that up.
For group dungeons I run:
Executioner/Stampede/Shattering Prison/Critical Surge/Thundering Presence and Power Overload for Ultimate
I then switch out Shattering Prison for Structure Entropy for single-target boss fights.
Man do I love weird builds.

My new mess around build is a Fire Fire Fire Stamina NB Dot+Skoria +stam DD using 7 Heavy. It does well enough in Vet dungeons from what I have seen to now and a lot of Craglorn doesn't really have a chance. Of course not a competitive Trial or VDSA build since it is not a good dps build. I made it to see how far can I go with a full heavy armor DPS. A thing that I am still against for most situations.

Dunmer
50Stam +12 life .180CP in the usual cost reduction, regen, phisical damage..

Skoria Heavy both reinforced.
5 way of fire. Probably would work better with something else but I just wanted Moar FIRE.
3Footman V14 jewels with cost reduction - I am poor.
2H axe fire enchant
2x2axe fire enchant

2H Bar Siphoning attacks . Anti cavalry caltrops, Brawler Wreaking blow rally.Soul Tether or Shooting star or Veil
DW Bar Blood Craze ,Twisting Path,Deadly cloak,Siphoning attacks,Steel Tornado,,Soul harvest.

Only thing I hate about it is that ZOS had to change the arcane fighter passives for reasons.

my build currently seems to be an "odd" choice. tho i had to alter it due to skill changes.
in sig btw.

I'm leveling a Bosmer sorcerer tank (intending to go werewolf for roleplay purposes; you know, the whole "Hound of Hircine" thing).

I ask questions about builds in-game, and people actually LAUGH at me for tanking on my sorc.

Oh well. I'm having fun and it's working pretty well.

P.S.: I'm still not sure on my final bar slot defensive, but would y'all go with Bound Armor, Conjured Ward, or Immovable? My tank bar is Restraining Prison, Dark Deal, Pierce Armor, and Shielded Assault.
