| Is better 'Heavy' armor really worth it? |
|
Alright, my main character is currently a lvl 44 Steel Sorcerer (Created Class) He's basically a real beefy warrior with some decent 50'sh Destruction/Restoration/Enchantement back up. I have a full suit of Dwarven armor and Ebony armor (partial suit of Deadric)sitting in my house (The Vivec Fighters Guild) but I insist on useing Steel.
Now, Ebony and Deadric give a real nice AR, but weight so damn much! I choose to wear a full suit of steel because I can still pick up a good ammount of loot, where as wearing the higher quality armor only allows me to carry so much (Even with 100STR!). Is the AR bonus really worth it? I find I can still take out pretty much anything wearing steel armor.
Thoughts? |

If steel works for you, then by all means, use it; the extra carry weight will come in handy. But personally - since I upgraded to Ebony, my foes have been having a tough time even nicking my Battlemage (sounds pretty similar to yours). I can't handle Daedric, though - my character ha 96 strength, and he still can't carry a full set. Who was that stuff made for?
And if carry weight is a problem, a combination of Recall/Mark/Almsivi or Divine Intervention can get you in and out of piles of loot in a jiffy.

Try enchanting some of your armour with Fortify Strength. You'll need to find a gem stone with either an Ascended Sleeper or a Golden Saint, and it will cost you about 40-60K depending on the capacity of the item you use.

I didn't want to carry any deadric on my toon, but you can get a nice "light" constant effect enchant which you can get to totally negate the weight of what you are wearing. I have also been picking up some phat special armor which weighs alot less and is way better. After doing pretty much all I could do with my assasin I just upgraded to all heavy armor and got up to like a 307 armor class. I don't think I can get any better than that. I still have lots of carry room...just hold on to your deadric stuff and keep looking for the good stuff.

I have a full daedric armor set & 2 rings + amulet + clothes all enchanted, and the following stats:
STR 183 (carry weight 915)
INT 189
SPD 112
And i could do even better, but my helm gives constant night-eye 
So if you got the cash, go enchant & carry all the stuff you like.

Fortify Strength is a good Idea, but where can one get the spells? I have plenty of Golden Saint Souls, but so far, I don't have ANY spell that helps boost stats. I have traveled to ALL of the mages guilds (Useing their travel services) and purchased EVERY spell they have, yet none of them boost my stats. |

Go to temples, they sell spells too. You need only something that fortifys some attribute, after that you can select what to fortify in enchanting screen by selecting the "fortify attribute" spell.
