Theres also the stormbear armor for another -20% cooldown. You can now exceed 100% without using the fortify restoration glitch or the wearing multiple amulets glitch.

Wow every playthrough I've always avoided being a vampire lol

Heavy armored Paladin becomes disgraced and corrupted, mage becomes tempted by all the magic potential, sneaky rogue uses new illusion and sneak bonuses. The least vampire-prone playstyle is the non-stealth archer, since heavy crossbows are too cool not to use.

​@@PrinceIsot Mods definitely help. Better Vampirew is hella fun, and there's tons of smaller ones that have their own legs to stand on, like Sanguinaire.

@@viderevero1338 I still need to get my fill of all the anniversary content before I do mods lol

Wait, you havent been using that excuse to hide inside of a cave and play skyrim all day n night?

You don't already like us all?

@@Exhithronous Sure, but an excuse would be nice.

ah yes truly

You just gave me a pretty good idea for a character 🤣

I've been doing a chaotic evil magic build for Anniversary Edition and you can bet I am now going to be looking for this helm

It's called the Bonelord from now on because it sounds cooler.

Vampires are cool and all but I'm thinking more of a modded necromage necromancer? If that would work, that is

There are two cloaks to be found in Skyrim with the Civil War Champions Creation. Club addon.

Vamps are zzz

It's honestly a great vamp sim, especially modded. How many other games are there out there that let you live a vampire life like that? A couple, for sure, but I'll take what I can get haha

@@anthonyeaves4145 i never play vampire anymore. Not since realizing i could be undead without being a vampire. This is doable on any system without mods or console commands. I can get all of the benefits of a vampire necromage without the weaknesses of a vampire by simply tricking the game into flagging me permanently as undead. The japanese youtuber MU has videos on how to do it. otherwise i explained it a few times on the other comments on this video. i mentioned a few other insane glitches too. some extreeeeemely powerful glitches that literally none of the populat skyrim youtubers have ever mentioned.

Telvanni wizard vampire was the most fun playthrough I ever had, installed a shit-ton of magic/vampire related mods to make it more immersive, including spell mods that would make me the most OP wizard ever.

I mean, that's why Neloth considered replacing his own heart with a heartstone, but never went through with it - negatives massively outweighed positives. It would be the same with other Telvanni and vampirism. While you are more powerful and technically immortal, you still have to take a risk that Molag Baller will trap your soul forever should you die. Power's a virtue, but so is the foresight to know how much you pay for this power in the future.

@@TheSynthPunk he also touches on this in regards to Herma Mora considering while he studies the black books he's not too keen on just flat out opening and reading them like the LDB

Stealth Archer stronger. :3

@@Hectictude "Oh look, my fuckoff huge howitzer can blow your cool sword out of the water" Jk, no offense, just that stealth archer is so broken that comparing it to any other class might seem like rubbing salt in the wound.

Its asking for an Argonian Creature from the Black Marsh vampire build

@@SweetJazzby13 that would be amazing! 😃

Ooooo….I agree. Imagine doing one with an Argonian…

This sounds funny asf 😂😂😂

Dead Thrall also Fortifies the Thrall's health regen. This said, I wonder if the Staff will make thralls that don't instantly die when you transform into Vampire Lord. Very odd bug, that. Nobody seems interested in fixing it.

@@bable6314 Ive encountered a bug where one of my thralls didnt die when transforming. Use dead thrall for your 1st 2 thralls but use the staff for number 3 (youll need the enchant that adds +1 to summons). For some reason, when doing this, thrall number 3 will persist even as a vampirelord or werewolf. Nowdays i never use vampirism though because i realized i could glitch the game i to permanently flagging me as undead instead, which is much better because i dont have the sunlight and fire weaknesses vampires get. Even in the base game you can be a literal lich. It just took people like 12 years to discover how. You can also survive being dead thralled by your own follower and use a black book to regain player controls! literally a lich! Its not related to the permanent undead flag glitch, but the 2 glitches still go VERY well together.

@@charlesdarwin6300 Just a tip, start a new game and go to maras eye pond. Now go in the hatch in the center and contract vampirism inside. Do not do ANYTHING until vampirism progresses fully. Now go across the pond to gallows hall and pickup the bloodworm helm. Now if you go cure yourself with falion while wearing the helm, youll be PERMANENTLY flagged as undead no matter how many times you cure vampirism. In fact theres no way to ever unflag yourself. This works for any system, no mods or console commands needed. From here you can get necromage etc and it all works without actually being a vampire! The reason this works is because new player not technically being flagged as alive or undead yet.You do not get flagged as living or dead until you see a spell, perk, or item that differentiates between life and death. These include but are not limited to dawnbreaker and anything with sun damage, the necromage perk, the bloodworm helm, detect life, detect dead, and the turn undead spells. If you are living when you 1st encounter these, youll forever be flagged as living UNLESS currently a vampire. however, if you are already a vampire when you 1st see them, youll be permanently flagged as undead! EVEN after vampirism is cured. ps: you have to cast the raise dead spells etc for a second time in order for them to give the passive healing effect. Itll also disappear after long loading screens. however, it can be cast on the player if you stand infront of a follower trying to use the staff of worms on a body. When applied to the player, you will have increased health regen. For whatever reason this effect is NOT removed from the player after long loading screens. it only gets removed from living followers and dead thralls on long loads. also, as for armor, warlord gathrik has nearly the armor cap in armor. Hes also the tallest humanoid in the game, standing 25% taller than all other deathlords. I woulsnt call him a glass cannon at all. Hes more like a tank! He does get stuck sometimes though (too tall). the only thing i dont lile about him ia that i cannot change his armor to whatever i want like i can with non undead type thralls. Apparently vampires and draugr are the only ones you cant glitch different armor onto. all the other humanoid thralls can be made into mind controll spider thralls and this lets you change their armor whenever you want. it also allows dead thralls to sneak and draw their weapons when the player does just like a typical follower would. just time using a mind control spider and pickpocking them at the same time. If it works they will equip anything you give them as long as its better than their own gear (or if you just removed their old gear that works too). I know this is getting long, but i highly reccomend getting miraak and gormlaith goldenhilt as dead thralls. i also highly reccomend getting the psijic robes. All of this and more is now possible thanks to new glitches discovered over just the past few years. you can also permanently buff destruction potions duration too. so magic is now as strong as you could ever desire. You can even permanently make cloaks do 1000's per second and have INFINITE range. Everything dies before it even loads in and youll get up 3 dragon souls randomly every time you fast travel, because itll be raining dragons.

laughs in Morrowind armor choices

Necromage makes sense to a degree. Self cast spells gaining benefits are logical, but it's ridiculous that it improves perks, enchantments, potions, et cetera

A lot of interesting exploits and quirks got removed by the patch. Like being unable to get both of Hircine's artifacts or taking Windcaller's Horn back to the crypt to get a free dragon soul.

Discovering and utilizing interactions between game mechanics is a part of any RPG and shartmoor needs to get over himself. Guy clearly never played morrowind or oblivion and it shows

Modders are amazing but mod overreach has ruined so many mods.

This needs to be tested. @FudgeMuppet Check out this question.

@FudgeMuppet

@thespiffingbrit

No, Bloodworm Helm and Necromage only affect perks if they apply a magic effect to the player. Necromage and the Bloodworm helm both use a different way to apply their effects, so they don't affect each other.

​@@Sickliff 🎉

Do you switch between seeker of sorcery and seeker of shadows using the ravenrock house ? Because those add even more to the alchemy enchanting loop

@@SnugNap That and also you need to use one of the azhidal rings with wyrm mask while making enchantments in order to get the full effects

Since it scales infinitely at what point do you just use the fortify restoration loop

@@SnugNap To be fair I straight up only use this on enchantments that have caps: Light/heavy armor Schools of magic cost reduction Resist enchantments Muffle/waterbreathing Because yeah its just fortify restoration loop but slower

Some time ago I stopped allowing myself to use enchanting or smithing it's easily possible to get the infinite scaling just with seeker of shadow and seeker of sorcery just slower without bloodworm helm and I just figured it's fortify restoration loop but slower so I make it so all my enchanted gear I have to buy from shop or get from quests. Hot tip you can one shot the ebony warrior with a true no crafting build long list of requirements but it's possible

hell using spells that summon skeletal minions and perhaps things like bone totems or skeletal hands and shit would also be extra cool kinda like the grave tyrant spells from eso

It's funny, because I'm not sure which person you're talking about for sure, haha. I can think of at least two, and there's probably more.

PERFECTLY BALANCED

AS ALL THINGS SHOULD BE

That's not how you call him. You have to brew a cup of Yorkshire tea.

@@phasepanther4423 YES A VERY BREWTIFUL CUP OF YORKSHIRE TEA GOLD

@@Civlover10 WHY WOULD YOU DRINK YORKSHIRE TEA COLD THAT MAKES NO SENSE

No because the helmet effect is treated a perk and not as an armor enchant. At most you get a total of a 56% bonus by stacking the helm with necromage. Keep in mind, you do not have to actually be a vampire to benefit from these. You can permanently flag yourself as undead instead of being a vampire in order to avoid the negative side effects of vampirism. This trick can only be done on brand new characters though.

@@alexcrowder1673 flag yourself as undead without vampire? I don’t use mods or edits like that. - I am a glitch purist.

​@@purpledevilr7463Yes. make a new game and go straight to maras eye pond as soon as you escape helgen. Climb in the hatch in the center of the pond and get vampirism from the weak vampire inside. Next wait until sanguinare vampiris fully progresses to vampirism. Now that you are undead, go into the gallows hall (its at maras eye pond also). do the quest and get the bloodworm helm and put it on. now go to falion and cure vampirism with the helm on. You are now permanently undead and absolutely nothing will ever remove your indead flag. you can even become a vampire again or a vampire lord, and cure it as many times as you like... youll still be flagged as undead. The reason this works is because certain items and spells lock a player into being flagged as living or dead. Brand new characters are technically neither until they encounter one of these special spells or items. The bloodworm helm happens to be one of these spells or items. So by going straight to the pond, we are ensuring the 1st one of these items or spells that we encounter happens while we are a vampire and hence undead. This causes the game to decide you are undead and apply the undead flag to you permanently. this is why it wont work on an existing character. there are a ton of spells and a few items that apply the flag of either living or dead. Its very hard to avoid all of them unless you become undead straight away and then intentionally flag yourself immediately afterwards with the bloodworm helm. You can get necromage at any point after becoming a vampire or getting the undead flag. do NOT take necromage before because its one of the spells i mentioned. it can lock you into undead if taken while undead, but it can also lock you into being living if taken to early. if you have any questions feel free to ask. there are a TON more glitches that i know that you wont find on youtube very easily. Many of the better glitches arent on youtube at all. Such as unlimited duration for fortify destruction potions!

​@@purpledevilr7463Its not a mod or anything of the sort. Its just a glitch. There are a ton that youll never see on mainstream youtubers channels. All the good glitches are on discords, or very very small and obscure youtube channels.

Yes

It just works.
