I'm only level 21 so far, but he is my favorite yet.ĭon't choose the light armor smithing tree perks. High Restoration, Heavy Armor, and One Handed. Now I am playing like my 3.5e cleric Sampson, who is a 'Play for Victory' character. A Darkelf Spell-Sword, an Orcish Warrior who spends his time with the Strongholds, and a High-Elf who was supposed to be a super hero like the Green Arrow. I have done 3 maxed out accounts using 'Play for Fun' role playing. For example, Wind Walker would be pretty much useless for a pure mage (except for sprinting), and Tower of Strength would be impractical for an archer. Tower of Strength is something you’ll have to decide for your own build. Reflect Blows is obviously better than Deft Movement, as it’s the same thing, except you damage your opponents.


Heavy armor has Tower of Strength (50% less stagger time in all heavy armor) and Reflect Blows (10% chance of reflecting melee attacks). The best perks in the Light Armor tree include Wind Walker (stamina regenerates 50% faster in all light armor) and Deft Movement (10% of avoiding all damage). If you want to strafe a lot, getting to Heavy Armor 70 can be very arduous. If you’re an endgame player, then the weight and speed difference between the armors is negligible, but if you’re concerned about being agile early on, you may prefer the light armor. Ebony Armor can be found starting at level 32, and enchanted pieces can be found at level 33, so there’s really no reason to not have a full set by the time it’s time to face the Ebony Warrior.Until you get the perk Conditioning (Heavy Armor 70), heavy armor will weigh far more and also slow you down. Fighting him as a fresh level 80 might prove deadly if you’re not prepared, but if you are, you’ll be rewarded with a full enchanted Ebony Armor set. However, if you’re not modding then you’ll encounter him in a major city when you hit level 80. Obviously, if you’re modding you’re going to immediately send him to Sovngarde. If you’re playing with mods and started out of Helgen with max stats and levels then you should go to one of the major cities to encounter the Ebony Warrior, who challenges you to a fight to the death. While Ebony Armor may not be as strong or cool-looking as the Daedric armor, it does share the ebony ingot ingredient.


If you’re looking for a cool-looking armor that is also classified as the third best heavy armor in the game, then look no further than the Ebony Armor set.
