The worst combination of race and stars.

Post by Flairinsich »

What is the worst combination of races and their star sign can you make?

I think of a High Elf with the sign of Lord.

They would have the worst defense with magic ever!!
If somethign doesn't look right look at it again.

High Elf with Atronach. You don't need all that magicka, seriously, you'd just be hogging it, let the Nords have some :D
And on more game related terms, you normally dodge spells, to avoid MASSIVE DAMAGE, as you are a high elf with little magic defence, but you have to run headfirst into the spells to get your magicka back... :?

Hard to say. There really is no super bad combination. However, Breton with Apprentice is worthless in comparison to the Atronach. But, I mean there are still reasons to pick Apprentice.

Nord with Mage Apprentice.

Magicka they won't need along with a weakness to it. (Worse off than Orcs, at least they get resistance)

Pretty much all of the signs that all just provide a lesser or greater powers are worthless. If you really think about it, you can control your leveling thus control your attributes. In my opinion in the long run, the only 2 signs for every character, are the mage and the atronach. Why take attribute bonus when you can max it out anyways when magicka is far more valuable?

That's not necessarily bad... If you're playing a Nord Mage it isn't that bad.

IMO, I think any race with The Shadow suck. Sure, it might come in handy if you're in trouble, but there you have normal invisibility. And you don't need 1 minute of invisibility when it's over in less than thirty (Activing objects, attacking, etc.)
The only reason why I'd pick this, was if I was gonna make a Shadowscale.

Funny answers so far :P.

High Elf + Atronach is actually the best character build possible.
High Elf + Apprentice is somewhere in the top 5.

Nord + Apprentice works well for a mage/warrior character.

Then what is the worst combination of race and stars? I think the most useless birthsign is The Serpent. The worst race? That's a difficult question since skills and attributes are more important than your race. I think I would go for the Argonian.

So Argonian + Serpent.

You got me there.
But Argonian/Serpent would be good for roleplay, nothing else...

I almost ALWAYS choose Apprentice for my Breton XD
Simply because then I have more magic.
