Any advice on doing a pure alteration build?
Dual Casting and Fortify Alteration potions will make them last longer. They're not meant to be a proxy for armor. They're just to save you from getting one hit if you're a squishy robe wearing mage.That's it. No Oakflesh, stoneflesh, etc... I'd really rather wear armor or just avoid the situation or let my followers handle it. They don't last long enough for my taste and make my skin itch...
And informative too! I just liked the "squishy" part. I'm actually pretty good at avoiding confrontation and am learning to use followers and raised & summoned beings on this run through. Am looking forward to higher levels and higher power. Since it's my first run through, maybe you have a tip about any other Alteration perks that may be of use. Obviously I'll need to perk up some armor with robe enchants just to keep them up there, but nothing heavy, just extra protection - or maybe perk up robes to mimick armours. Hmmm...
