sentinel1313 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I can't really think of a better weapon for your playthrough than the Ice Blade of the Monarch, but there are other sword mods from authors like Tartaross that might fit the aesthetic you are looking for; Corvus, Ordinem, Caligo, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anjenthedog Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 A dagger. They're a bit like mages and primarily cast spells, they're not really weapon masters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novem99 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) A dagger. They're a bit like mages and primarily cast spells, they're not really weapon masters. Exactly. A big 2hand sword like the Ice Blade of the Monarch is the last thing that would fit on a necromancer. Edited May 5, 2020 by Novem99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anjenthedog Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 PS> I have several daggers with hit points of around 300. I carry two in dual-wield (Merune's razor, and an ebony dagger, both upgraded via smithing) and even leveled opponents don't last very long if they get within striking range. So... daggers aren't insignificant, or at least they needn't be. (even if iron daggers are commonly found among the (generally speaking) mage classes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentinel1313 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Well, the Ice Blade of the Monarch mod does include a unique dagger (Krahvalok) and staff (Apotheosis), and a lore-friendly quest to obtain those weapons. If you want a mod that offers artifacts matching the "ice necromancer lord" aesthetic, you could do a lot worse.I agree that it wouldn't be practical for a spell-casting necromancer to wield a heavy sword or scythe that you would constantly have to sheath/put away in order to cast spells, but it might be fun to make a hybrid build, especially with all the overhaul mods that offer different spells, enchantments, and character perks. I suggested some swords because that was what was requested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackninja50 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Maroons razor, it's a vial weapon forged by the dadric lord Mehrunes Dagon, it has the ability to kill almost any foe with but a single strike. Admittedly it's not a sword but it dose surly seem the kind of weapon a necromancer would use. There's also stalhrim from the land of Solstheim, it's said that all frost enchantments are stronger when placed upon stalhrim items. A fitting weapon could sourly be forged from it if enough can be acquired. I've also heard tails of the "Earthice Sword" a strange weapon from another land, originally forged by squall then brought to skyrim by one named megatrainer. Good day. Heard any news from the other provinces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
