The Whiteskull Warlock [Skyrim Vanilla Alteration Build] S3E6



It’s the Season 3 Finale for our Skyrim Vanilla Build Series! Mods are great, but we love creating vanilla builds that can be played in any version of the game. This week we are excited to share with y’all the Whiteskull Warlock. The official mage for the deadly werewolf pirate crew β€œthe Whiteskulls”, this mage wishes to unlock secrets, and devour knowledge.

New Skyrim Builds are a lot harder to come by in 2021, but guess what?? We here for it! During a season we post every Friday. Hopefully we can help scratch that itch before Elder Scrolls 6 comes out πŸ™‚

We just hit 2k subs! So exciting! Thanks to everyone who has helped us get this far. We have so much more planned!

We’ll be taking a little while off to prepare for the next season and chill a bit, but don’t worry! We’ll be back with another season before you know it!

  1. Season Three Finale!! Thank you so much for all of your support this past season, and for 2k subs! We’ll be taking a few weeks off but we’ll be back with another season before you know it!

    See you soon! <3

  2. I am a fan of Orcs but never see a reason to play. I now have the BEST reason! I seriously want to make him in ESO for my guild activities but I do not know how just yet! Maybe Nightblade…

  3. Season one two and three each are jam packed with actual quality builds and ones that I’d want to play all of fully and I remember on other build channels I only liked handfuls but not all but as far as skypothesis goes every time you make another build it surpasses the next and literally every build you have made so far are my favorite ways to play now lol πŸ˜‚

  4. I've been really enjoying the Skyrim builds and it really got me back into Skyrim. I've been recently playing Skyrim for the Switch system and it's really fun. One move I think would be nice for The Whiteskull Warlock is Fearful Ambush. You combine Ash Rune at the entrance of a room and sneak to the other side. Transforming into a werewolf with a howl to scare foes away, forcing them into the Ash Rune or against your claws. Either way, death.

  5. Season 3 has proven to be the best season yet! Every single build is completely fantastic (not that your others aren't), and contains several of my new favourites.

    Not a single build in this season I don't care for. The other seasons both had a build that I didn't care for as much as the rest. But by that I mean they were 9/10, opposed to your usual 10/10 Builds.

  6. Once again you surprise me with your Uniqueness! I’ve never seen a werewolf pirate before, let alone one who is a mage, werewolf and a pirate all at once! Now he’s literally a SCURVY DOG! YO HO!

  7. Wow! This has to be one of my favorite builds, not sure if I prefer this or the Burning Barbarian. This is the best werewolf build I have ever seen, and I can't wait for Season 4. Thank you for the inspiration, this has given me an idea to make a similar vampire-lord version of this build!

  8. Loved the alteration aspect of the build, im definitely going to give this one a try. For season 4, here is my suggestion, make a Black arrow inspired build, black arrow is a skill book since morrowind, that tells about a dunmer, who had his master killed and then went after revenge with his knowledge of sneak and archery, using his ebony arrows (thats why hes called black arrow), it would be pretty cool, if you made a character that is inspired, got trained or is a descendant from the original black arrow, and then he follow his steps, he would not join the dark brotherhood, since his master was murdered and he has a good heart, he could join the companions, to learn new archery techniques, thieves guild to learn new techniques and receive nocturnals blessing, and so much more.

  9. Slow Time really is such a cool effect! Admittedly the Desert Magician is still my favorite out of all the S3 Builds but my god that last combo with Slow Time and the Werewolf form and the way you've described him as the Whiteskull literally cleaving through time itself with his claws is insane and is exactly the kind of flavor that makes your builds so incredible. I just want to applaud you guys for the wrap up of another season. I can't wait for Season 4!

  10. I've been playing around with an Alteration idea lately, completely different from this one, so it was so cool to see this build, beautifully presented as always. So much care and thought goes into each one, it's evident from the first minute to the last.

    Congrats on another excellent season.

  11. Wow. This has to be the most powerful build yet. I'd say it almost cries out for an alternate start as a werewolf

    In pure vanilla after Level 40 , ranks of armsman might come in handy. However if you are clever you won't need smithing perks . Instead build a fortify smithing suit and use a blacksmiths potion. If you are pushing for max power, make your own potion with a fortify alchemy suit for it . No need to exploit the resto loop this is normal magic and can easily be roleplayed as transmuting the weapons material with alchemy and magic. The easy way to deal with smithing is to pay Balimund to train you up to 51 (its nuts after that) which fits him studying the material properties of metal, heat and other such things

    Also a paralysis staff could come in handy , there is a guaranteed one in Snapleg cave. It will save you a lot of magicka and its cost is reduced by alteration skill and its duration increased by potions as well.

    I'd combo it with either Wabbajack to take out many foes I'd call it I dunno Say Cheese or with the dagger and slow time for "A thousand throats can be cut in one night by a running man." Orc Klingon what the difference πŸ˜‰

    Anyway looking forward to next season and keep up the great work
