Since your power will rely in a big part on your magic, you don't need to have the latest tank armor as a warrior would. A steel or dwarven can still give you decent protection even later in the game while not weighing as much, and looking better. You don't *have* to upgrade to higher tier armors (daedric etc.). If I have a shield, I hotkey it for easy swapping.I was coincidentally just thinking of this. Cuirasses tend to weigh about as much as all those combined with less protection on its own. I usually just go with Boots, Gloves and Greaves. Originally posted by Bansheebot:You also don't *have* to wear a full suit of armor (or immediately jump to the next tier) since you have Ranged and Shield spells.
