Many players in The Elder Scrolls choose classes such as archers, robbers, and others that require light armor. “Skyrim” includes a lot of opportunities for obtaining such armor, but first you need to figure out who they are suitable for, which ones are best to choose and where to get them.
Who should wear them?
There are several classes that need light armor as such. These are robbers, archers and attacking warriors. A robber is a class to which heavy armor is contraindicated in principle, and exceptionally light armor is suitable. "Skyrim" includes a lot of subtle mechanics that you need to consider when playing a silent killer - stealth, endurance and a ton of others.
First of all, light armor allows you to walk absolutely silently, therefore, having a pumped skill of stealth, you can cut out a whole camp and still not get a single blow. It is also worth noting that in light armor the character spends much less stamina, which makes him more mobile, and also allows you to use more various techniques in battle.
Archers are more important not so much stealth as mobility, which also provides light armor. "Skyrim" allows the characters in it to spend much less stamina on running, and the speed itself is faster. Thanks to this, you can easily change your position after stealth attacks and at the same time always be able to hold your breath for more accurate shooting.
What is the best armor?
If you do not take into account the fact that armor mods are constantly being released on Skyrim, in the standard version the most effective set is dragon's scaly armor. You can’t find it anywhere, so the only way to get armor is to pump blacksmithing, kill several dragons to get the right ingredients, and do it yourself.
At the same time, it is worth noting the fact that it is not at all necessary to pump exactly the branch in which light armor is created. Skyrim provides an opportunity, after studying the last perk, to make both light and heavy sets. Therefore, you can go through the branch of heavy sets, but during the upgrade, be content with only broken armor.
How to pump it?
To pump blacksmithing is most effective in any case by the endless re-creation of iron daggers, so up to 100 it can be raised quite quickly. At the same time, this will allow you to raise a considerable number of levels, making the character an order of magnitude stronger. but you must understand how important armor is. In order for it to surpass other sets, it will need to be enchanted.
Knocking out
If you consider pumping blacksmithing a very time-consuming or not too optimal investment of points, then in this case you will have to rely only on knocked out weapons and sets. In Skyrim, the best light armor that can be knocked out is the nightingale set, which is obtained after the murder of the guardians of the Nocturnal Temple. Putting on this enchanted set, the wearer takes increased stamina, and also deals much more damage with one-handed weapons and can cast spells with reduced cost.
A quite worthy alternative to nightingale armor can be an ancient armor of shadows, which can be removed from the assassin in the process of completing one of the quests of the dark brotherhood. The thing is that the helmet from this set significantly increases the damage from bows, which will be extremely useful for ranged characters, and gloves double the damage done from the back.
Among other things, a death seal set was added to the Dragonborn DLC, which when wearing a full set gives a huge boost of damage with one-handed weapons when used in two hands, and also significantly increases the power reserve, while also having nice protection indicators when wearing a full set.
