Khajiit Claws build?

Unread postby XViper » 30 Nov 11, 10:15 am

Hey,

Anyone know if this is viable?
I've heard that there is really no way to increase the damage on Khajiit Claws, which would make them quite weak and not a valid choice?

What perks if any will effect the claws? Is enchanting gloves/gauntlets the only way to increase damage?

Fists of Steel in the Heavy Armour tree is meant to be quite effective.

Yeah, that is the only other thing I found.
It kinda destroys my entire of having a light armour build though.
I don't want to be a tank :(

You could just wear heavy gloves and light for all other armour.

Granted that's probably not what you want.

You don't get the "all light" "armour set" bonuses that way. :(

The Fists of Steel damage bonus is based on the armour rating of the gloves, though - so you'd need to be skilled in both heavy and light armour if you only wanted heavy gloves.

Also, khajiit don't seem to get any different hand to hand animations so you are still just punching people.

I've just started using that build too! Bit disappointing that brawling isn't a skill option. Although a guy in Riften has some brawling gloves, so best get your enchanting up and steal them! :-D

i have some heavy gloves that have bonus unarmed damage on them. Between those, the heavy armour unarmed perk and the khajit racial bonus you'd probably get some decent damage going.

Don't know how viable it would be late game though. Khajiit unarmed damage is 15 points, and I'm not really sure how you'd increase that much except through the aforementioned set of heavy gloves enchanted with the brawler buff thing. IF you can apply that same buff to other pieces of equipment that could be viable.

You would have to focus fully in getting your heavy armor rating up as much as possible, maybe a daedric matched set?
