By the time I get to the end of this story the vampires at the castle will be extra f**ked. With this special axe my undead foes go down fast like little bitches. I went to the Soul Cairn and in previous games I remember it taking a bit to kill each enemy. I'm currently at 80 something kills with this weapon and this makes a huge difference. With every undead kill my war axe increases it's sun damage against the undead (vampires included) and doesn't reset. My current weapon? The Dawnguard Rune War Axe (Epic status), unlike other enchantment weapons this one does not need refilling. I like how you can be more stealthy when required with light armour and I like how it uses up less stamina. I compensate for being light armour with using a heavy shield and if I contribute 2 more points to the Hack and Slash Perk which adds to blood letting damage with an axe I could be doing a bit of damage even when blocking. My favourite light armour in fact is the Dawngaurd light armour and am currently using it (grey, 1 pauldron variant - Epic status). Imperial, Guard (minus the heavy helmet), and the Dawnguard light armour.

The only light armours I like are non-craftable. I've always frowned on light armour because of it's lack of choices, I just don't like any of it while heavy armours are more in option and much more appealing to the eye in my opinion.

So I've switched from Heavy Armour to Light Armour initially for leveling up.
