What armor for a two handed battle mage?

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to level my warrior/mage Nord :).

I'm using a two handed weapon, but I'm not sure what type of armor to use (light/heavy). Since I'll probably put most of my level up stats into magic/health and not stamina would the weight of heavy armor be a problem later on? What about bonuses, would it be more likely to find light armor with warrior/mage synergy?

Thanks for your input!

Answer

If you're going for a tank build (stand there, violently attacking and taking tons of damage) go heavy. This would be melee > magic.

If you're going for a kiting build (run around, fire off spells, then run in and attack) go light armour OR (IMHO a better option from what I've seen; the stat boosts are huge) enchanted robes of something. This would be for a magic > melee build.

And if you're looking for bonuses, I believe they are equal. If not, just enchant your own.
