I've returned to the game after a very long break and i've done the whole shenanigans with OP builds and some crazy stuff.

But DU adds something i haven't played with before, and that is how the old armour system is changed, making magical armour not that different from physical armour, meaning battlemages don't have to pump STR to wear heavy armour, they can flounce around in dresses on the front line and whack things.

So, i'm doing 4 elemental battlemages, keeping each specialized only in their element and warfare for some warfare skills and damage bonuses wielding staves (from INT).

Yes, i know, its not optimal, but its something a bit different. I know some elements work better with battlemage than others. I know some enemies will be a pain for some of them to handle (i'll have backup staves of different elements for when facing enemies with immunity to certain elements).

Any tips on how to handle these builds? Certain things that work well in combination? Any particular items to look out for that go well with battlemages?
