Ah I broke this game by level 34 (Dragonplate set made), even on Master difficulty it's too easy now. Decided that a one-handed/shield warrior would be pretty good, and I was very right. Have 1042 armour rating right now and a 164 dmg Ebony Mace (stacking one-handed attack enchantments on my ring/neck/boots/gloves, plus 100% increase from one-handed mastery).

Giants can't touch me with their power attacks, in fact that's how I power leveled my blocking the fastest. Dragons, even elder dragons, get one-rounded once they land, I just position myself to force them to, don't bother shooting. Whole crowds of humans can't touch me. My only threat are mages, but they die quickly enough when I charge through the crowd and destroy their unarmoured ass. I rolled an Orc too, and if I ever actually do feel in trouble, berserker rage will end them all with double damage. I'm rich too, I found the dragon priest mask that increases prices by 20% early on (20-ish), found another 20% price neck later on, and with enchanting you can add the worth to any weapon by 400 gold.

Focused on, in order of importance:
-Heavy Armour (100% armour mastery, 25% bonus for all heavy armour, 25% bonus for matching set, and conditioning are best)
-Blocking (40% blocking mastery, power+disarming bash, elemental block, sprinting bash all sweet)
-Smithing (Very easy and cheap to power level, just make hide bracers (only need leather) or iron daggers (iron/leather strip). Crafting everything gives about the same XP from what I saw, just need more of it each level. Made me OP when I made a full Orcish set by like 20.)
-One Handed (One handed mastery 100%, and mace mastery to ignore 75% armour are incredible)
-Enchanting (Longer to level but I make mad money with it, enchanting pays for itself if you learn the right ones, you can buy soul gems off the vendor and make money. Nearly hit 100 on it and when I do, GG double 100% enchantments.)

Once I find two more Daedra Heart's it'll be a full set of that and ridiculous. To make armour/weapons really well first enchant a smithing improvement set (chest/gloves/ring/neck) with grand soul gems. Stack enchanter's improvement potions when you do it too. Then once the set is crafted, double improve it while wearing smithy gear and stacking blacksmithing improvement potions and you will nearly double the armour rating/weapon damage.
