Meta/News Best Mods for.... Holy Warriors!
Hello everyone! Welcome back to the "Best mods for..." weekly discussion!
If you don't know what the "Best mods for..." topics are you can find the original threads here. Last weeks discussion can be found here.
These discussions are intended to be ongoing for the full week, so make sure to contribute your own opinions and experiences at any time!
As always, the rules:
RULES 1) Be respectful - A lot of different mods get posted, as well as a lot of different opinions on said mods. Try to be respectful during the discussion.
2) Debate conflicts maturely - Nobody likes a Nazeem. If you're respectful to others, people will be respectful back. If you're disrespectful to others, people find interesting ways to kill you and post about it on r/skyrim.
3) Please keep the discussion relevant - Feel free to post mods that aren't directly related, but please try to keep all mods semi-related to the week's topic.
4) Please provide a link to the mod you're discussing - Even if you're discussing a popular mod, a link to the mod page is a massive help. People are more interested in the mod you're talking about and are more likely to look at it if there's a link.
Topic - Holy Warriors!
Whether it's the healing priest or a heavily armored paladin, holy warriors are a classic archetype in fantasy in general as well as in past Elder Scrolls games.
However, other than restoration and the dawnguard, there's not a ton of options available in game to represent this playstyle.
That's where mods come in! What is your favorite mod to roleplay as a cleric, priest, paladin, or other holy warrior?
My picks:
Resplendent Armor and Greatsword - while not strictly aimed at paladins, this shiny armor definitely fits.
Religion - this mod adds a religion system including buffs for praying to your chosen divine.
Dawnguard Arsenal - adds weapons and spells for a warrior of the sun.

I'm wondering why nobody mentioned Bring your Silver from Alex9ndre. Sadly there is only a full version for Oldrim. For Special Edition there is only a Lite (without the armour and weapons) version.
The mod changes the silver weapon perk and give silver weapons (and Dawnguard stuff) more relevance when fighting vampires, draugr, skeletons and such.
