Willpower question

[Rivazar]

I have a question about raising willpower.
I was I a bit overjoyed being able to taste morrowind and not so accurate, I took all willpower abilities as major/minor. It means that if i want to get +5 to willpower, I have to up all 10 times for level only willpower skills. I know people will say “you do t have to up +5, +3+4 is ok”, but I just like feeling being accurate and wasting nothing. I wouldn’t even bother, but I picked atronach, so I often use summons to refill mana. Not mentioning that I wear light armor and have it as main skill. Which mean just getting hits can provoke + 1 lightarmor, leaving only 9 points for rest level up and destroying opportunity to raise +5 willpower.
What should I do? Getting off light armor if bar is almost full, and relying solely on potions not summons?

Get the mod called Improved Vanilla Leveling. This makes it so that you don't waste any points, even if you level up without +5 multiplier, as it allows you to gain attribute points by raising skills also.

You ever do another build (I play mage most of the time, or battlemage) always leave 1 Willpower skill in the misc pile so you can always level it .
Also remember Willpower with the Atronach sign is not that important any more., you do not need a high Willpower with that birth sign.
What level are you?
Early levels forget wearing your armour and raise unarmoured for speed, which is great for a mage.
As soon as you have levelled up you can go buy skills to ensure a more balanced level up.
Also min/maxing is not that important. Yes I actually make sure I min/max the first 4 or 5 level ups and then I could not care less. You will become OTT powerful very quickly.

I ignored willpower for some time (I am level 7). And I am not going to raise it right now I want it do a bit later, cause willpower
“Your ability to successfully cast spells of any College. This includes Conjuration and Illusion, even though they are 'governed' by Intelligence and Personality respectively (this just means that, if raised, they give bonuses to raising those stats when leveling up).
Your ability to innately resist Paralyze and Silence magic.
Your maximum Fatigue.”.

Exactly, in reality when you have The Atronach the only thing Willpower gives is a small resistance to Paralyze and Silence "spells", not weapons with that ability. There are not many casters in the game that throw paralyze or silence. If you started as Breton, Orc or get hold of "The Saviours Cuirass (60% magicka resistance)" which is light armour, the only thing Willpower does is help your Fatigue.
