Hope you enjoyed the video guys! If you did, a like is always appreciated 👍 🧙‍♂️ Question of the video: What would you like me to rank next? 👇 FAQs 👇 Q: The in-game description of The Atronach Stone is actually incorrect, what it really does is give you a 50% chance to completely absorb all incoming damage from spells (incoming spell attacks, scrolls, weapon enchantments, dragons' breath, shouts, diseases, venomous attacks and poisons). Furthermore, with The Atronach stone, 100% spell absorption can be achieved when it is combined (as shown here): elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Spell_Absorption_(Skyrim) 🧙‍♂ I have never been more wrong about this stone! 😱 Thank you for bringing this to my attention and forgive me for this inaccuracy. Knowing what I know now... I would rank The Atronach Stone either #1 or #2, and certainly not #12! 😅 Q: That lockpick sound is actually a thing? 🧙‍♂ Well... this is what the Wiki has to say: "Beyond the very visible shaking effect when you strain the lockpick, users report audible cues when slowly sliding the lockpick across its range. Irregularities in the grating sound or distinct clicks may give away the correct position." I have heard these irregularities myself (could be a coincidence) but they're not always present and its definitely best to wear headphones to increase your chances of hearing it.

Fun fact! The Aetherial Crown grants you the ability to have two standing stones active. I always use it with the Apprentice Stone and the Atronach Stone. The benefits complement each other and the cons cancel each other out. (100% magika regen. negates -50% magika regen., spell absorption negates 100% magika vulnerability) The Crown also has an exploit where you can take it on and off again to do once-per-day abilities infinitely, as taking it off recharges the ability.

The drawback for the lord stone is that it counts as armor for the mage armor perk. Meaning you dont get the improved magic armor along with he extra defense the lord stone offers. Which sucks if your going for a mage build, however it's good for any other playstyle though.

@theWelshWizard 2 года назад

Good point 👍

@BigAutisticDaddy 2 года назад

you have some good points on the Atronach stone, it's a double edged sword for pure mages sure, but for a warrior or even a spellblade this is easily top 3 at least. you can easily enchant a piece of armor or a ring with +50% magic regeneration if you know what you're doing.

Personally the Atronach Stone is my favourite when paired with necro mage and max alteration your invincible against magic although you won't be able to summon anything you'll just absorb it into your magicka bar. Edit: Hi everyone thank you for all your suggestions and future suggestions, I am a Veteran Skyrim Adventurer as are most of us as Skyrim is a Old game I have tried all suggestions again to be sure none work this is a Bethesda game somethings just work and others..don't, personally I think it adds a nice touch to my character like he is forbidden from summoning the creatures of Oblivion if I really want to fix this I'll install the USSEP that fixes it

@warspite908 2 года назад

I'm upset to see The Atronach so low on the list. A certain tip: shouts count as magic in the game mechanics, so dragon breaths get absorbed as well. And if you have the Atronach and some specific perks, 100% absorption is possible, turning you invincible against most dragon attacks, and any spellcaster. The problem is how Atronachs work though, since the game hits you with a hidden spell to add to the Active Effects tab, meaning that any Conjure spell loses its worth.

Little late here, but I've never actually had or noticed any conjuration issues like others have posted here.

@gloves_ow3107 2 года назад

theres a bit of a misconception about how spell absorption works in skyrim, it doesnt take half the damage and magicka from one spell, it has a 50% chance to take ALL of the damage and return ALL of the magicka. meaning you can still get bursted in one attack, really cool effect tho i like using it

@monhi64 3 месяца назад

I’m assuming it’s one of those situations where the devs described it in a basically flat out incorrect manner in game. It’s insane that the game even released with these incorrectly described mechanics but incomprehensible they’re still wrong a decade later. I’m pretty sure there’s something that has magic resistance and the game describes it as 50% but it’s actually 25%. Or there’s that one restoration perk that says it cures 50% more but healing spells don’t cure anything as far as I know, it should say HEAL 50% more saying cure is very confusing

@davidevans7477 2 года назад

12: Atronach should at least be top 3. Magicka regen only happens when not casting, and is slow AF anyways. That 50 magicka and percent absorb is great. BTW, it absorbs poisons and spider poison........ My top three 1: Atronach (spam them spells, drink a potion too. Also the 50 percent slower speed hard countered by mage robes...) 2: Ritual 3: Lord

@lalatoya_ 2 года назад

Personally, I rather just use wards to block spell damage then completely lose the ability to use summon daedra or raise dead. Plus, I hate how Spell Absorbtion can occasionally break quests such as Brelyna's Practice or Experimental Subject. The magicka regeneration penalty is just a minor nuisance compared to the other issues but I rather not have it since it is rather annoying having to wait even longer for magicka to regenerate. I personally think the stone is overrated

@lalatoya_ 2 года назад

@@davidevans7477 Nah. Conjuration doesn't work at all if you have 100% Spell Absorbtion (and I don't why you would bother having any if you don't go for 100% protection, since it's otherwise RNG based); plus, I don't want to cast a Master Conjuration spell 5 times in a row just to summon a single Atronach, especially mid battle. Not to mention, in the Special Edition of the game, players will recieve the Saints & Seducers creation for free, which adds two new effects into the game which can be obtained from the Elytra Nymph pet followers and these provide some very nice bonuses for 5 minutes, which include fortifying your combat skills and fortiying your health and stamina. You don't even need to have the pet followers actively following you too... you can just teleport it to you and ask for help in battle and it will give you the effect but if you have spell absorbtion, you won't recieve the effect as it will be blocked. Oh... and it can absorb the shadow warrior perk too, so it's literally bad for all play styles now lmfao Like, if you want projection from spells... just use a ward... if you don't want to reduce the cost of using wards, you can obtain Spellbreaker, Staff of Hasedoki or Shield of Crusader which can create wards without consuming any magicka and of cause, you do have the option of just increasing your resistance to Frost, Fire, Shock, Poison and Magic which can be increased using potions, enchantments or even special perks (some of which, like the Agent of Mara, don't even require perk investment and just require a quest to be completed) and don't come at the cost of breaking quests or redending some effects useless. Needless to say, there are other options to protect from spells that don't any nearly as many drawbacks.

You absorb 80 percent of destruction magic, enchantments, shouts, poison, disease, pretty much everything that isn't pure physical damage. Also, magic absorb is a percent chance to negate all damage and add the magicka cost to your pool, so it's all or nothing. You either absorb it or you don't and if you don't, you still have magic or elemental resistances to reduce the damage on the off chance you get hit.

@simone6726 2 года назад

It can be good for mages too. Just enchant your gear however you need. In practice I usually didn’t find magicka regen to be that necessary on my full mage builds. If you start as high elf you already have plus 50 magicka, you get the atronach and you have 200, without even investing any points. The main magicka drainer for me was always using wards or being attacked with shock spells, so the stone negates that by a lot. And if you’re good at enchanting you can reduce the spell cost of destruction to basically nothing, making regen unnecessary. :)

I've changed my stance on the Atronach Stone - check out my pinned comment for more info! :)

@Lord_necromancer Год назад

What I like to do for mages is be a vampire and cast guardian circle. The spell will try to affect you, as you're undead, and The magic absorption will continuously absorb the base cost (not modified by skill or perks) of the guardian circle spell, effectively giving you infinite magic for the duration.

@chamathamara 2 года назад

I would rank Atronach stone a bit higher. You can overcome the slow magic regeneration by fortifying destruction (or any magic school) using enchanting. I believe you can reach 100% fortification on two magic skills. You'll need 100 enchanting, which you can easily achieve by enchanting banish on iron daggers.

@howarddewing6617 2 года назад

Atronoch stone is best in the game without a doubt. Is required for 100% spell absorbtion which is absolutely game breaking. The magic Regen thing is easily counteracted by any enchanted mage gear, and when combined with some alteration perks can give you an infinite mana pool when up against mages and total magic nullification.

Love your vids and the simple yet informative presentation. I wish there was more skyrim content of the same caliber. That being said... I am confused about a statement you made during the Mage stone section, precisely @15:40. You state one of the "Drawbacks" is that it can be out performed by fortified skill enchantments. I'm not sure exactly how any of the fortifying enchantments would grant you a >20% boost to XP gains. As far as I know there aren't any fortify XP enchantments or enchantments that positively affect your xp gains over an entire class of skills. The way I see it there isn't anything in skyrim that could outperform the Guardian stones/ Lovers stone and make them obsolete. LMK if this is just a misunderstanding on my part. Beyond that snag keep making videos grand wizard!

@theWelshWizard 7 месяцев назад

Thanks man, I appreciate it! And I'm not entirely sure what I was getting at there lol 🤔 ignore me - nothing can outperform the XP boosts you get from The Guardian Stones and Lover Stone. But you can get the Well Rested or Lover's Comfort bonus in combination with your standing stone of choice for even more XP gain!

Atronach stone is my favorite stone. There are a few builds that can work around the Atronach builds. It works with alchemy and you can make yourself immune to spells. There's also a build called the Seraphim build where if you take 3 specific potions and then use the stone you'll be able to use continuous spells without stopping. It's a unique form of gameplay.

@randymotter51 2 года назад

Some of the lower ranking ones are definitely better if you make a build centered around them, but of course that makes them less accessible for those loading up the game for some quick fun, not wanting to have to do all that work and justifies placing them lower down. Placing stuff that is easier to use up top seems sensible to me, and the video is editted rather nicely. Well done.

@dicyanoacetylene6220 2 года назад

For the stones that have a cool down, you can't always use the wait function (combat, trespassing, under water), and there are without question ways to work around those hindrances. I'd say a better solution is that the timers just have a way shorter cool down, and/or have a charge stockpile mechanic. Let's say you can have at most 4 charges at a time, you can spend them back to back, or slowly throughout the day, regaining a charge at dawn, midday, dusk, and midnight. Those who are mindful with there use can have an effective 5 charges at any given time, which can be really helpful. Now as that would be more than a little over powered, the ones with a duration would have those timers drastically reduced as well. Oh, and the tower stone, give it a secondary effect that can bust master locks, but is tied to a one day timer. None of these will really effect those who spam the wait function, but gives some leeway to those who would rather wait in real time.

@popguy2815 Год назад

Some really good mods for the stones. I use the Guardian stone that covers skills I will only use occasionally (ex mage because I always use summons with any build, so few activations per figt).

@rons3634 10 месяцев назад

Early game I use the guardian stones depending on what skill I'm trying to increase, Alchemy, Smithing , or Enchanting. At mid game it's usually the Lord Stone. I don't bother with any stones that let you use an ability only once per day.

@coreyengwall6779 Год назад

I like the steed stone myself, but here’s an additional benefit that he didn’t mentioned. It not only takes away the weight of the apparel you are wearing, but every identical apparel. For example if you have a full set of forsworn armor, you can loot every forsworn of their armor at no cost to your weight. It’s also very handy with crafting.

@berendmuller1794 2 года назад

holy shit i never knew about the lock clicking as you move the pick. i just learned to split the lock in a certain amount of sections depending on the lock's level. like how novice locks are just in one of the upper corners 90% of the time. i gotta start paying attention to this as i go through the AE, it might make me love lockpicking again!

@xenoplayz4524 2 года назад

Rewatched this vid love your videos :), will say you can offset the downside of atronach stone (-50% magicka recovery) by enchanting your armor/clothes/robes to cost 0% magika in upto two schools of magic, one being destruction for example. So you won't have to worry about the -50% magika recovery. You could wear the aethrial crown to have both lord stone and atronach stone for massive magic resistance plus the passive perks you can get from alteration, breton and maras quest. It will essentially make you immune to magic.

I personally love the Lord Stone the most since once your done leveling skills it's a massive boost to your defense. However I use the Mage Stone the most since I use almost every type of spell in combat and put of combat.
