@@DolphLundgrensDolphinDungeon Stealth archer? You think running in and spamming light and heavy attack is better? In Stealth you need at least to aim.
@@HittokiriBattousai17 not just attacking, blocking and magic is also cooler than stealth archer. I mean.. sorry its so cowardly. I never got why so many people play like that. I only did it to bring my archery and snesking to 100 and never did it again afterwards
@@HittokiriBattousai17 the greatest ninja maybe. my lvl252 dragonborn does not need to hide from anything. But you can play as you like, even if its slow and boring
Died mid-swing all full of confidence. The only thing worse would have been if one of those necromancers had come and raised your corpse afterward. All that Triumphant Hero™ music pumping in the background must have been for the atronach. While still low level you gotta treat these the same as archers. When they're about to shoot, stop moving forward and focus on dodging instead. Luckily, in this game, everything moves kinda slow (except lighting spells, which still scare me at level 90) so dodging is easy.
For a second, I thought this was a completely different game based on the camera angle and the position of your health, stamina. But then I saw the atronarch. 😅
The magic in Skyrim is always so frustrating. Like, I can't use necromancy on powerful enemies, can't have a powerful undead minion to do my bidding because they are "too high level". When an enemy comes too close to me and I still need to wait for my thuum to recharge, I need to either paralyze them or use illusion spells, and those are not cheap to use. I have to always pause the game to select a spell for every situation, which might get tiresome after a while. Which isn't a problem for non magical warriors and stealth archers. They can just unsheathe their weapons, deal with the enemies and sheathe the weapons back. Nice and simple. Why can enemies still find me when I have boots enchanted to muffle sounds and am invisible? What the F is this shit!? And even if you have over 600 mana, the useful spells you need to use to beat a powerful enemy, the spells, they just quickly deplete your mana pool... Like, whyyyy... I once encountered a bandit in a bandit hideout who could spam all 3 destruction spells to counter all 3 types of my atronachs, and not even a dremora lord was a match for them. And get this, they also spam heal too. While I have to keep running and sneaking away like a pussy and wait for my mana to recharge. I am a freaking archmage and was struggling to beat a magical bandit! What the hell is happening, magic is broken and I AM SO DONE WITH THIS, REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...!!!
Skill issue. Joke aside, check your difficulty setting and/or try to min max, mastering alchemy, smithing or enchanting if not all three will always make any build viable.
@@Little-Buster no doubt you doing something wrong. Use summon conjuration to attract enemy aggro. There's more than just elemental/frost atronarch, there's also dlc conjuration spell. Use ebony flesh armor to protect from enemy physical attack. Carry multiple or even dozen of enchanting rings or/and amulet, i.e, spell reduction in some or all school of magic, fortify magicka, resistance against magic/elemental (most important) At some point, you can even just spend all attributes point into HP or stamina, especially HP once you have enchanted item that reduce your spell cast by 100%. They say the bare minimum magicka is 400 or something to cast the most expensive spell in term of magicka. When your hp is in thousand, no way you becoming a glass cannon. Especially with armor. Also make sure to spend perks wisely or just lvl up so many time and reset skills to have enough perks to spend the whole perk tree. No point of having 100 skills in destruction but only spending one or two perks into the the skill tree. There's also wearing armor even if you can playing as a pure mage. Battlemage is a thing, thus skipping the need to cast ebonyflesh.
@@Little-Buster one more thing, maxing them isn't enough, you actually have to use them, especially alchemy. With the right ingredients, you can make a potion that increase the damage of your spell by %, assuming you're not wearing armor, you will never be a weak glass cannon, you will be a powerful mage that can bring down a dragon in matter of seconds, or a literal second if you use alchemy exploit strong enough.
I played a Destruction mage on Legendary vanilla and had no issues. I think you probably just need more Hearthfire alchemy. Down a Fortify Destruction/Fortify Health potion, and you'll potentially more than double your damage output (both in per second and per magicka terms) as well as having enough HP that you'll be less likely to get 1-tapped by a single stray arrow. And of course, your only limit to magicka potion stock is your carry weight. As for Illusionary trickery, if you grind that skill to 100 before getting even a single level in any other skill, you'll be an unstoppable God... except against dragons. You'll need a follower and Marked for Death for those situations 😅
