I some circumstances yes, it's solid. A battlemage in this game is almost impossible to play as due to the fact you can't block, and you're not stealthy to sneak in. So you have to charge head on but are not as strong as a 2H or Sword & Shield. I had to re-roll that character; I would get massacred by even a group of Draugr or Mercs.
I hate games that are too easy, there's no challenge and you get less time-is-money out of it. I completed Fallout 3 in Expert (Xbox) and Oblivion on hard (PC). I had CoD MW3 done on hardened first time in 4.5 hours - but while I am fairly shit at Skyrim on Xbox, I had to turn the difficulty down or I would need an endless supply of health potions. Problem is "Apprentice", being the next one down from "Adept", is too easy; where I don't stop dying on Adept.
