Are you kidding me? Magic's nerfed? Damn, dude...You don't have the Shock Bolt spell yet, I see. Dual-wielding it causes stagger on every hit, and instant vaporizationMuphin_Mann said:No i dont...but considering how nerfed magic is in this game...probably.
I was hoping to stack the shield's 50% elemental protection perk with Alteration's magic resistance perk and basically ignore spellcasters.sta697 said:yes i guess but why do you need a shield you should always dual wield magic,impact is broken
It lacks depth. Compared to the previous titles in the series their are very few spells and little you can do with them.dave1004 said:Are you kidding me? Magic's nerfed?

And don't even GET me started about Conjuring...Fire Atronach? Pfft. Storm? Oh hell yes. Dremora Lord? Let's tank three dragons and a Dragon Priest, aiight?
It's so overpowered that it's not funny. And before you ask, I played on Expert. Maybe not master, but I find master boring; - All you do is hit enemies with a bit extra life. And the pots you have to drink! Ahhgh.
That's not how role-playing works! D:sta697 said:yes i guess but why do you need a shield you should always dual wield magic,impact is broken
Armor spells only level you up if an enemy is around - even then I don't think it works by spamming. Like the above poster mentioned, Telekinesis seems to be the most time-efficient. Candle/Magelight might do it, but if it levels you up it's slowly. Haven't learned Detect Life so can't comment on that - need to just buy the tome when I think of it.Liquid Paradox said:Here's a quick question... How exactly do you level Alteration? I spam oakflesh, yet it does nothing to improve my alteration skill. So, I assumed that I needed to get hit while the spell was active, but that didn't help either. Am I doing something wrong?
I just wore heavy armor with a couple of points in it. I got Orcish at level 1, you can find it if you go to that once city. Pain in the ass to explain, meh. Armor doesn't seem to nullify magic, so no, you won't die immediately. And "Lacking Depth" does not mean "Nerfed".Muphin_Mann said:It lacks depth.

Also, if you want the magic needed to cast a lot of spells your going to neglect your health, which means any enemy with a 2-handed weapon will one shot you unless you wear a ton of armor.
Granted, if you max out enchanting it becomes instant win with free cast spells but that requires a lot of grinding...you can break any RPG with enough grinding.
You can't as there is a level cap to 85% for Magic resistance.Pinstar said:I was hoping to stack the shield's 50% elemental protection perk with Alteration's magic resistance perk and basically ignore spellcasters.
