I use the Grey Fox Hood to find my enemies, the I use an invisibility spell (one I made) with my favorite sword, a pirate cutlass, then I sneak behind them and POW!
with a sneak attack bonus of X6 I can decimate almost any human without heavy armor, they never knew what hit them.

I made a spell called TASER that paralyzes on target and does electrical damage for the duration of the paralysis.

My character is a high elf with aprentice birth sign and pumped up magica, so I made one that paralyzes and does 20 points of electrical damage per second for 20 seconds.

They fall down and die.

I have a dark elf battle mage with a spell call 'Shockingly Hot Blizzard,' its 75 shock, fire and frost damage and 100% weakness to fire frost and shock in a 10 foot radious. It costs 647 magika! I only have 3 magika left over, but it kills everything instanly! :twisted: Mass Carnage.

I also made a spell called "Burn in Hell", that combines turn undead with continuous fire damage.

So that's what you get up to with the results of all those "Fortify Magicka" Sigil stones!

I'm big on sneak attacking, espescialy with my bow. I can attack from the other side of chambers or way up on a hill and kill things that can't even see me. It's fun watching them spin around scanning for me while I kill them.

You'd be suprised. I used it once on a plane of Oblivion, I killed a dearoth (i think thats how you spell it) two demora and a spider deadread that tried to gang up on me. Only trouble was that i didnt see the storm atronch ahead! Thank Talos for Goldbrand

If I have a chance to sneak up on someone and power attack them, I will. Otherwise I get right up in your face and hack you to pieces with my sword.

Well I'm not so much into the fighting, so I've given in to dup'in and now just use Arrows of Immolation (courtesy of Mr Lemond or Pell's Gate Gall, can't remember) and watch pretty much everything blow up (rather spectacularly!) in a strike or two.

Though I still do do quite abit of brutal, and not even slightly refined, in your face hack'n'slash with my Enchanted Daedric Long Swords.

My style is to always have the best armor and melee weapons possible... weightless bound armor repaired to 125 health, enchanted with transcendant sigil stones with various effects and some sort of powerful longsword. If I'm not using Umbra, I'm using any of the many swords I've enchanted...

My fighting style I would describe as strategic. A variation of blocks and attacks, sometimes assisted with magic and poisons. After starting my first game, I noticed the tendencies the computer had with melee fighting.

But of course, I sometimes become impatient and hack and slash my way through annoying marauders and archers... :/

I've got a ring of the Khajiiti (sp) that gives 35% chameleon, and a random dungeon-trash ring that gives me another 30% chameleon. I'm a stealth master, I wear the Dark Hand robes that give me + stealth... see where this is going? Funny as all hell to shoot orcs and hear them saying "he was here a minute ago" while I try and put an arrow in their eye. Not that I think it does more dmg, it just looks cool to loot the corpse and see arrows in funny places.

Well you've certainly given me the incentive to work on Destruction now!

How good is your Magicka regen?? You could just keep casting the basic "Minor Heal" spell on yourself. Even if you don't need healing, I believe that it still does count towards increasing your level every time you cast it. If Minor Heal drains too much, try getting the "Minor Respite" spell, lowest cost Restoration spell available.

A basic "Restore Magicka" potion will help if your regen can't keep up, any two of Blackberry, Water Hyacinth or Flax.

Or a potion from Water Hyacinth + Void Salts will give you Restore and Fortify Magicka.

A while back someone posted the bolt size that's ideal for weighing down the "C" key while he went and mowed the lawn ......

I'm pretty crappy at alchemy but ill do some work. Also i relize that you can cast heal minor wounds a lot, it costs less magicka then any other spell (when cast 4 times it supasses heal major wounds in health and costs less maicka), but that doesnt help me in the heat of battle when im getting my ass beat by a F*%KING Lich. (No anger to you weka i just hate F*&KING Lichs.) Also im at 100 willpower so my magicka regens rather fast even though i have a lot of magicka.

The c thing is nice but im on Xbox so it wont help me, even though im constantly mowing my grass. (no homo)

Also there really is no insentive besides the fact youll be able to cast the spell, snap, thats good insentive neh? Also one minor edit. I dont know what i was talking about with the spell. its 100 fire, frost and shock. Sry but hey it only makes it better!

I know what you mean, I used to feel like that about Wisps!

But sounds like you def need to get into Alchemy! I use any two of Fly Amanita, Lavender and Green Shelf Cup for a basic Restore Health. At Master with full Master equip, you get 13pts x 43secs = 559 points of healing!!

Another potion on my "top 10" list is:

Bog Beacon + Aloe + Flax + Sweetcake
= Restore Health + Magicka, Shield, Feather

shoot some arrows and then beat them with hand to hand but now it only takes 1 arrow its special

weka · Post by **weka** » Sat Aug 05, 2006 10:46 am

One Arrow to kill a Lich??!! How do you manage that?!

What do you use? I guess you're prob a Master Archer?

mandangalow · Post by **mandangalow** » Sat Aug 05, 2006 1:07 pm

No, i think your lying dude. I could see killing almost anyother creature in one hit with and enchanted bow, enchanted arrows and master of both sneak and marksmen. But a Lich absorbs magic, its comonly refered to as the 'Mage Bane.' Absorb magicka applys to both enchanted wepons and spells. Under normal conditions i dont question someones honesty, but here i make an exception.

Restoration is just heinously slow.

mandangalow · Post by **mandangalow** » Sat Aug 05, 2006 3:10 pm

Dammit! Well i just gonna work on my combat. I got a kewl sword now. You were right you can do multiple enchantments, I have a Ebony Claymore with 100% weakness to fire and 39 fire damage. It kicks ass, only 19 uses though....

weka · Post by **weka** » Sat Aug 05, 2006 3:43 pm

mandangalow wrote:... I have a Ebony Claymore ......

Why?! Use a Long Sword, not a Claymore!! Claymore is two handed, you won't get your 6x sneak advantage, and esp with only 19 charges, you don't want to be throwing away your 6x for some of the tougher creatures!

Know what you mean about only 19 charges though, I have similar enchantments. But then I have one Fire Sword, one Frost, and same each for two weightless Summoned daggers, just incase I get caught short.... and each of them also has 1sec of Soul Trap, v. handy addition, and you loose hardly any damage.

Oh, and of course same for two weightless summoned bows, but weakness to poison for them, as I pretty much always poison my bows. Am thinking of switching them to Daedric bows though, as my Marksman is increasing, the damage diff between the Summoned and Daedric bows is also increasing enough to make it look like it might be worth putting up with the extra weight.
