Are you using mods or console commands, perchance? Sometimes they will literally stand there, staring each other for half the duration of the spell, just holding their shields up as if they are waiting for the other to take a swing.Ģ607:FEA8:BD1F:FE77:4977:B5D0:C228:A78B wrote:Īs someone who loves destruction magic in theory but ragequits quickly on most sessions due to how disgustingly underpowered it is, I'm actually amazed anyone is speaking highly of it. HOWEVER, due to Skyrim abominable combat system, frenzy spells, more often than not, do not produce the desired effect simply because enemies take forever to kill each other. In regards to illusion, the frenzy spells are especially useful for culling herds of enemies from a distance by having them kill each other before you finally move in for the kill. Additionally, if you combine dual casting and impact, most enemies can never even touch you.
E.g Frost is good for keeping melee enemies at bay, and shock for mages and dragons. Each destruction element is well catered to different varieties of enemies in the game, for instance. On the contrary, as someone who is currently on a destruction-based playthrough on Legendary difficulty, destruction magic is extremely useful once you reach higher levels of the skill.
