ElricOfGrans Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I have never played a full-on mage character, generally preferring sword-mage or thief-type characters, so I have not used Conjuration at all. I am considering starting a mage, and figured it was time to make some use of Conjuration. Summons are blindingly obvious in how to use and benefit from, but I do not get Bound Items. A Bound Weapon would presumably be better than a real weapon until late game, I am guessing, but I would imagine Destruction magic would be more effective in the long run for a non-sword-mage... mage. Bound Armour just seems plain silly: cast a spell to give you a temporary armour bonus that penalises your spellcasting. Why not just wear armour, or use Shield spells? Are Bound items generally not especially useful, or am I missing the point with my complete inexperience with mage characters? For what it is worth, I run Supreme Magicka and LAME (loaded in that order), which presumably has an impact on these spells from how they run in the vanilla game.

BFG99 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 What are they good for?ABSOLUTELY NOTHIN'! (Sorry, I couldn't resist. :) I really hope someone on the board gets this reference.) But I see a couple of good uses for bound armor: the Spoiler above, and Bound Armor has saved my character's hide at least a couple of times when they were attacked unexpectedly and without proper equipment.

ElricOfGrans Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 I was aware of the exploit, but did not plan on using it. So, essentially, it works as a panic button, rather than something you make constant use of (like regular armour). I guess that makes sense. It would probably be worth holding onto something for when things do go horridly wrong. I guess I will have to give it a try. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
