Vagrant0 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 That tactic doesn't work on Ancient Dragons, their breath is stronger and they have more health. Best tactic is to use bow and dodge until it lands, then equip a pair of maces and use elemental fury to attack silly fast using power attack to stagger before it attacks.

Palpenious Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Mine keep flying off, I had to avoid one once because I had no bow and now it's like they are all shunning me! Seen at least 3 or 4 but they take off too quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkune Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 When you perform a shadow warrior you enable yourself to 100% sneak attack for about 2 ~ 3 seconds.You can dual wield daggers and with silent assassin you get 15x damage during a sneak attack for each dagger. They will also stack with the one hand weapon perks which grand another 2x multi and with the backstap ability (another 2x multi) of the dark brotherhood gloves, and of course you can add another 4x 40% more one hand damage with enchanted items, that is even without using the fortify enchantment potion exploit.Then of course you can add two 31 elemental damage enchantments per Daedric dagger which in my case already has 54 power. Too bad the shadow warrior time limit is too small for a power attack that would grant another 50% bonus but is prone to fail. Anyway I can one hit ancient dragons like that... All that effect stacking is kinda OP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adytum Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) Slightly off topic, but once, I had just come out of a dungeon, hurt and potionless, when a dragon suddenly flew over me. I was pretty low level, using only two handed without shields and magic. As the dragon flies towards me and my imminent doom is a fact, he suddenly bends off in another direction and goes to fight a giant instead, which brings the dragon to such low health that I can easily finish him off. This has happened several times afterwards, and it's awesome to watch a giant vs dragon fight. Also found that dragons can be baited towards a giant, if you happen to find one nearby. @arkune: I agree, and I some times feel like I need to limit the ridiculous effect stacking myself. First and foremost the thieves'. Edited November 22, 2011 by adytum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolves425 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) the best way to kill a dragon is with dragonrend. its a shout you obtain in the main quest which force dragons to land. Edited November 22, 2011 by Wolves425 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that effect stacking is kinda OP... The 40% 1 handed bonuses don't work on daggers. Its pretty well known. And there is a damage cap that is lower than the amount of health an Ancient dragon has, which means its impossible to 1hko one by normal means. I reached damage cap with a 2h power attack with a War hammer. How do I know this? Because berserker rage which is supposed to double damage, gets me absolutely no extra damage. Also critical charge does absolutely no more damage over a regular power attack, but if I equip a weaker weapon it does more. That means I reached damage cap. And it takes 3 power attacks to down an ancient dragon at level 60ish, with or without any buffs, seeing as how any buffs get me no damage gains. Also with berserker rage, normal attacks do the exact same damage as power attacks, which means I can reach cap with normal and power attacks. Dual wield maces would be the best possible DPS. Also the ignore armor perks with maces/warhammer is very significant. I tested this comparing damage with a Greatsword, to a Warhammer, and the war hammer hits for almost twice as much damage with a normal attack on a dragur deathlord than the sword does. And the same would apply to swords compared to maces. Mobs have higher armor rating than you think, especially in the 60+ range.
