gsmanners Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I don't know about battlemages, but my conjuror does great with blocking, and has even gone Legendary with it. It's just that he uses a bound sword instead of shield. And don't bother with block perks. Those are a waste of time, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rastafariel Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I agree that blocking with a mage seems a bit silly. RP wise at least. No I dont do it, and for those that do, well - that makes their mage stand out more I guess. p.s. I had no idea even the lowest level mage shield blocked dragons breath.

orchidra Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Since there are many great Mods that overhaul Magic or add nice Spells, you could try playing without Dual Casting. That would give you the Possibility to use Spells like Runes/Destro or Summons/Conjuration in your right hand and block with left. I have a Khajit Necro Knight who uses a similiar tactic. He wears Heavy Armor and a heavy Shield. He starts a fight by summoning undead Minions, a little bit of fear and rage and basically just waits for everything to die.If some one comes close to him he simply keeps blocking. I know its sounds kinda lame and boring, but its quite funny actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
