Skyrim - Dragon Fight on Master Difficulty (lvl 14 Mage)

Fighting the dragon on Eldersblood Peak (near the city of Morthal) on the hardest difficulty, Master, with a level 14 pure destruction/restoration mage.

I was using the "Becoming Ethereal" shout, which provides about six seconds of damage immunity as long as you don't attack or cast. It's pretty awesome since that's six seconds of fire you don't have to tank with Healing.

I didn't have the Impact destruction perk, so I couldn't interrupt his fire breath by dual casting. Would have made this MUCH easier.

Wow this looks brutally tough... and boring.

You really ought to try (if you haven't yet) semi-tanky with dual-wielded blades, and the Elemental Fury. Your DPS is INSANE.

Even without enchants you will saw-blade through those Dragons. I've been killing them in literally 2 seconds after they land. It's silly.

@hellzbomber It gets a lot better once you have impact (the destruction stagger perk) + fireball, but yeah it was pretty tedious back when I recorded this.  This mage is level 22 now and I just made a dual wielding rogue to try something new, we'll see how it goes (mages fuck me up, though, at level 6)

@lordy2808 Yeah that's where I've read it is, too, but I still haven't done that quest, so I must have picked it up somewhere while randomly exploring.

[SoCalAries]

@EnjoysMudkipz get used to it. mages will always fuck you up on master lol

[ManUAG12]

I have to play on Master Diff. cuz of my gear. I literrally two shot dragons (normal ones), and blood dragons are too easy too..... So i usually hope to meet a Dragon Priest + a Elder dragon or something to make it exiting O.o (like in Shearpoint)

@smokedbazola whats up with people these days want anything super easy? this is just way too boring and not challenging.

[Nhordmyr]

@hellzbomber thats why basicly you restrict yourself and do not enchant and do not pick the major skills. sounds wierd but is way more challenging and fun. I play on master, almost never pick health on either my "ranger" or my mage-type. Both practicly get one- or two-shotted by any monster. Lvl 33 atm and I'm only at High Hrothgar for now.

get shadowmare from the dark brotherhood quests and he will keep the dragon busy while you kill it easy peasy japanesy .
