Magey McFireball
Butthurt
I have been playing a thief, a warrior, and most recently a mage, and I noticed something. With a thief and the stealth skill tree (at around level 30-40) you don't need a lot of gear enchanted with huge numbers to sneak in and one shot almost anything. Warriors don't need +12 Two Handed Skill on their hammer or +5 Heavy Armor on their helm to go in and tear plops up. Both of them can go in and do fairly well in a fair combat scenario. A mage on the other hand, if I go charging in with a set of Daedric armor, I dual cast a couple of fireballs, and out of magicka. All I can do is hide behind a rock for a while until I can pop back out again and fire another one off, with hopefully Lydia distracting them.
Is there any way to get around this until I get a high enough enchanting skill? The Daedric armor usually keeps me enough alive, and I gave Lydia a full dragon bone set with a dwarven shield, but it still gets down to cast, cast, stand there like a moron soaking up damage waiting for magicka, cast, repeat. I would use lower cost spells, except they suck against all the enemies at this level, please help!
