Ok first really sorry if I am posting in the wrong topic. Anyway umm so I have two questions. The first is what level do I have to be to fight the ebony warrior? And Is he hard to kill on legendary? The other is what good spells can I use effectively against enemies? I was playing a warrior, leveling up my one handed, two handed, archery, blocking, and heavy armor. I also leveled up my enchanting, conjuration( to get two thralls) and Smithing. So I have been forced to play as a mage and level up even more to fight the ebony warrior. Anyway back to the spell thing. So I mainly use fireball, firecloak, ash shell (what that telvanni guy sells me), ironflesh, bound battle axe, and bound bow. NONE of them are effective against people except the bound bow, and bound battle axe. I am playing on legendary so that may be why. My point is are there any good spells that do a lot of damage? I am leveling up my destruction at the moment so I might get better spells, but I need to know if its worth leveling up if there isn't going to be good spells. Sorry for the really long thread.

My destruction level? I think its 42? Wait I may be thinking of my alteration idk. And I have heard the ebony warrior is hard but imposible to beat on legendary. I hope he isn't as hard as karastag, oh my god that was the most epic and hardest fight I ever been in. barely killed him. I really hope he is easier to kill than karastag.

If you're going for mage you should REALLY level up destruction. Double time it

He's certainly beatable on legendary, a certain Mace Maiden can vouch for that. :beermug:

While playing as a mage, my favorite destruction spell was Ice Storm. You need both Augment Frost perks for the damage output to be sufficient. This mage also wore the mask of Dukaan to further boost frost damage. The spell is superb for inflicting icy pain upon many enemies at once, such as bandit or forsworn camps.

Lightning Storm is an awesome spell, but you need to be level 100 destruction to get it, and none of the other master level spells are worth it in my view.

Anyway I can level up in destruction really fast? For alteration I just casted ironflesh every time I was fighting and that got it up a good bit. For conjuration I just did bound sword constantly when fighting. So is there a quick way for destruction? Oh and that's good that the ebony warrior is beatable. Also idk if I would use shock spells. Trying to be a fire mage or pyro mage whatever its called.

Ebony Warrior is harder than Karstag. I hate the EW.

If you don't care about spamming to level, then get yourself a rune spell (in your case it would be Fire Rune). Equip yourself with a bunch of enchanted items that make destruction cost nothing to cast. Then find an Imperial or Stormcloak camp and kill all the soldiers. There will be one Essential one left...now just spam him with Fire Rune and Healing and watch your levels rise up. Alternately you can find the nearest tomb and have at all the Draugr inside with your Rune Spell. Forget the lower spells. The more damage you do, the quicker you level up.

Also go to the College and buy more powerful destruction spells from Faralda. Once you get to level 90 in Destruction she will give you a special quest to do in which you gain more spells.

Another way I have killed the Ebony Warrior was with some help...a LOT of help. With three followers and not using any mods or glitches. When you start Dawnguard and you lead Serana out of the tomb, you are supposed to take her home. Welll... I let her tag along with me for a while, to help out with some of the harder quests (Forelhost for instance). I also had Valdimir and Shadowmere.
Cue the EW.
Serana hits him with her Drain life spell, Vald hits him with his Ice Spears and Shadowmere, well he just goes nuts. EW is so distracted fighting off your friends that you can do whatever you like. Aim spells, arrows, whatever. Just don't get too close to him.
That was one way. The other, I was alone.
I died. A lot.

I personally think magic in Skyrim is worthless, except for healing or conjuration, im a heavy armor warrior and for me all that has been effective against all enemies i met is: cold heavy weapons ( two handed), a follower to cover you if ure severely wounded and a Dremora lord by ur side ( or any other badass conjurations u can afford), the logo is: the stronger u are face to face, the faster they die, the less damage u take.

Replying to shadow kitty: Yeah that's bout what happens in every boss fight I was in. Let my followers distract the big guy, sometimes it works mot of the time It doesn't though. I kinda cheat a bit in skyrim though. When I started a new character on legendary. It was impossible to kill anything so I had to run away from enemies. So I got a bunch of quest followers. Thonnir that guy from Morthal, Serana from the dawnguard questline, Enmon the dad from the heart of dibella quest, Brother verules from the taste of death (I think that's the name of the quest idk its the ring of namira quest.) Vorstag my main follower, that orc chief yamarz I call him yam, a forsworn pillager archer I named Rudolph, and barbas. Replying to tryania ik magic sucks I am only using it to level up I have maxed out all my warrior skills to 100.
