I've been a strict archer on almost every save I've had, but trying to shoot a dragon flying around in a circle is one of the most infuriating things in this game. I usually don't have any other unlocked shouts other than the Whirlwind Sprint, Fire Breath. and Unrelenting Force [i re-roll a lot], so I can't force the dragon down, so usually I will lead it to a nearby town or bandit camp and let them shoot at it until it lands on the ground, and then I attack it with a two-hand weapon in the face.
I'm pretty sure I would fail at this game if it was set on Master instead of Novice, Apprentice, or Adept.
Please please please change your font, some of us are old jiddery ba*****s on here and have faileing eye sight.
What are you using as Thralls? I prefer Master Vampires, because they use Drain Healh magic, weapons, and armor. Since you have the Sigil Stone, go use the Atronach Forge to whip up a couple Staffs of the Storm Atronach for them. They can use them, and their summons don't count toward your total. (Also, give one to a follower, like J'zargo, he'll do the same.) up to 3 Strom Atros, and 3 powerful mages will bring down any dragon with a quickness.Ok everybody, here is my preferred dragon killing strategy:
Character: Level 35 Breton Conjurer wearing Arch-Mage Gear
Step 1: Make sure I have my 2 Master Conjurer Dead Thralls (never leave home without them)
I just use a couple of Master Conjurers I've found. One is just Master Conjurer, the other is Ondolomar or something to that effect. My Breton is on a very strict "NO SMITHING" playthrough so no making anything. And I forgot to mention... most of the time I go without a follower but when I do have one I like Farkas (Big strong warrior). I also only let my Dead Thralls usually do the killing... if I myself were to get heavily involved it probably wouldn't be much of a show.What are you using as Thralls?

I spot one in the distance then run towards it like a crazy bastard swing my greatsword, humming some battle cry keeping my eye on it, then I proceed to run off a cliff or waterfall... you win again gravity.
I am primarily an archer, so I take shots at it, maybe dragonrend it, depending on the terrain. I do like to go in with my sword to finish it off, in the hopes of an epic kill cam I an only getting Revered Dragons now, and they have drain vitality shout, so it makes it a bit trickier to keep out of it's shouting range.

Nothing says badass like watching yourself in a killcam... unless it's you being killed... :\
