I didn't think the Vampire Lord's could be staggered, as someone said they were immune to pushback. If what you say is true, balance has been put back into the world to some degree.Do not underrate the Werewolf's ability to knockspam (staggerspam in VL's case), in melee range it's a death sentence for the Vampire Lord. A poorly placed Vampiric Grip will cost alot too when in mage stance.
Their is actually another way to level yourself up quickly, well not as quick as that but if you cast soultrap on a dead body over and over again it will count towards increasing your skill, in about 30 minutes you can get from 15 to 100 and then you can reset and do this over and over until you reach a level you are satisfied with, personally Im not going anywhere over level 200I will do some experiments of my own when I get my new character levelled up enough to do so.(I will always hate the devs for taking out the Oghma Infinium glitch)
they can still be staggered but only for a second they can not be sent hurling across the room by unrelenting force, that is what I meant or the werewolves knockback abilityI didn't think the Vampire Lord's could be staggered, as someone said they were immune to pushback.

They don't kill me. As long as you have the right perks and are of a level where, as a person you would have been able to defeat either of them, the sheer speed of a sprint attack from a were can easily take down either a briarheart or a giant. A mammoth on the other hand... but then, dems is sum good eatin!where that forworn briarheart or giant would kill youWerewolves aren't useless. The extreme maneuverability, increased stamina, large healthpool, and deadly quick attacks make it prefect for most situations, as long as you have the time to transform.Actually upon Transformation a vampire lord gain a 300 armour rating and a werewolf gain 400, yes I know the werewolf is useless, but their is an armour cap and that is about 587 or something which is about an 80% (Do correct that) reduction in melee damage which means that a VL ore Lycantrope would have at least a 40% Armour rating at least and unlike both the Human form and the Werewolf, the vampire lord is immune pushback
That is painfully slow imo. It's much faster to get somewhere enemies can't reach you, and spam cast dual conjuration swords. At least, it is when I do it. I enjoy playing chicken with the giants in the camps around Whiterun when doing this.

Hey! You do that too? I luv messin' with the giants and the mammoths when I'm low level. Hit, run, hit, run, hit, run - stay to the high ground and hit with arrows and spells.

And spam casting muffle as you walk around is the king of power leveling, as far as I'm concerned.
mammoths are wak, I remember a time once before when the vampire lord was no exsistent, I remember having a character that could cut through a mammoth with a single running attack, and that was on the 360 with no modsI circle mammoths and rain down extremely punishing blows on them.

if you do use a bow to hunt mammoth it would be best to use the bound one, you get 100 bound arrows when you cast it, have you ever used all the arrows before the bound bow wore off? I haventHey!

You overestimate a Giant's intelligence. If you get where they can't reach you, they will back off far enough for you to wait an hour.I had never tried the duel casting swords, but you soultrap constantly and when you run out of magicka, you simply wait one hour then repeat, their is an even faster way it is to pickpocket someone then save, then pickpocket them again save and repeat and then you have the alchemy exploit which I hear you can make a single potion with it to get from 15 to 100 within less then a minute
The trouble with that is it won't give you exp until you aggro the mammoth, which makes it poor for powerleveling conjuration imo.if you do use a bow to hunt mammoth it would be best to use the bound one, you get 100 bound arrows when you cast it, have you ever used all the arrows before the bound bow wore off?

Fun fact, I am a vampire lord in my profile pic. Serana was too much for this dragonborn to resist xD

Agree. I'm just not a fan of bound weapons in general (although I will get the bow on my mage). They take far to long to activate. I fight quickly and really can't spare the extra 10 seconds they take to come up and be usable. Frankly, I don't plan my slaughters that far in advance. Although, once you have the perk that extends the time they're active, the bow really does become formidable.if you do use a bow to hunt mammoth it would be best to use the bound one, you get 100 bound arrows when you cast it, have you ever used all the arrows before the bound bow wore off?
