I use poisons that make enemies weak to fire
I have a fire enchanted bow and sword
What I'll do is lure a group into a rune. Then I'll use the rest of my magicka on fireballs. Then I'll use my bow until they are at close range. I seem to deal decent damage with my sword, but I feel like my left hand not holding anything is just a waste. I know torches deal fire damage when you shield bash with them, but is it effective at higher levels? I thought it would be hip and original to incorporate them into my combat.
I guess I'm just asking if shield bashing with torches is effective.
