Conjuration or Companions? : V

Obviously conjuration summons are powerful and recastable, but have some of you passed up Conjuration simply because you can have a meatshield/company from a companion?

conjuration can become extremly useful if you spend the time on its perks being able to necro summon dead enemys and be a great help when you need it (personal i aim for dead mages they become way overpowered) and twins souls lets you summon 2 at once which is great but i do always have a companion to i just wish they didnt block the only door out of a room :facepalm:

How about having both? I'm an assassin and I'm taking up Conjuration for the simple fact that if I dont kill my foe in 1 shot, I quicky summon.

Just give Lydia the staff of conjugation and you have both. Every fight she casts a storm antriarch and all 3 of you kick but

Well I figured assassins wouldn't want to travel with companions because they defeat the whole purpose of stealthing, no? Don't they give away your position or mess you up at times?

I choose the "Both" option. I don't see a reason to limit myself. It took me a while to get the spell-casting down so I feel comfortable with it and now I'm ready to try them all. Lydia has the Staff of Sparks and The Caller is no more.....

I can re-summon a summoned creature if they die. A companion is dead for good.

Plus:

Spoiler

Until you have summoned a Dremora Lord you don't know what a bad ass companion is.

Conjuration is one of my major skills and i love it. i just need to find some awesome spells. the ability to raise an enemy for your cause is awesome, and it saved me once

I use both. If my companion dies, I can just bring him back as a zombie

This.

Can't wait to be able to summon double atronarchs. I'm currently daydreaming of epic dragon fights with me and my two fire atronarchs high on a mountain plateau throwing our fireballs at the beast while there's epic music in the background.

Neither, I like traveling alone and fighting my own battles. :toughninja:

Playng with a Mage, Summon. Because it doesnt matter if they live or die, i dont want a companion dieing for me or talking my ear off. Zombies are a socialable as i want in the field .

Some companions conjure without a staff.

Why not use conjuration with a companion that uses conjuration?

Doesn't it just become a cluster_____ at that point?

Looks like summons won it out!
