Using always the same shout : V - Skyrim

» Tue Dec 13, 2011 8:57 am

Main: Unrelenting Force

Secondary: Elemental Fury

Support: Whirlwind Sprint

I rarely use any others despite having Dismay, Frost Breath, Fire Breath, Ice Form, Disarm, Storm Call, Marked for Death, The Stupid Animal Duo, etc.

I want to love Storm Call, I even named my character after it originally, intending to use it (Hrothgar Stormbrandt)... but its got such a bloody long cool down and hits allies. On top of that (but not surprisingly) it doesn't work indoors, and since most combat happens indoors in this game, Storm Call's utility is axed.

I do use fire breath to set oil puddles on fire inside dungeons.

Heh I could never find a use for that one (Unrelenting Force). I seem to always rely on either whirlwind or ethereal form if I'm desperate. I play an archer though so maybe that's why.

With all three words you can send mobs flying off cliffs/walls/ledges to their doom great fun.

I seem to be using it the most as well.

I haven't found very many shouts yet (working on it) but I love Whirlwind Spring. Particularly fun for those Wile E. Coyote moments when I've run off a mountain.

Shouts are so useful and I always have 3-4 extra souls to burn when I find a new one. I lost one last night when the dragon I killed in midair proceeded to fly away (backwards.)

As a stealthy mage type, Throw Voice is highly useful. I *hate* that red dots show up on the compass--but I don't want to disable the compass entirely.

Aura Whisper - Just got it last night. Very nice.

Fus Ro Dah - Versatile, but occasionally countered by mages. Useful for that extra breather, especially for critters that don't get stunned for very long.

Frosty voice - Meh, nice additional DPS and slow effect, I guess.

Cold form - Long cooldown but occasionally that long breather is useful.

Disarm - I'm just learning the joys of this useful tool.

Slow Time - haven't needed it, yet

Whirlwind Sprint - Off the top of the Archmage tower into the water. (:

The game says my most used shout is Aura Whisper.

Hm..

The best is blowing people off a cliff and then picking them off as they run back up. They SHOULD be dead, but falling damage seems to be non-existent on NPC's

Throw Voice. Throw Voice all day every day.

Everybody is troll bait, everybody is skeever butt. :lol:

Hey, melon nose!

I love Throw Voice. Very nice shout, use it all the time on my assassin.

Storm Call destroys people outdoors. Whirlwind Sprint is necessary to reach some places, Fire/Frost are good, etc.

Whirlwind sprint is good for bypassing swinging blade traps.

Whirlwind sprint is nice indeed, but I hate that I always forget to switch back to unrelenting and send myself flying of a cliff instead of my foes.

I keep forgetting to use the shouts and it's difficult to keep track of all the shortcut keys. The keys don't repond that well either. I often have to press them more than once for some functions, even in menus.

I'd love to use a more diverse variety of shouts, but honestly, the interface won't let me. My short list is already an encyclopedia instead, and I still have 2/3 of a keyboard remaining to assign stuff to. Find the mistake.

PC problem. :rofl:

With all three words you can send mobs flying off cliffs/walls/ledges to their doom great fun.

Valtheim Towers is a good example. You can shout the archers off the bridge and die of the fall :lmao:

Oh, an Whirlwind Sprint is handy in closing in to an archer or mage when there no cover.

This. Made me laugh well done.
