Using always the same shout : V

» Tue Dec 13, 2011 8:33 am

I have quite a number of shouts already: frost breath, fire breath, the one that calms creatures, the one that clear the skies, the Flash one and the one that reduces armor. But I find myself constantly using only the good old fus ro dah.

Even though it has a fairly long cool down (45 seconds after using the three words) it is a very good crowd control and I usually only have to use it once during a hairy fight to give me time to heal/buff myself.

What other shouts do you think is useful and in what situations?

Ethereal is awesome to use as well. Especially as a mage.

If you're a mage or archer, use the Slow Time shout and cackle as you unleash a hurricane of shots in the time it takes for your opponents to make a single step.

the one that spees up attacks...especially if you have the dual wield speed increase talent already....just turns you into a whirring ball of metallic death

I've been spamming Ice Form ever since I got it.

Those deathlords thought they were soooo smart with their cute little disarm chant...

"What good is a disarm shout, Mr Deathlord... If.... .. you are unable to.. speak..."

ice form is definitely great for archer + mages. I'm an archer mage and find myself using that most frequently. But I also use the assassin shout on single bosses, detect life spell is useful in dungeons, and whirlwind sprint is useful when suddenly swamped by enemies.

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 usually found Unrelenting Force, Ice Form and Slow time very useful.
Animal alliance is kinda fun...attacking a bandit camp with 1 Mammoth, 2 Sabre cats and 2 mudcrabs is fuuuuunnn lol

Aura whisper, throw voice, ice form, marked for death, elemental fury, slow time and occasionally unrelenting force.

» Tue Dec 13, 2011 8:58 am

I tend to stick with lower health/armor and unrelenting force.

Quick question about this one. I have the word for it but havnt put a soul into it yet. So, does it work in caves? And how long does it take for the animals to appear after you shout?

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.

I might be wrong but I think the animals don't appear. You just shout at them and they become your allies for a period of time.

UF is great for crowd control when it's maxed out.

It's basically a very unpolite way to say "Excuse me, I need some room".

You know, I never thought of it that way... gonna have to give it more playtime. I like that logic, less effort on my part trying to create space lol.

I usually use either the detect life shout or flame breath with the buff from the graybeard leader.

There's a couple useful ones: Slow Time, if you play a ranged class; Marked for Death, lower's enemy armor basically makes them weaker; Disarm is another useful one if you are fragile... Fus-Do-Rah is probably the most fun one to use, sending enemies flying away doesn't get old, so just use what you prefer. I haven't found myself relying on them too much.

» Tue Dec 13, 2011 1:38 am

I've just started using Dismay for crowd control as I have no Illusion spells of any note. It works really well and can affect a pretty large group. It's my current favourite shout.

» Tue Dec 13, 2011 4:01 am

As a sneaking archer I find myself spamming Aura Whisper. It's great for keeping track of enemies (and spotting Draugr in coffins).

» Tue Dec 13, 2011 10:37 am

Throw Voice. Throw Voice all day every day.

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

» Tue Dec 13, 2011 8:45 am

Slow Time.

To be quite honest, I find the shouts Overpowered so I try to use them the least I can

The only time I break the rules is when I meet a particulary annoying frost mage.

THOSE BASTARDS JUST MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL! RAWRG!

» Mon Dec 12, 2011 10:01 pm

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.

Marked for Death is my favorite. It makes any boss fight much easier and is perfect for dragons.

» Tue Dec 13, 2011 11:37 am

Mostly Unrelenting Force, but also Elemental Fury and the Breath attacks have proven useful. Tried Storm Call yesterday, and it did kill many Stormcloaks (the irony :lmao:), but the cooldown is murder (8 minutes with two words :blink:) and it causes damage to friendlies.

Also Marked for Death, even with just two words helps against though enemies that don't do extreme damage. That is, not Bandit Marauders :lmao:

» Tue Dec 13, 2011 5:52 am

Elemental Fury FTW! :toughninja:

The only reason to carry an unenchanted weapon.
