I just found out that the unique weapon Windshear is essentially glitched. Never thought to use it because I don't like using only one hand but it actually staggers enemies on any hit so can be just as effective with spells/shields.
Wanted to make a build with it... But nothing stood out as fun/fair with that sword.
Yeah I think a spellsword could abuse this greatly to keep enemies out of melee range... But again, it has the unfortunate effect of being easy. Have to be a handicap build or something.
I was just looking at great artifacts recently. You reminded me how awesome Wabbajack is. Definitely a better item for character building.
There have been a few builds that use it. Including at least two or three in Mythic/Legendary. But yeah, it's pretty silly. I don't think there's a handicap out there that can compensate for a weapon that literally makes every enemy in the game unable to harm you. Especially if you pair it with a Staff of Chain Lightning to keep ranged enemies at bay.
Auriel's Bow has disappointingly low amount of charges, which is why it is so underused...
IMO Most of the most underused items are the DLC weapons (Longhammer, Dawnguard weapons etc.) and most of the staffs - I agree, Wabbajack with Targe of the Blooded could be a deadly combo!
Stacking DoT Bleed Damage + Chicken Turn ability....could be extremely fun!
(P.S - I don't know what it is tonight, but everything has been '+' this and '+' that....must have combos on the brain or something! )
The shame is that the collecting dreams mechanic is quite good... And the reward is just mediocre, basic damage. It should have SOMETHING going for it. An additional fear (nightmare) effect... 5% chance to summon a nightmare to help you, like an ice wraith ghost... Something...
