I noticed in 2013 there was a bit of a Dragon Shout competition and I couldn’t help but wonder has anyone’s perspectives changed on the available shouts in game.
If you could form your own shouts for either In Game, RP, or even to use in a story, what shouts would you have?
Personally I would have three new shouts:
Wolf Aspect Sacred Grove Dragon Heal
Jusk Iisk Grohiik Rum Fuhil Lahniv Vrii Qeth Vokren
Claw Fang Wolf Root Leaf Thrive Scale Bone Mend
Wolf aspect would increase the speed and power of your werewolf form for 30 seconds and cause an instant change to your werewolf form.
Sacred Grove would be a passive shout enabling crops to grow within seconds, or a tree or even vines which could entrap an enemy, even a dragon pinning it in place for several seconds. Enough for you to implement an escape.
Dragon Heal would be for using on a friendly dragon. It would work by drawing some of your health and transferring it to the dragon which you shouted at. The effect would be the same as when you absorb a dragon except it would be reversed (And red coloured).
What shouts would you create if you could?
I'd change Whirlwind Sprint, I've always found that shout almost useless and the cooldown is stupidly long for what it does.
Instead of the current 'thrust' that is so hard to control and pinpoint I'd change it to a time based speed boost instead...
1 Word: 20% Increase in Movement Speed for 10 seconds
2 Words: 30% Increase in Movement Speed for 15 seconds
3 Words: 40% Increase in Movement Speed for 20 seconds
Cooldown around the same as Become Ethereal.
Let's see, I honestly loved Miraak's shout, where he absorbs the lifeforce of a dragon, it may be a bit Op to have yourself but I would have loved to use that on Alduin.
But hmm...
Call Warlord:
Sulekh Morokei Konahrik = Powerful Glorious Warlord
Blade of Auri-el:
Pah Werid Shul = Everyone Praise the Sun
Sacrifice:
Zahrahmiik Daniik Sos = Sacrifice of Doomed Blood
Call Warlord: Call upon Shor himself to aid you in battle, Once he arrives Shor calls upon some of his many avatars, among which you could find Ysgramor and perhaps even Talos.
Blade of Auri-el: Call upon a great godray of doom, destroying any undead in it's path without harming the living.
Sacrifice: When used upon an Undead minion, the minion is destroyed but 50% of it's remaining stats are transfered to you.
On the other side of the scale you could even widen a stream or make it deeper. It would be amusing to fight some bandits in a stream and all of a sudden their half drowning. Especialy if your an Argonian. Or even a bear or Sabre cat fall in a pit where you can just shoot it from above.
I was thinking of a story with something like this, actually. The main idea for it came to me when I thought of a Shout.
Spaan Jaaril Tendrok - Shield Protect Barrier
Lahspaan Jaaril Tendrok - Ward Protect Barrier
So the first one would make a force field of sorts around you that would protect from physical damage, while the second one would make a giant ward bubble that would protect against magic.
Well I think disarm needs to scale with illusion or somethign so it can be used on higher enemies
as for custom shout
Spirit Mend
Kun Vokrii Vahraan
Light Restore Heal
rank1: Heals caster for 70 points
rank2: Heals caster for 120 points and nearby allies for 50
rank 3: heals caster for 170 poinnts and nearby allies for 90
I always thought it would be cool to learn that shout-like poison attack the Afflicted from Peryite's quest know. Here's my interpretation of it:
Breath of Corruption
Slen-Liiv-Krasaar ("Flesh-Wither-Sickness")
1 Word: Does 3 damage per second to the health of one enemy for 30 seconds
2 Words: Does 5 damage per second to the health of one enemy and slows by 50% for 30 seconds
3 Words: Does 7 damage to the health of one enemy and slows by 50% for 30 seconds; if the enemy dies under this effect the poison transfers to any enemy within 15 feet.
Cooldown similar to Fire/Frost Breath
