    Adrik how do you deal with wild life early on? I find I have a hard time surviving against Sabre cats and such if I level too quickly and I usually do as a Mage.

    Ok, I just looked this up, sabre cats, normal and veil are lvl 6, so calmable with calm

    (no perks) for the snow variant... RUN! Hes lvl 12... Basterd.

    Give's some more lvl's do. A wel, thats nice in my opinion.

    Bear are the worst, they seem faster than saber cats due to their pounce move. I've lost 6 DiD characters that way

    Usually I play @ adept but even at that difficulty I find sabre cats and bears way OP early on. That and I start to panic when they knock about 3/4 my health in one power attack hit. Dragons don't scare me at all but Wildlife and Mages just scare me to death at times.

    I did finally started your Telvanni Build Adrik. Gonna be heading to the College later on tonight to start getting the Arch-Mage robes and such till I get the Telvanni Robes and Miraak's Robes. Also will be useful to get my Dunmer Mage follower from the college who will become my wife. Be nice to get a Staff of Storm Antronach also while I'm low level from the forge.

    Was curious was doing some testing on my Level 80 Nord and it is strange that Miraak's boots don't count against Mage Armor where Miraak's gloves do. Must've been a oversight on their part.

    Its is a bug like many things in bethesda games. It is in their contract to have bugs.

    Finally got done with the College. What is it with that place? Best place for a Mage but all the quests they throw u up against have resistant to magic enemies. Talk about a nightmare going through Mzulft and Labyrinthian at a lower level.

    Been enjoying having Brelyna as a follower as she adds more spells as well as another summoning. Also it has been refreshing to be a Shock mage as I've done too many fire/ice ones. Kinda curious if you have any trouble with ash piles from disintegrate or how you gather souls from dragons once you have disintegrate.

    Kinda conflicted on the Dawnguard Questline. One I don't think being a Vampire would be good rp-ing for a Telvanni. But on the other hand I can't ignore the perks of being one. Such as the ring of erudite.

    How did you handle the Ash Spawns and enemies in Solstheim? They have tons of health and my magicka gets depleted too quickly. Course I check out the place around level 15 but still they have like 400+ health.

    The Staff of Magnus is nice but I seem to have a hard time aiming it correctly. Any tips on that staff? I'll enjoy getting Miraak's when I can do Solstheim. As I played with that on my level 80 warrior and found it nice.

    Almost feel I should have you add a Slow Time Combo like you did in your Celestial Warlock. I find even the tier 1 word of that useful when I need some breathing room with my mage.

    How do you maintain 100% absorb without miraaks robes? You put telvanni robes in endgame gear section yet Miraaks robes are required to hold 100% absorb.

    You're not supossed to have a 100% absorption all the time, just when you really need it.
