Hey guys

This is a short one, do you guys see any practical use for the special effect of the aetherius shield?

Antronach stone+ antronach perk... I don't remember the last time I healed against mages, even on master... or the last time I could cast a proper summon spell. It took me like 20 quests per word of soul tear, as summon durnhevir acts as a conjuration spell.

Have you tried this? That's the only thing that I would think would make this worthwhile. If you could do the running shield bash and just barrell through people while turning them ethereal, now that would be pretty cool. But I took the crown because I thought there really wouldn't be many cases that I would use the shield in. In all honesty I'm not going to use the crown either and the staff is really worthless. But that's beside the point. Can someone confirm if the running shield bash turns people ethereal?

I chose the shield over the crown and staff, it's kind of the "i'm outta here" shield. Turn them into ghosts and get the hell out of there. But then again that never happens to me so I guess it's useless. It's pretty though.

Useful for pure mages I guess if your out of mana potions. Bash em while you regenerate.

I read on another thread that you can go back to the soul cairn and get serana's mother and bring her back to the castle and she'll upgrade some more stuff around the castle.

I thought they charged 1600 ms points because of the strongholds doubling as house dlc. Since they svck wtf are we paying for? Hardly anything is new. New items are just reskinned textures. Nothing good added for mages except 1 ring ect. 1600 ms points for a fan mod basically.

Because light shields make for a better ale coaster. Thats what I would use this dlc for if it was on a disc. This is amature work with a big budget.
