I like using shock as a destruction mage. I like how the kill cam makes it look like a badass harry potter action or something. But I also like how to bring things back from the dead after I kill them, but with this annoying disintigerate perk, I sometimes can't and well, it really pisses me off. Sure I can use calm and frenzy the enemies and stuff, but in the end of that whole thing the strongest of the group would remain the winner, and thats basically who I would want to reincarnate. Yeah, I could summon dremorea lords and get them to kill the thing that I want, but sometimes I just simply want to zap'em and be done with it.

Will there possibly be a... nevermind, I know the answer, you can't just turn off a perk.

...pointless thread lol, but please, lets see what you guys think

why the [censored] did u pick that perk then?

For those you wish to reanimate finish with fire or frost. Personally I've found disintegrate rarely disintegrates if the foe goes from 20% to dead a body is left behind so long as the kill cam wasn't initiated.

PC or xbox/ps3 user?

If PC, open the console and type:
removeperk 000f3f0e

I also hate that I chose that perk. Using Lightning Storm makes your opponents fly off the ground when they die. The thing is, they turn to ash in the middle of the air and I can't search them. svcks when I need to get an item off of them for a quest.

I have 2 perks just chillin in my little skyrim bank, I COULD just go to fire and use fire all the time but like, should I save those perks for dawnguard or nah?

Yeah, I'm thinking I should just go full on fire, like im a fan of the whole evil mage [censored]

There is also a problem if you have the freeze perk and try to reanimate enemies killed with this, the freeze effect seriously affecting your thralls.

I never chose those last 3 elemental perks because they sounded like they would be major pains. I'm glad that i did not choose them.

The new perks from Dawnguard aren't acquired like regular perks so there really isn't anything to save for.

I only chose that perk once and never again. Dragons kept disappearing after the fight and no soul, no bones, no ash pile, no nothing. I learned my lesson. They said disintegrate and they meant disintegrate.

So like fire it is then? Ice won't be that big of a deal with the whole paralyze thing since I can already paralyze peeps you know?

So maybe we need "reconstruct your future thrall (who was under the effect of weak spell before - either of yours or a e.g Necromancer ) from ashes" MASTER SPELL:D

It's not Lore breaking, it shows instead how powerfull Necromage you are now to relocate the very molecules of that body back into their places, in order to resurrect it.

BETHESDA ADD IT NAO!

I would strongly recommend you not pick any of them, on paper, the disintegrate one is the strongest of the three because figuratively it means all enemies have 10% less life if you use a shock spell; but if it causes issues I agree it is not worth it.

I use Intense Flames, the fire one that makes enemies flee, and 99% of the time it never activates, and when it does it does nothing of value. With humanoid enemies they are already crouching on the floor in the near death animation at that point, so the flee doesn't kick in and the only one of the few times it has ever kicked in on monstrous enemies I distinctly remember was on a troll who ran away super fast so I couldn't even get to it to finish it off. It was incredibly annoying and I ended up pulling three more trolls because of it, this was in Labyrinthian.

I've never used the frost one, but I heard it is equally useless because again, humanoid enemies will likely already be in the crouched animation by the time they reach as low as 10%, which means they are close to effectively paralyzed anyway.

The only perks that are worth putting points into in the Destruction tree in general in my opinion are Augmented Flames (2/2), Augmented Frost (2/2), Augmented Shock (2/2), Destruction Dual Casting and Impact in any combination, you will also obviously need Novice Destruction just to qualify. Every other perk is a waste in my opinion unless you never use Enchanting and never use enchanted quipment (including stock pre-enchanted) for RP reasons.

No i never pick it either, did it once and was not impressed *understatement*.
