Oh my god, ever fought a Arch Cryomancer as a melee? It's a frickin' nightmare.
Arch-anything are just completely ridiculous. It took me (100 in destro, alt, conj), Marcurio, his Dremora Markynaz, and my two thralls (Volkihar MASTER Vampire and Forsworn Ravager archer) to kill one Arch Necromancer. I immediately thralled her and checked her stats; 675 health, 500 mana, 55% magic resist, all magic schools except illusion were higher than 85. She is a monster. Ironically, she svcks as a necromancer because the enemies we face are usually too high for her to revive. Incredibly powerful mage, though.
