I really hope that in one of the next few patches that the wall spells and Blizzard gets fixed, it could be such a potentially awesome spell, but as a mage that uses alteration with the magic resistance perks and who is a vampire atm, Blizzard is useless. It really is a bummer because otherwise it would be one of my favorite spells to use. I know that not many people like it, even if it wasn't bugged, but I love DoT and AoE attacks. I'd love to be able to drop down a blizzard and then go crazy with a wall spell and an adept AoE spell.

I really wanted to get into the whole vampire mindset and was gonna use frost spells, but with wall of frost being the worst of the three elements, and with blizzard the way it is, it isn't very effective, atleast not any where near as effective as using on of the other elements.

Ah well, I have destruction perked out minus rune master, so it really isn't that bad for this character, but it definitely puts a damper on my idea for a Death Knight who specializes in frost spells.

It just really svcks since Blizzard is such a potentially awesome spell in my opinion, and it being bugged the way it is is just disappointing. Same with the wall spells, I guarantee that if the wall spells worked as stated then no one would say that Destruction was underpowered, no way, no how, if they worked right they would be one of the most dangerous tools in a mage's arsenal. Like I mentioned earlier, just imagine how much damage you would be doing laying down a wall of frost, followed by a blizzard, whilst having a cloak up. Thats a potential 92 damage per second, couple that with some dual-cast ice storms and you would be putting out enough damage to make even the most well smithed weapon blush.Now think of doing that with fire, haha, 10% more damage on top of that. You would be making whole armies drop in seconds, and that's how destruction should be!

ahhh.... A man can dream.

pop a potion with weakness to magicka or frost on it. or even better both. if you have no resistances( or if the pots have a high enough magnitude) you actually wind up INCREASING blizzards damage.

Yea I know, but I'd rather it just be fixed. I have a fortify carry weight potion that has weakness to magicka that I sometimes drink when I use it. The thing is, I think the weakness to magicka from the potion is reduced by magic resistance as well.

I mean, imagine a nord vampire trying to use it.

well, alright, admittedly that would be a problem. but the weakness to magicka pot+ weakness to frost pot+fortify destruction pot should be enough, hypothetically, to get it back to normal, and maybe give it a nice boost. but yes it is a problem that you need all these pots for it to deal any halfway decent amount of damage. however if they patch it so that it no longer resistance checks the player, non vampire/nords will also lose the advantage to using blizzard, where if they have a weakness to frost/magicka, it actually gets more powerful(apprentice stone anyone?). it's a win/loss spell. i just want them to fix it dealing damage to the player.
