Falmer, chaurus and enemy mages who like shock spells and fireball.

My Nord warrior is a tank and can handle anything else without too much trouble. It's the dungeons full of mages that give him difficulty, and the Falmor seem to be more durable than most enemy types, and use poison, along with the chaurus.

I'm kinda new, so cut me some slack, but every single time (twice :)) I face one of those deadly priests (who drop the priest masks) I tempt to use what ever environmental benefit.. I'm an archer at lvl 23, so I to succeed against an opponent with much health and deadly damage, I have to distance my self to get some shots. And then, hopefully, I can find a tree or a pillar to take some of the fire/frost/shock bolts :)

Is that just wussy or?

I dont think its wussy because ive seen some of my Npc followers in sneak mode doing exact same thing. Why stand and take the damage when you can find cover? Sometimes its the only way to survive. I fought a dragon priest with Marcurio and i noticed he was in sneak mode ducking in and out from behind a pillar firing spells when he had the oppurtunity

Not very durable actually,they just do a ton of damage,especially when they team up.And yeah,chaurus poison is a killer.

This one has not many enemies, those that were are long gone. The wilds are tame in comparison to Elsweyr, here every creature is friendly, or persuadable, yes?

Khajiit thinks that this one has not experienced much of the outdoors of Skyrim. Does this Khajiit only stay in the cities of Skyrim ... or keep company in numbers of Khajiit caravans when traveling? Has Khajiit fought non-persuadable Dragons and other horrible creatures in the soaking rains of the Rift? These same rains do not exist in Elsweyr ... yet make it easy for weapons to slip mid-swing and give Khajiit uncomfortable matted fur.

Yes, me recommends for Khajiit to experience Skyrim a bit more or turn up the difficulty slider ...

I've always found the frost troll on the way up the step as a lowbie to be one of the more difficult battles.

My stealth character: briar hearts if I don't get the jump on them, then high level vampires because they are so hard to sneak up on then spam ice spells.

Warrior: dragons, he is not so good with the bow. High level mages and mage vampires, again... spamming ice spells.

Mage: Well just survived one of the hardest fights ever. A named dragon priest, with 6-7 deathlords in the same room. My dual dremora lords died in seconds. Luckily caught a few deathlords in an ice form shout to buy time. Pulled them all into a wide tunnel where I could easily stun lock one after the other but the priest was absorbing everything I cast... AND he kept casting raise dead on the deathlords I had already killed. I then switched to thunderbolt in hopes that enemies would disintegrate so he could not bring them back. Took forever, once the deathlords were down me and the priest got in a magic flinging contest and we both had high spell absorption so that went on for some time. Mage has high absorption so other mages and dragons tend to be very easy, but that many high level enemies is another story. Playing DID and level 66 so VERY happy he survived that battle by the skin of his teeth.

Chaurus, they really surprised me how fast they killed me with their poison attacks
Same goes for those dual wielding forsworn people.
Mages too , until I enchanted some magic resist thing and their flames began to tickle me.

Giants for sure. There is no way I can kill them without a ranged weapon
I got one shot by giant at level fifty two. I have not taken them lightly sense.

In my modded playthrough that has everybody dealing 3x damage my 2h warrior fears dragons and wizards the most. Archers are deadly but it is easy to dodge their arrows. Wizards are just OP. And dragon breath is crazy when it does 3x damage.

I think it is kind of lame how dragon breath and mages go from super deadly to shrugged off once you find boots of 50% element resist. Or shield if you are not a 2hand user. My highest level character is only 35 and he has around 3 or 4 items of 50% elemental resistance. I think they should be far more rare and perhaps even not go up to 50%.
