I loathe and despise Disarm.

Fear and Calm are also epically useless.
Calm has'nt worked once any of the rare times I used it. It just made them angry.
I tried using a staff of calm on a sleeping Heimskr and he woke up and attacked me.
That's just stupid.

Bound weapons are also useless. You may as well hit them with nothing.
Too weak to fight with, and they're only use is for when there is disarm using enemies about.
Who are so big, they laugh at the summoned weapons, that do no damage to them.
Duel weilded magic is better and hell of a lot more effective.

I'd have to say the wards that NPC's use, their wards dont seem to require magicka, I noticed this, when to counter-mage I started making "damage magicka regen poisons" so they cant use any spells for about 45 seconds after they deplete their magic, but they can still use their ward indefinately? Their wards can block arrows, mine cant. Their Ice spike, going by the everything is leveled formula, can kill me in one hit, my Ice spike, assuming they arent facing me and I bypass their ward and hit them from the side or back, only takes about 1/10 of their health, when double handed.

I may be wrong here, but isn't calm supposed to make NPC's docile after they've become hostile?

I personally hate using a Bound Battle Axe, it is too weak compared to a Bound Sword or Bow. It is too expensive for most Warriors to use, and a Mage is (almost) commiting suicide by wasting the Magicka to cast it.
I hate the Ice Spikes and Disarm Shout. I am glad Disarm becomes useless past level 30.

I hate the Ice Spike spell or Icy Spear because when it is used against me I might as well just lay down and die, but when I use it, it is completely useless.

Elemental Fury is a epically useless Shout.

It only works on none enchanted weapons. And how many of those are there going to be in your inventory after a point?
None, usually.
So it's useless for any of the good weapons.
It's not like it's that great when you can use it. You go a bit faster, and that's it.
I never use it.

Slow Time is feeble.
I hit it by accident once or twice, and I barely noticed the slowmo.
I was expecting F.E.A.R style slowmo, epically killing everything in sight while they can't fight back. And got time going a bit slower, but the fighting not being that much better.
Slow time is'nt meant to slow YOU down!
I actually think it lagged the game. She froze, and could'nt do anything one time.
I had to reload.

Slow time isn't meant to make you move super fast, it is meant to make time seem slow to you so that you have super reflexes. The shout is about useless, but the archery slow time perk is VERY useful for lining up an arrow.
I've actually had animal allegiance save my life a few times at lower levels, and the bound weapon spells are very useful in certain quests where your gear is taken away. Bound sword < deadric sword, but a bound sword > shiv.

Worst shout to get hit by: disarm.

Worst shout to use: probably elemental fury. The fire and ice breath spells also svck. Note I'm not talking about ice form, that is the best shout ever.

Worst spell to use: ok it is strictly amazing for leveling alteration and restoration, but for combat purposes... equilibrium. Am I really going to stop casting spells to drain my very limited health so I can cast one more spell.... instead of just using a restore magicka potion?

Worst spell to get hit by: recurring theme here... ice spikes. Even for my mage they svck, make it harder to dodge the next spell.
