What is your most useful shout and why? : V

For me it is Become Ethereal. It has so many uses such as...

- Jumping from heights without dying
- Avoiding traps
- Closing the distance to melee with mages and archers without being damaged
- Casting frenzy, conjure storm atronachs, lightning cloak then becoming ethereal and floating around watching the mayhem
- An escape fromm any situation that lets you avoiud damage and regenerate magicka/health/stamina at non combat rates
- Sprinting without using stamina.

It is hard to think of a much more versatile perk. It recharrgtes quickly also. If anybody has other cool uses for Become Ethereal please let me know. Thanks.

Becoming temporary invoulnerable is indeed very useful, both in and outside of combat. After that one I would say Unrelenting Force, it is very strong if used correctly.

I use Clear Skies for stun locking. The cool down is 4, and it has the same power as the first two words of Unrelenting Force. Well, maybe not, but it still stuns them!

I think that slow time is useful. Because you can avoid being killed and you can get more hits on the enemy.

I use slow time it gives me time to use my master spells.

Become ethereal is better for that. Also I like good ole fus ro dah

It can be used for both defense and offense and is just awesome.

Dragonrend, to bring those flying lizards down to my level.

Ice Form, saved my butt many times.

If you can't beat em, Freeze em!

Or When in Doubt, time to Shout.

Marked For Death, and Become Ethereal and Elemental Fury.

Edit: Soul Tear is also pretty useful. especially for necromancers.

Become Ethereal doesn't work with Master spells, it doesn't even cast it when you let go of the trigger and just gets rid of your Ethereal

at least it does that with Blizzard for me, so Slow time for that.

Marked for Death, reduces the amounts of swinging it takes to kill an enemy :hehe:

» Sat Jul 21, 2012 5:50 am

marked for death. any target hit with it will take WAY more damage. if you hit it with it again it will even make high level dragons 2-3 hits to kill

Slow time and 20+ fireballs is pretty handy also drain vitality is deadly.

Most useful is really subjective on the situation. My most used one is Become Ethereal, though. I don't like dealing with the long way down from somewhere, so I just jump.

» Sat Jul 21, 2012 8:35 pm

Agreed

Personal favorite: Aura Whisper = Detect life/Long range. Excellent for my archer build..pick off enemies before they even knew you were there.

Drain Vitality. Mages don't stand a chance. Especially those God forsaken ICE MAGES! Daedra take them.

» Sat Jul 21, 2012 11:37 am

I don't often use shouts :/ And I keep trying to make a game where I get them all, but I can't stick with a character long enough. ><

» Sat Jul 21, 2012 6:58 am

I'm stuck between Unrelenting force and Fire breath. Unrelenting force gives you some breathing room if you're low on health, so you can kill the enemy before the strike you again. Plus, knocking people off cliffs is fun :smile:

Fire breath is also really helpful, since it can do a crapload of damage once you learn the 2nd to 3rd word in it.

» Sat Jul 21, 2012 7:38 pm

none. the shouts are just stupid flashy gimicks.

» Sat Jul 21, 2012 11:20 am

Marked for Death. It eases my burdens on the "oh crap I screwed the pooch and alerted a whole camp of forsworn" or "Oh crap, a dragon"

» Sat Jul 21, 2012 4:37 pm

Unrelenting Force, just for taking down anything when Im on a hill. Marked for death, because its bloody good for harder enemies when you are at lower levels. Other than those I barely use shouts because the recharge times are way way to long and it makes them rather pointless most times.

» Sat Jul 21, 2012 7:26 am

What level are you since at high levels the damage it does is trash even with all 3 words. For me it's Become Ethereal and Slow Time since you can get 10+ free hits easy.

» Sat Jul 21, 2012 10:27 am

Unmodded?

Unrelenting Force.

However, I made a mod that makes some of the less powerful Shouts actually worth something, so I like to get use out of Disarm, Frost/Fire Breath and a couple others now.

I avoid enchanting my weapons purely so i can use Elemental Fury. In my head my character can be like The Flash in terms of combat.
