Question
I keep running into encounters where the spell casters kill me. In particular frost spells seem to be the worst. It's not fun getting 1-shot from 300 hp by a spell. I haven't done anything to protect myself against spells, compared to the herculean efforts I put into armor. What should I do?
Answer
There are several methods to increase your resistance against those attacks. You can increase your magic resistance, which works against all kinds of spells, and you can increase specific elemental resistances.
The following ways can be used to increase those resistances:
- Enchanting your armor with magic or elemental resistances
- Using potions of magic or elemental resistances
- Up to 30% magic resistance from perks in the Alteration skill tree
- The Lords Stone, grants 25% magic resistance
- 15% magic resistance from finishing the quest The book of love
- Some starting races have elemental or magic resistances (e.g. Nords have 50% frost resistance)
Having conjured minions or other followers can also help to divert the attention of the spellcasters and give you the time you need to neutralize them.
