😂i never played a restoration build in the whole decade that skyrim has been out for so i just assumed fast healing was the highest level healing spell in the game because the other spells never spawned because of my low restoration level
One important point to note...believe it or not level caps are overrated they do matter for non mage followers but for mages what matters is spells and that isn't affected by levels...so while serana can cast ice storm and chain lightning teldryn casts firebolt (also revenant versus flame atronach is no brainer) to explain more take Jzargo for example...no level cap but he spams sparks like an idiot levels don't increase damage for spells so he is basically useless whereas talvas who has one of the lowest level caps of 25 casts ice storms and fireballs like a maniac and uses armor spells and summons which Jzargo doesn't another factor is perks...Jzargo has no perks even though he could be freaking level 150 but talvas,serana and even other mages in the college have very nice perks for what they do so please please please as a professional skyrim content creator whom I respect and watch his videos as soon as they come out don't make this common mistake of only looking at level caps for followers people who watch your videos might get misguided by hearing those
Totally agreed. Personally I like to use commands to break their level cap but that's unrelated. Weirdly enough, I've only seen Serana use Ice Storm after I broke her limit; before that she only used Ice Spikes, but maybe that's just me (She's a heck of a buggy NPC after all).
@altabalder she starts casting chain lightning and ice storm from level 48(and is capped at level 50) she also has one rank augment Frost perk which makes her ice storm hit harder she also has necromancy (not dark souls unfortunately) and some one handed and light armor perks In my opinion her two most annoying things are that first off she might turn someone you want to make a dead thrall of turn into Ash and second she weakens your vampire lord drain spell SIGNIFICANTLY (you can fix the latter by the unofficial patch) One more thing that I forgot to mention are follower races teldryn and talvas have fire resistance for example and nords have Frost resistance (serana is immune to Frost because she is also a vampire and even when cured she has one rank magic resist which still amounts to lots of Frost resistance)
@@alirafati9340 From my experience, I was around level 80+ when I tried breaking her level for the first time. She only used Ice Spikes before, I'm sure of it. But yea the Vampiric Drain thingy is rly bad; it made me think Vampire Lord was garbage for a long time because I always had her as a follower.
@TypicalPirate55 you're right serana and other vampire allies including thrall tend to close the distance because of their AI trying to force them into using the drain spell but the higher her level the less she gets up close and personal specially if you,your summons or her summons keep the enemies at bay...but as a vampire class she Also is good in melee she's slightly worse then teldryn in close range battles because teldryn has awesome one handed perks but she is more durable because of the constant heals (she is NOT my favourite follower not because she's bad but there's just plenty of better options) all I wanted to say was that just because her cap is 10 lower than teldryn doesn't mean she's weaker (talvas is level 25 and is better than both of them without any doubt for example) I keep coming back to the J'zargo example but there's just no better examples there XD he is useless and I fight anyone over this fact lmao
Apperently circle of protection has a hidden feature that makes it nearly broken. The circle is a source of magicka that's seen as offensive magicka, even if it affects only certain level capped undead. Now with that being an offensive spell that typically doesn't harm you the player, it can act as an amzing magicka battery if you have some levels of magicka absorbtion. Like with the atronach perk for example. That circle with the right build acts as a limitless supply of magicka.
@TypicalPirate55 it's not a bug more an unintended interaction. Evening involved is working exactly as intended. A bug would mean there was some error in a process' execution
Healing Spells are very good for tanky One-Handed/HeavyArmor combos because with certain perks they will also heal your stamina which you need for heavy attacks. With the right entchantments you can basically achieve unlimited heavy attacks especially with the health/stamina healing combo
I believe Repel Lesser Undead is in the top five in the restoration tree. However, it's not for its intended use. Restoration is notoriously hard to level and takes ages to get anywhere meaningful. RLU gives an insane amount of experience and hits many targets as well as not costing an insane amount of Magicka. Once you can cast the spell once go find some draugr and cast it on all of them. Wait for them to run into a corner and wait an hour as you are not in combat if they are feared for some reason. Then repeat. It gets easy when they bunch up in a corner and you will level very fast. You also gain the xp if its on a target you conjured
Alright first off great video i always enjoy your content Now let me add some things to what youve already mentioned...someone did mention the absorb glitch i wont say that gain but heres another tip...unlike illusion,dual casting doesnt affect the level caps for restoration spells but there is a single exception which is circle of potection allowing it to affect even high level undead...another things that does affect it is the necromage perk which you can use to affect higher level undead. Second tip,bane of undead is one of the two master spells that can be dual casted (ikr) the animation doesnt change but you use up 2.8 times the magicka for a 2.2 times strength(still wont affect higher levels see my first tip) Third tip: for cloak spells including the destruction ones the magnitude doesnt affect the damage but the range (wont change the visuals) dual casting and potions and other fortify restoration affects (not enchants except a few exceptions) increase magnitude and therefore increase the range so makes them viable for mages. Finally my last tip: there is one instance when lesser ward is better than higher level ones and thats versus dragons,you see dragons breath deals damage in lots of very low damaged ticks. The stronger the dragon the faster the ticks but ticks are still minimal damage each...how wards work is that when they take a hit they lose some hp which starts to regenerate fast since the ticks of dragon breath deal very little damage each the shield heals back up completely before the next tick and you can stand the strongest dragon's breath by only using lesser ward :)))
True, but that gets countered easily when you get Dragonrend, forcing dragons to land and bashing when they are about to use a breath attack on the player.
@@jaccrozbonezyou lose 1/4 of your hp only to be immediately put on the wrong end of a killcam just because ancient dragon wanted a nibble. The secret is to attack from the sides or rear but sooner or later that dragon’s gonna turn around and get you or worse your follower
The idea behind poison being in the Restoration school isn't related to the Undead. It plays off the idea that too much medicine is poison. So it's like an overdose of restoration.
@theantil7 Well I wouldn't stretch it that far, Destruction seems to be based more on fundamental forces/energies/temperatures in the elder scrolls universe. The argument of death magic could be more easily argued to be attributed to certain restoration/conjugation spells imo.
I definitely forgot about that! I still think that you are better off just raising a new dead body instead of healing them. Not sure about the math on that one though
@@TypicalPirate55 Casting it on an undead thrall is alot faster than the long cast animation of undead thrall when the thing dies. In vanilla it's mostly just a roleplay thing tho cause if we're being honest, am enchanted dagger coated with poison or sharpened is probably more effective than most Mage trees
Something that I feel is very overlooked for two handed weapon (or non-mage centric) gameplay is the power in the restoration skill branch that also restores stamina when casting healing. Makes killing dragons a breeze and damn near eliminates the need for stamina potions outside of desperate situations when you cant find a pause in a fight. Plus when you get the upgrade for faster healing time when double casting makes a seriously broken combo where you can just constantly power attack with 100 dmg+ weapons
Healing undead is good for another reason: one of the most broken spells in the game, Dead Thrall. Means you can heal your undead, although you can just raise them back again if they die
Most people are probably not going to see this comment but. Something I like to do when I play is equip the standars Aura and invisibility spells. Cast invisibility standars aura, when invisibility again. To get a cool glowing crystal effect
I was always a restoration fan from my first playthrough. I’d always have a restoration spell in my left hand and a one handed in my right hand. I always thought, why be willing to take a little damage on a block when I can replenish that damage instantly? Never really used the turn undead type spells because of the very reasons pointed out in this video but restoration deserves more recognition
Undead healing spells are for undead thralls and Healing Hands are to be used like Flame, it's a status for a small time period, so just rapidly click it to apply more layers of effect for less magicka cost, all the turn undead spells deserve be at bottom, a spell that drain so much magicka but deals no damage.
I think circle of perfection should be put higher on the list because it works really well with the perks of the alteration tree, if you use it with the, Atranoc peak, it gives you magic regeneration while standing in it almost giving you double the magic
Don't forget the active effects sailor's repose (healing spell heals 10% more), with the perk Apprentice restoration and Regeneration, the fast healing at the beginning heal 50hp for 73 magicka, after the active effects and the 2 perks, that spell heals 82,5 hp, for 36,5magicka, that is pretty good, if you dual cast it, for 1 dual-cast you heal 165hp, for 73 magicka.
I feel like you’re sleeping on poison rune. Spamming it at someone’s feet is the easiest win and the only catch is making sure Lydia doesn’t hug the guy you’re poisoning
The main use of the undeal heal and necromantic healing in my mind, has always been the use of the wrathman. They are an undead equivalent to the daedric summons, Wrathman have more HP and a slightly better weapon, but deal less base damage, and have no enchantment on their weapon. However, unlike the daedra that can't be healed at all, wrathman can constantly be healed to use as a barrier between you and your foes. In contrast, Daedra summons have higher weappn skills and a 25 damage fire enchantment. They do about 50% more damage, but have about 65% as much health as the wrathman. And absolutely nothing can heal them, meaning when you resummon the daedra you can get bpc aggro.
You can also be a vampire with the necromage perk and it will regenerate magika. Works well during the day when you have low magika regen penalty in the sun.
@@TypicalPirate55yesn't. It's direct consequence of absorption working on everything cast upon you, including your own spells. It's up to you to decide if it's valid feature or not.
The turn undead spells are great for leveling restoration even at higher levels you can find lower level enemies from time to time. Circle of protection is completely busted as it regenerates your magic if you have spell absorption. i forget if you need to be a vampire for it to work or not as I almost always play mages as a vampire for the illusion buff and the ring of erudite.
Ya, I agree with you about Bane of the Undead. The only time I use it is in the final battle against the Volkihar clan. I just want to make sure all of my allies survive so that I can use the ones with no level cap as stewards lol
restoration is my bread and butter! its essentially free healing for my character! and it saves on health potions! i just need better equipment to speed up the rate of magika regeneration by a lot, once my enchants are maxed out i will basically be on my way to being unstoppable!
I'm doing a Nord one handed tank build. Heavy armor, block, smithing and ine handed gets most of my skill points. But smithing has the highest level, at 82, enchanting is at 48 and restoration is at level 51. And my character is only lvl 31.
My big problem with restoration is not much to it, you either heal, ward, or scare away undead. Wards are pretty much useless since enemy mages will quickly break through them. The only fun thing about Restoration is that Poison Rune spell.
Why is serana your only target for the undead healing spells? Reanimations and undead summons count for this as well. I also want to point out that the undead heal spells don't heal less than the regular ones. They just heal faster. The regular ones are technically less than .03 mana per hp more efficient vs the undead focused ones and that variance gets even smaller once all enchants and parks are obtained. You need to remember their base healing value is balanced around the necromage perk. They are very useful if you're going for a necromancer build. Enemies tend to focus whatever is closer so you can stand back pump all your points into mana and just let your thrall kill everything while you're free to blast destruction spells and heal them as needed.
What really irritates me is that sun damage is borderline useless since it only affects draugrs, vampires, and zombies and it doesn't affect dead thralls even though it should or the fact it doesn't harm literal vampires just because they're names are different (like the "traveling bard" and advisors in the dawn guard side quests) and the worst part of it all is you can't disenchant the sun damage enchant which really REALLY pisses me off
Supposedly you can heal your own reanimated undead, so Necromantic Healing and Heal Undead aren't that bad. I think you can even heal summoned ones like the Boneman Wrath from the Soul Cairn (Or whatever is his name).
Mostly good for serana, also good with mods, any mod that lets u get other vampire/undead followers, invest in a particular summon or of ur using "ordinator" the false light skill which turns healing into damage works well enough given that they are immune to basic healing
"Necromantic healing is useless unless for Serana" Conjurers throughout Skyrim are judging you 😂 You got a skeleton minion, skeleton archer, skeleton champion, all kinds of ghosts and zombies to care for :3
I'm starting to suspect that restoration is not a very valid school of magic. I'd rather deal with undead by smacking them with an axe, resist magic damage with enchanted equipment, and by drinking a potion. Still a good video!
Good quality content but I will say one thing it always annoys me when people say Master level spells are bad because of their cast time It annoys me because they become ethereal shout is one of the first shouts you can get and it completely negates this issue I will say however Master level spells cost way too much
I was already going to put points into restoration for the heal/stamina regen but I wanted to figure out which spell would be be a t for that given my playstyle. I think I am now going to stick with fast heal or upgrade to close wound so thanks
Heal undead is great for healing your bone summons. With Master of the mind perk, Twin Souls, the bone Colossus, and the conjugation endurance and +1 summon enchantment, you can summon 5 bone bodies, rally them, and heal them. Important to note that I cast all magic for free and my conjugations last a minimum of 520 seconds (max enchantment, resto loop)
I am looking for a spell better than the Grand healing spell i use Restoration more than that other schools of magic healer and I love the healing spells and I don't use a follower i have Barbas he's All I need
It may, but natural regeneration in Skyrim is so incredibly slow for most enemies that it doesn’t make too much of a difference in most fights, at least from my experiences. Personally, I Would rather spend the magika on an instant-damage spell or a summon instead of using a slow DOT spell like poison rune. Good question!
@TypicalPirate55 wait does that poison stacks with other types of poison and can you use fire to boost that? If yes it could be usable tho not the best and i gotta ask 1 question, do runes target multiple eniemies or is it limited to single one and can you place multiple that affect 1
@ I’m not sure if it stacks with other poisons (like from the potion menu), but it will stack if you use two poison rune spells. It will also stack with other effects like fire, the ebony mail, and Mirrak’s staff as well! To answer your other question, rune spells can hit multiple enemies because they explode, but I find it pretty difficult to pull off unless you are fighting in a small hallway or corridor. Hope this helps.
Bane of the undead benefits from necromage and augmented flames doing 300+ damage to draug, turn undead up to 56 level. (UESP wikia) At higher levels still appear undead of lower levels so turn undead spells aren't completely useless. Circle of protection befetits for dual casting (not only duration) making (with necromage perk) turn undead up to level 55 For some reason Guradian Circle one of the two master spells (the other one is Dragon hide) can be dual cast making undead flee for up to 2 minutes. (UESP Wikia and tested myself)
@@TypicalPirate55 yeah, usually when you cast multiple times on the same creature, for example turn undead; especially if the effect hasn't ran out yet.
My follower Lydia and Janessa got killed i have never had serana yet I am a vampire 🦇 BARBAS i have Barbas and I don't think serana likes Barbas and my dog Barbas comes first 🥇 master Barbas 🐺🦇
This list remind me how horrible the base game is. I play Skyrim on PC so i never play without mods because the base game gutted the magic since it was largely unfinished. And unfortunately, the level caps suck and the restoration and illusion schools dont work past low level enemies. Plus the amount of magicka needed to cast some restoration spells is atrocious for the most useful school for gameplay mechanics
Yeah...." Casted" is not a proper word that is used in the English language Bildo Saggens.... your fired.... Notice: RUclips is NOT flooded with how awesome the Restoration School is.
Subscribe if you think that the Restoration is a perfectly valid school of magic
😂i never played a restoration build in the whole decade that skyrim has been out for so i just assumed fast healing was the highest level healing spell in the game because the other spells never spawned because of my low restoration level
Ward spells can block dragon fire/ice breath. I discovered that by accident while on top of the College wall after finishing your first lesson.
"Restoration is a perfectly valid school of Magic and don't let anyone tell you otherwise." 😂
You beat me to it. 😂
One important point to note...believe it or not level caps are overrated they do matter for non mage followers but for mages what matters is spells and that isn't affected by levels...so while serana can cast ice storm and chain lightning teldryn casts firebolt (also revenant versus flame atronach is no brainer) to explain more take Jzargo for example...no level cap but he spams sparks like an idiot levels don't increase damage for spells so he is basically useless whereas talvas who has one of the lowest level caps of 25 casts ice storms and fireballs like a maniac and uses armor spells and summons which Jzargo doesn't another factor is perks...Jzargo has no perks even though he could be freaking level 150 but talvas,serana and even other mages in the college have very nice perks for what they do so please please please as a professional skyrim content creator whom I respect and watch his videos as soon as they come out don't make this common mistake of only looking at level caps for followers people who watch your videos might get misguided by hearing those

Supposedly you can heal your own reanimated undead, so Necromantic Healing and Heal Undead aren't that bad. I think you can even heal summoned ones like the Boneman Wrath from the Soul Cairn (Or whatever is his name).
That’s true, however, I think that the Magika is better spent on getting new reanimated dead instead of healing them.
Mostly good for serana, also good with mods, any mod that lets u get other vampire/undead followers, invest in a particular summon or of ur using "ordinator" the false light skill which turns healing into damage works well enough given that they are immune to basic healing
You should do a follower rank list! 🤩
Wait…don’t necromatic healing spells help with those who are brought back to life to fight for you?
"Necromantic healing is useless unless for Serana"
Conjurers throughout Skyrim are judging you 😂 You got a skeleton minion, skeleton archer, skeleton champion, all kinds of ghosts and zombies to care for :3
I like healing hands cause Lydia, indigo, Lucian all constantly get knocked over by traps and it’s helpful and getting them to stand back up 😂
So true 🤣
Use become ethereal shout before casting master spells saves getting hacked up
And it allows your opponents to gently mass around your nuke
Somebody said they would eat to your videos be proud of that
Trust me, I am! 😁
I'm starting to suspect that restoration is not a very valid school of magic.
I'd rather deal with undead by smacking them with an axe, resist magic damage with enchanted equipment, and by drinking a potion.
Still a good video!
That switch from ward spells to flesh spells + mage armor confused me a bit to be honest.
i literally made a spell that that is a combination of greater ward and a buffed up heal.
Good quality content but I will say one thing it always annoys me when people say Master level spells are bad because of their cast time
It annoys me because they become ethereal shout is one of the first shouts you can get and it completely negates this issue
I will say however Master level spells cost way too much
I was already going to put points into restoration for the heal/stamina regen but I wanted to figure out which spell would be be a t for that given my playstyle. I think I am now going to stick with fast heal or upgrade to close wound so thanks
What are your thoughts on survival mode?
I think it’s a really great mode. It adds a lot to the game. I just wish it was a little more difficult.
Cool video!
@@michaelt62077 thanks!
what's it with 2011 games having healing magic hurting undead
What other games made in 2011 did this?
Heal undead is great for healing your bone summons. With Master of the mind perk, Twin Souls, the bone Colossus, and the conjugation endurance and +1 summon enchantment, you can summon 5 bone bodies, rally them, and heal them. Important to note that I cast all magic for free and my conjugations last a minimum of 520 seconds (max enchantment, resto loop)
I am looking for a spell better than the Grand healing spell i use Restoration more than that other schools of magic healer and I love the healing spells and I don't use a follower i have Barbas he's All I need
Doesn't poison stop natural regeneration for non undead eniemies or at least negates it?(I m talking about poison trap)
It may, but natural regeneration in Skyrim is so incredibly slow for most enemies that it doesn’t make too much of a difference in most fights, at least from my experiences. Personally, I Would rather spend the magika on an instant-damage spell or a summon instead of using a slow DOT spell like poison rune. Good question!
@TypicalPirate55 wait does that poison stacks with other types of poison and can you use fire to boost that? If yes it could be usable tho not the best and i gotta ask 1 question, do runes target multiple eniemies or is it limited to single one and can you place multiple that affect 1
@ I’m not sure if it stacks with other poisons (like from the potion menu), but it will stack if you use two poison rune spells. It will also stack with other effects like fire, the ebony mail, and Mirrak’s staff as well! To answer your other question, rune spells can hit multiple enemies because they explode, but I find it pretty difficult to pull off unless you are fighting in a small hallway or corridor. Hope this helps.
@@TypicalPirate55 thanks and i think i will test the stacking one day
Bane of the undead benefits from necromage and augmented flames doing 300+ damage to draug, turn undead up to 56 level. (UESP wikia)
At higher levels still appear undead of lower levels so turn undead spells aren't completely useless.
Circle of protection befetits for dual casting (not only duration) making (with necromage perk) turn undead up to level 55
For some reason Guradian Circle one of the two master spells (the other one is Dragon hide) can be dual cast making undead flee for up to 2 minutes. (UESP Wikia and tested myself)
Anniversary Edition tier list?
Possibly
I love your videos❤
Thanks!
Time stamps plz..
Restoration is at 💯 and I can use it all day and night my restoration spells are 0 to cast it's free 🆓
I don't like restoration because the pure fact it makes the game crash a lot.
It does?
@@TypicalPirate55 yeah, usually when you cast multiple times on the same creature, for example turn undead; especially if the effect hasn't ran out yet.
Most skyrim spells are severely lacking. Ya really need to get mods to have a fun and engaging mage play through.
Past tense of "cast" is "cast", not "casted"
Yep. Realized this mistake afteqr posting the whole series. Thanks for the correction
My follower Lydia and Janessa got killed i have never had serana yet I am a vampire 🦇 BARBAS i have Barbas and I don't think serana likes Barbas and my dog Barbas comes first 🥇 master Barbas 🐺🦇
Hit The Like Button 👍
Thanks!!
This list remind me how horrible the base game is. I play Skyrim on PC so i never play without mods because the base game gutted the magic since it was largely unfinished. And unfortunately, the level caps suck and the restoration and illusion schools dont work past low level enemies. Plus the amount of magicka needed to cast some restoration spells is atrocious for the most useful school for gameplay mechanics
Yeah. It’s really a shame. I really hope that ES6 fixes the magic system
slayed
I am the fifth comment
Yeah...." Casted" is not a proper word that is used in the English language Bildo Saggens.... your fired.... Notice: RUclips is NOT flooded with how awesome the Restoration School is.
Yep 😅😅😅 just realized that casted isn’t a word after posting the whole series. Oh well.
