      It really is just decent, using it normally is pretty annoying since you have to wait 24 hours to get berserker rage and SoP back. Not to mention that their duration is so low. But if your opponent is weak enough that you don't have to use them, it's not that bad.

    Have you tried drinking fortify destruction and grabbing atornach perk? If fortify destruction is at 235% or above and you take atornach perk in the alteration skill tree when the potion is active you get a 100% chance of absorbing all magic and would take 0 damage from any magic attacks. The drawbacks of this is that you will absorb your own conjuration spells and would be unable to summon anything.

    • @Sickliff
      @Sickliff  Год назад +3

      Yes, I've done that before. The reason I didn't include it in this video is because it's inconvenient to activate/deactivate. Using the standing stone allows us to stack our armor without having to level alteration every time.

    You can actually do this with Bittercup by duplicating it with the duplication glitch. However you need to increase magicka and stamina with enchanted gear so that your health is the lowest attribute. Make a piece of enchanted gear with fortify 1 health and don't take it off (or you'll die during the next part because I'll have 0 health) then drink 5 Bittercups to get 1 health.

    • @Sickliff
      @Sickliff  Год назад +1

      It's impossible to enchant gear with a Fortify Health of exactly 1 point. There's a decimal that you can't see when using a petty soul gem.

    • @Sickliff
      @Sickliff  Год назад +3

      From what I understand they don't ignore damage reduction, but many enemies deal enough damage to trigger a killmove anyway. Especially if you don't have all of your buffs active. I don't think the attack that triggers it necessarily has to deal enough damage to kill you.

    This made me wonder, can you ever stack enough magic resistance to survive spells until you get permanent100% absorption since that seems like the obvious way to do a 1 hp run? Now that I think about it, you probably wouldn't even need it if you got impact.

    • @Sickliff
      @Sickliff  Год назад +2

      Well, you can get 85% magic resist and 85% elemental resist, plus 50% elemental resist from Elemental Protection (it stacks separately), and 50% destruction magic resistance from Secret of Protection. So the lowest you can get is 0.5625% damage from elemental spells. The Dawnguard set bonus also reduces the damage from Vampiric Drain by 25%, so you would take 5.625% damage from that.

    • @sinva4847
      @sinva4847 Год назад

      Instead of Magic resistance you can stack Magic absorption, atronach Stone with atronach perk from alteration skill tree, while Also choosing breton as your race and becoming a vampire with the necromage perk from restoration skill tree.
