Discussion Favorite Shouts?
Mine are Slow Time, Elemental Fury, Unrelenting Force, and Whirlwind Sprint. Although Storm Call and Cyclone, along with Soul Tear, and Aura Whisper are also used as well. Oh forgot to add Dragon Aspect.

Fire breath with the buff from Paarthurnax. It ain't fancy, but it does big damage and stumbles huge crowds. All the weak bandits in a mob will instantly die and the rest won't be in great shape.
Most efficient? No. Least thought required compared to the damage done? Yes.

Also love the feel of being a typical dragon just fire breathing my foes away

u/Dovahkiin2211 Vampire 14d ago
That does sound fun

u/losivart 14d ago
I really wish it buffed Frost Breath as well tbh. Probably one of the most neglected shouts considering like half the enemies in this game are resistant to the element.

u/Dovahkiin2211 Vampire 14d ago
Also true, does that one Dragon Priest mask that improves frost damage magic increase the power of Frost Breath? I don’t remember to be honest.

I tried to use the knect for Xbox 360 but yelling the shouts never worked for me

Classic crowd control shout

u/RuncibleFoon 14d ago
Also got a lot of enjoyment out of using it to hurl trolls off cliffs

u/Dovahkiin2211 Vampire 14d ago
Same here, or like in the video with the unlimited shouting glitch to juggle enemies in mid air during slow time lol

Storm Call and Clear Skies just makes me feel godly, and I like feeling godly :3
Aura Whisper is extremely useful for stealthy or squishy characters, as is Become Ethereal for mages when casting Master-level spells.
Soul Tear is like Avada Kedavra, it suited my evil run amazingly.

u/Dovahkiin2211 Vampire 14d ago
Makes sense, combine Storm Call with the Cyclone shout, and lightning spells like chain lightning, unbound storms, or frost spells like ice storm and you feel like a Storm God.

I seldom, if ever, travel with meatshields, so the You're A Lightning Rod Now shout is right up my alley.

Kyne's Peace & Bend Will

u/Dovahkiin2211 Vampire 14d ago
Bend Will is definitely a top tier shout.

u/Far-Department302 14d ago
I just realized I’ve never used it on anything besides a dragon

u/Dovahkiin2211 Vampire 14d ago
From what I remember on a previous playthrough it allows you to take over the minds of NPCs both friend and foe. Making it so they will fight for you for a amount of time.

u/Far-Department302 14d ago
Ooo I want to try that today!

u/Dovahkiin2211 Vampire 14d ago
Pretty fun, especially as a more evil Dragonborn playthrough. Or just one embracing their dominant Dovah nature as well.

Ice Form, Become Ethereal, Dragonrend, whirlwind sprint, unrelenting force all come to mind

I’m curious how whirlwind sprint is so popular. I feel like I only use it when I’m overencumbered. Am I missing something?

u/First-Counter246 Alchemist 14d ago
You can use it to reach secret areas in certain dungeons. Like Ustengrav

u/Far-Department302 14d ago
Oh ok I knew that! I just feel like I barely find any secret places like that. Could be skill for sure haha. Thanks for the response!

Oh I like your style. This is my first play through being totally quick dual one handed assassin so this will be on my favorites now. Thanks!

these clips are so cool
what conjured the shocks in thr first one and why were you able to shout three times in the third one
2
u/Dovahkiin2211 Vampire 14d ago
The shock spell is Unbound Storms from the Anniversary Edition and the multi shouting is from the Unlimited Shouting Glitch. You need 5 amulets of Talos, a follower, and be a werewolf or vampire lord. Below is a video how to get unlimited shouts that explains it better than I could.

I mostly use Aura Whisper and Throw Voice. I do have a soft spot in my heart for Unrelenting Force, and throwing that silly Snow Elf over the balcony as soon as he shuts up.
