I am stuck. Simply put, I have been relying completely on my vampire lord form, as it is OP is heck now (All Perks). Now I realize it is completely ineffective on Alduin and barely nicks at his health. Now I cannot even stand there for 5 seconds before I die. Is there any way that I can overpower him without dying? Any suggestions are welcome. Literally anything.

Best Answer
First of all, Alduin is invulnerable while flying. You MUST use dragonrend to make him land before you can damage him.
Now, as a vampire, you are extremely vulnerable to fire, but not so much to cold. Alduin uses both fire and ice breath. You should consider enchanting your items with "resist fire" to deal with his fire breath. A potion to resist fire is also helpful.
If Alduin is summoning meteor showers, you can use Clear Sky to clear the meteor showers. Otherwise, you should use the first word of dragonrend as much as possible on Alduin. It staggers him every time.
You want to position yourself at his side, near his wings. This triggers his wing-slams, which deals the least amount of damage.
Having a companion and summons is helpful, as they can tank for you.
If you have no good weapon, there is a sword called dragonbane in Sky Haven Temple. It is extra good against dragons. You can get another one handed weapon so you can duel-wield for more damage.

Finally, you can turn down the difficulty.
