I made a bit of a mistake, I think, with my Skyrim character; I boosted my MP at the expense of my HP, repeatedly, and now I find myself at level 30 and so flimsy that many magic-tossing opponents essentially 1-shot kill me.
I'd like some advice on how to fix myself here; I'm willing to grind a bit to get it done, but I'm not loaded with spare time and would like to get back in shape and back to the fun part of the game sort of quickly.
Basically, any tips for jacking up my durability would be awesome.
edit
To provide more context:
- I'm playing on the 360; as far as I know, this precludes console tweaks.
- My character is a bit of a mishmash; sword-mage, mainly. I'm not loaded with crafting, except that I'm a decent alchemist.
Best Answer
With the information you provided things are sketchy but some applications apply to all characters so here goes:
You could purchase Fortify Health Potions which increase your maximum HP for a limited time and use them at the beginning of battles
You could take the Atronach Stone perk which gives you 50% Magical Absorbtion, 50 extra Magicka, and -50% Magicka Regeneration. (use Magicka potions to offside the negative effect for now) (Located in the southernmost part of the hot-springs zone, northwest of Mistwatch and east-northeast of Darkwater Crossing.)
You could purchase Resist Frost, Fire, Lighting potions which increase your resistance to the appropriate school of magic temporarily.
You could purchase any peice of jewelry or armor that increases your HP
You could activate a Shrine of Arkay which increases your health by 25 points. (convieniently found in Whiterun's Hall of the Dead (among other places) )
Edit:
I had forgotten when posting this that your a level 30 ish mage. You could make actual use of your retartedly over-powered paralyze spell and basically one shot everything you come across and start flaming bethesda forums as to why mages are so darn strong.
I'm sure there are more options as well, but that should be a good handfull to get you going.
