Which playstyle do you guys think is the most easiest one
Yeah. I've been known to take down a dragon with one dual cast of Thunderbolt (just a regular dragon, it takes at least 3 to take down a legendary, even on novice).^ Agreed. My sibling plays full mage and he's op as all hell. I saw him kill a dragon with three hits.
But he has no armor so he gets 1 hit K-O'd pretty easily.
You ain't just whistlin' Dixie!Mage. You can slow down enemies charging at you to a snails pace, or fury them into killing each other. Summoning allows you to keep them distracted even more + with illusion you can make your summons/undead into killing machines by stacking courage/rally/call to arms.
Never underestimate Mages, while you start off really weak and easy to kill... You will dominate any battlefield once you level up.
I personally like using Storm Atronachs + Chain Lightning. Since your spell will reflect off your summons onto enemies without causing any damage to your summon.
I used to feel the same way until I dedicated myself to it one day. While not my favorite build, it is certainly a challenge. The main thing I found was that you MUST have a companion or conjured being and playing a mage on higher difficulties is next to impossible.IMO: Sneak, archery, one hand, some illusion
Blocking isn't my thing, so haven't done much with sword and board builds, though they seem pretty strong.
Magic I love in other games, hate in Skyrim - mostly because the whole equip spells to hand implementation feels clunks and slow to me and ruins my immersion - so I have never gotten high with a pure magic build.
