Whirlwind Sprint & Become Ethereal are the kings of "quality of life" spells in the game, even in characters that use 0 shouts. One is the default one I use while traveling, and the other one is for falling long distances without taking damage
Also whirlwind sprint still works when ur overencumbered. Shouts also reset timer if u skip in game time. So u can just perma whirlwind sprint outside of battle
Becoming ethereal has been my main shout in Skyrim since the beginning for me I can pretty much jump off things without taking a single hit of fall damage if you have all three words of it
@@mb_entity and with good timing and all You can use it to escape combat especially from bigger enemies like dragons or anything that can hit you hard on higher difficulties in the game
I love clear Skies as like a harmless shout just for fun; it still startles people and it's got the top-tier Thundercrack sound, so I use it like a 'warning shout'
I've found when I want to completely mess up a room, the Clear Skies shout actually makes more of a mess than the Unrelenting Force shout. Give it a try next playthrough
Clear skies has a 5 second cooldown and staggers all enemies around you. While I wouldn't say its a great shout, it has a lot more utility than people give it credit for
Thank you! I've also found when I want to completely mess up a room, the Clear Skies shout actually makes more of a mess than the Unrelenting Force shout. Give it a try next playthrough
I came to say this, but deep down knew it had already been said. It's usually my go to equiped shout for that reason while just killing normal enemies. That cool down timer is busted.
Clear Skies also dispels Alduin's meteor strom Become Ethereal combos with Destruction Cloak Spells and allows you to set-up your Master Spells uninterrupted by a crowd of enemies
I love how this channel ranked hairstyles first before shouts it’s truly a testament to bethesda’s commitment to skyrims in-depth hair physics which are a major influence on the games playstyles that players choose
@@top_banananaplays absolutely, unless Jesus was an elf, in which case that'd be fine. The pursuit of the Thalmor (Piss Elves) against Talos worship is not too dissimilar to the Romans ostracizing Jesus worship! Anyways I may not wake up tomorrow
Mine will always be become ethereal for I can become a invincible being and take no damage until it wears off But it's only flaw is any action performed will mess it up so I refrain from doing so
@@pyscoandco they do the same thing almost Except one weakens armor and life force while the other just does damage them if they die they rise to help you fight alongside you till it wears off
@@ravenval5046 so true. the closest thing to flying is becoming a vampire lord and doing some console command trickery, so it's definitely missing some cool levitation or flying shouts in the mix. Dragon have wings after all lol
That's actually a neat detail asbthe shout jot only worksbon clouds but also whatever may be covering the borealis since if TES lore is anything to go by, tha stuff is most likely trailing from another infinite realm and invisible "clouds" decide when they are visible
Ice Form is the one I use the most. It’s my “Oh shit, I bit off more then I can chew” in dungeons when I need to freeze multiple enemies and heal myself. Plus, if you level it up to all 3 words of the shout, after you heal yourself, you can just target one specific frozen enemy and hack away at it while the others remain frozen for awhile.
Okay, my mind was blown when I was fighting Alduin at the Throat of the World in my most recent playthrough, and he started Shouting meteors out of the sky...and I used Clear Skies on a whim to see if I could cancel his dumb meteor shout. And it WORKED. Easily one of the most epic Shouts for me, tbh :3
I like Slow Time and Soul Tear the most. Insult some Thalmor, use Slow Time, get behind them, and they're dead before they know it. Soul Tear is pretty dang tortuous, lore-wise. I save it for Necromancers mainly. The ash piles in my game NEVER go away and it irritates me. Edit: As always thank you for the video, Longbrow!
@@Juicedbelmont I would have loved to see the look of confusion on my face the first time this happened to me with a dragon. It looked like I was absorbing a soul from nowhere because the ashes kinda scattered down the steps of Mount Anthor.
What makes ice form worse in my opinion, is that later on in the dragonborn dlc, you can find an upgrade for ice breath that also freezes your target. Making it very redundant
But you won't choose it... So it won't freeze. If it was the best choice, then yes ice form is useless. But you won't choose it. So it doesn't matter. Maybe its just me min/maxing stuff though
Also it IS the best choice, because enemies frozen by the dragonborn frost effect of ice breath while lasting a quarter of the time as ice form...will not break out if tou attack them. Which basically gives you 15 seconds of paralysis for free, olus the jce breath damage
Storm Call, storm atronachs, chain lightning or any other shock magic in a bandit fort I like lightning and it's a way of shooting stuff with reckless abandon without hurting your summons
Become Ethereal is one of the most powerfull shouts ingame to be honest. And fun also. 1. Can ignore damage 2. Best thing for falling down of a cliffs and mountains. 3. Stamina non consumed when runing with it active. 4. You can deal damage with cloack spells when it is active practically giving urself cheat combiantion to win anything. There's even more, but in time I forgot some of them.
Clear Skies will cancel Alduin's meteor storm attack. Bump it up a bit. Storm Call will strike friendlies and innocents you get a big bounty if you're not careful. Elemental Fury can be used on a pickaxe to mine ore faster if you just hit the ore instead of activating it. Good at clearing the Stalhrim from the big Stalhrim source and all the Ebony in Raven Rock mine. Whirlwind Sprint Is good for getting away to quickly heal or quickly approach long distance enemies. You can also use it while encumbered so you can get around town easier. Then you can leave summon a horse then fast travel and continue selling your expensive goodies. This one definitely deserves more love.
Slow time is literally just the superior version of elemental fury. With elemental fury you're still moving very quickly but it can be easily percieved by the NPCs because only your weapons are enchanted. With slow time you enchant yourself and then you can use your enchanted weapons too
Become Ethereal is really good for ritual spells like Mass paralysis and Fire Storm. Use all three words and gather a nice group of enemies then start casting before it runs out. Also the first word has such a short cooldown that you can use it when a dragon is breathing fire and it will be ready again before the dragon can breathe again normally.
First word duration is almost the same as the cooldown, so you can pretty much have it permanently enabled as well, with the Feim upgrade from our favourite mountain dwelling Dragon, you regenerate health (with some mods, also stamina and magicka) super quick which even offsets Vampire sunlight debuffs.
@@longbrowgaming2772 Not everyone likes Lydia but initially I started doing that because she's so buggy she just got stuck. With no obstacle. On the middle of the path. With two separate characters.
He wasn't saying that you're not allowed to like Clear Skies and nobody's 'chewing you up about its effectiveness.' As he stated in the video, this is his opinion. Don't watch if you don't want to see opinions that differ from yours. We get that you like Clear Skies, but please stop trying to act like there's this big problem with people hating on Clear Skies enjoyers when there isn't.
Whirlwind sprint is the one I used 95% of the time, because 95% of the game is walking. Even in fights as melee its damn useful, more than unrelenting force which is more useful for ranged combat to move the enemy away.
whirlwind sprint can be used in dungeons to cheese some obstacles, can be very usefull become ethereal makes it so you dont have fall damage, very usefull
I do respect your opinion, but I like Become Etheral more than you do. It has the added bonuses of your stamina not dropping and you survive ridiculous falls, great for shortening certain trips.
What about enemy types? And I don't mean like, individual enemies, I mean ranking types of enemies based on how fun they are to fight, like bandits, dragons, wolves, trolls y'know. For me, least fun is skeevers because they die to a fart. Most fun in vanilla to me are dragon priests, because they're cool and have a lot of HP and do a lot of damage. Most fun modded however, is definetly bandits and everyone who has combat mods and that one bandit overhaul mod I forgot the name of will know why.
I honestly like clear skies, helps for nice screenshots and just can change a whole mood of a location And become ethereal can make it so you take no fall damage while active so thats nice
I strongly disagree with your ratings. Clear Skies is one of the best aesthetic shouts out there, and if you use it at night, you get an Aurora Borealis, which is genuinely breathtaking. Additionally, because it forces weather effects to stop, you can use it in areas where the weather is used intentionally (See the Throat of The World) in order to get a view like no other. Whirlwind Sprint (SPRINT, not SPIRIT) is amazing for traversal, and is used in speed and challenge runs alike because of its ability to outright skip certain areas of the map, and Become Ethereal outright stops fall damage and allows you to dodge any enemy you don't think you can handle (this isn't important for normal playthroughs, but for challenge runs or places where you'd be particularly susceptible, it's MVP) I don't see how Kyne's Peace could be above any of those; even at level 5 or below, with no armor and horrible weapons, you can take on most if not all animals, especially with enough skill. You simply can't replicate the effects of Whirlwind Sprint, and could outright avoid a use of Kyne's Peace with Become Ethereal. To conclude, wtf are you smoking? Also, you had the time to make an 11 minute fully edited video, with sound effects, gameplay and all, but couldn't just boot up the game again to get the names of the shouts right?
Whirlwind Sprint is best used to get to hard to reach places. There are _lots_ of hard to reach places in Skyrim. And there is always treasure in them.
i love drain vitality, by far my favorite shout. not only does it stun enemies but it drains them of everything they have. its less about the damage and more about giving you huge bonuses
One thing that I do with the frost shout that makes me like It alot more is I like to combo it with chillrend and paralysis builds in general because if I'm on a very unlucky streak I can use it, wait for them to fall, and now they are locked into the getting up animation which gives me a bunch more chances to paralyze
I will always keep marked for death in my heart as the best shout in the game. Reason being is that the armor drain stacks, AND has no upper limit. It can take armor values into the negative. It is THE best shout for any build that deals physical damage. I once killed a legendary dragon, on legendary difficulty, at level one, with one swing of my unarmed fist, just because i could. That's how good this shout is. It even works on all enemies, including mechanical and undead. I've never struggled as a warrior with this shout, and you can get it within 20 minutes of a new game. I understand it not being ranked the best for others, but seeing it so low leaves me a little confused.
1. Clear Skies is not the worst. Above ground it has a similar effect as FUS ROH and basically no cooldown. Try it out. 2. Become etheral is one of the most powerful shouts in the game for melee chars. Become etheral to avoid enemies ranged attacks (bows, spells, dragon breath) run up close and deal damage, return for full effect, also 1 word is enough to pull that off already and the cooldown with amulet of talos and blessing is short enough to keep repeating that strat. Super OP even on legendary
Become Etherial has one good use besides running. Master level Destruction spells. Do the shout, walk into the middle of a room full of baddies, and cast the 3 second long Fire Storm. Just be ready to run once the Etherial comes down.
My main has always been and all ways will be relentless force. There’s nothing like running into a room and blasting them with a force push and everything and everyone fly everywhere! Plus it’s hilarious when an archer is hitting you from high up and you blast them with the force and they fall. 😂
Marked for death is OP, successive uses stacks too, to the point that any enemy could be killed with one hit with a wooden sword if you are patient enough.
I use the Steath Archer/Mage playing style. Throw Voice is an excellent way to lure enemies to an ambush point. My favorite shout is Storm Call. It does a great job clearing out outdoor bandit and forsworn camps. It also takes nice chunks of health from Giants and Mammoths. Most of the time all I have to do afterwards is loot the dead bodies.😁
the problem with Storm Call is that the lighting strikes don't discriminate against targets, so even friendly NPCs can (and most likely will) get hit. I like how it looks, I like the damage it deals, but is a bit risk to use in many situations, well, yes, "many" situations, which makes it more viable than I like to give it credit for, to be fair
Become ethereal is god tier in magic runs. Especially when you’re in the Markarth prison. You can just summon the undying ghost and go ethereal and let the summon kill everything.
Hey battle fury can be cool if you have meeko, barbas, serana (before going to harkon) , that arkay priest, your normal companion, and maybe conjuration
Ok imma be honest become Ethereal is heavily underrated, because in my miraak fight I had to us more than once to save myself from being absolutely clapped by him.
Dismay's more of a tactical thing If you are outclassed or outnumbered it can give you time to go after more dangerous opponents, heal up, reposition yourself or even just run away. Very useful if you are playing on Legendary and your character is still a milkdrinker
Storm call is one of my favorites since it is so powerful when you're overwhelmed (literally saved me in Skuldafn). BUT it does attack indiscriminately, so your followers may die...
Whirlwind sprint for the extreme hoarder trying to make it to the city and become ethereal is great against gravity and lesser know dungeon traps which can be deadly in higher difficulties or in general runaway from a what would be guaranteed death scenario
Whirlwind Sprint is great for moving when you're carrying too much stuff. Become Ethereal is my most used shout. I'll conjur and atronach and then become ethereal and let the atronach and my follower fight while I recover a bit.
In my 100% playthrough, slow time was by far the most powerful shout in terms of combat. Dragon aspect is good but not quite as explicitly op. shouts are mainly a utility to back up your op physical weapons, and nothing does that better than slow time. I almost didn't like using it because it felt too unfair. You take basically no damage, and you get a ton of time to get free damage on enemies. I managed to kill karstaag and the ebony warrior ridiculously easily by using slow time. Elemental fury is also really good, it similarly multiplies the OPness of your endgame weapons Edit: should be noted that I had the unofficial patch which fixes marked for death being as op as it is

You can use it to escape combat especially from bigger enemies like dragons or anything that can hit you hard on higher difficulties in the game
whirlwind sprint can also be used for platforming to hidden/normally innaccessable chests
Cluster glitch with a plate or bowl works just as well. Any shout that can be replaced by a silver platter deserves a low rankimg
The only time the game ever acknowledges its use in platform is the quest to retrive the horn of jurgen windcaller.

I don't think Clear Skies is the worst. It's one of my most used shouts. I hate running around outside in the rain and snow.
Super useful when using mods like Requiem and Frostfall/Sunhelm. Also useful for Survival Mode CC, but less so.
it’s also good for staggering opponents, combined with it’s low recharge time, it’s pretty useful actually
Essential if you're a vampire lord. If there is a cloud in between your arrow and the sun it wont work.
@@Ace2014Ace it technically will still work, but the guesswork you’ll do when you’re shooting the sun just ain’t that worth it

Become Etherial has one good use besides running. Master level Destruction spells. Do the shout, walk into the middle of a room full of baddies, and cast the 3 second long Fire Storm. Just be ready to run once the Etherial comes down.
fade become ethereal is awsome for traveling when active your stamina doesn't drain when running and no fall damage is sweeet
Clear skies is good if you’re traveling somewhere new and it’s cloudy. It reveals that part of the map
My favorite when playing orc is elemental fury cause x2 damage with the really fast swing speed
Amazing series
you've got to love this guy, he's so funny , i could watch this for hours... wait, i just did that
Whirlwind sprint is actually my favorite because when your encumbered it actually saves SO Much time
When you gonna do houses???
He already did a video on that i think ?
He's done spouses and cities, but he hasn't done houses yet.
Me realizing I was reading whirlwind spirit as “whirlwind sprint” for two years
It is Whirlwind Sprint, it was misread in the video
durnehviir is cool cuz he makes funny minecraft_dragon noises, yeah that's all i have to say
My main has always been and all ways will be relentless force. There’s nothing like running into a room and blasting them with a force push and everything and everyone fly everywhere! Plus it’s hilarious when an archer is hitting you from high up and you blast them with the force and they fall. 😂
It’s also a cool bonus when they disintegrate and yeeting them off cliffs
Marked for death is OP, successive uses stacks too, to the point that any enemy could be killed with one hit with a wooden sword if you are patient enough.
The Become Ethel shout does have some practical effects by making you immune to fall damage
I use the Steath Archer/Mage playing style. Throw Voice is an excellent way to lure enemies to an ambush point. My favorite shout is Storm Call. It does a great job clearing out outdoor bandit and forsworn camps. It also takes nice chunks of health from Giants and Mammoths. Most of the time all I have to do afterwards is loot the dead bodies.😁
Fr!
I love "Become ethereal" for shortcuts involving drops you couldn't live through
the problem with Storm Call is that the lighting strikes don't discriminate against targets, so even friendly NPCs can (and most likely will) get hit. I like how it looks, I like the damage it deals, but is a bit risk to use in many situations, well, yes, "many" situations, which makes it more viable than I like to give it credit for, to be fair
Whirlwind sprint is my go to when I’m carrying way too much lol
“Become Ethereal” was one of my most used shouts because you can jump off a cliff without taking fall damage.
My man out there fighting with two fishing rods. Also your guy looks like He Man.
Just had to smile as Unrelenting Force just blows enemies over the cliffs edge.
Become ethereal is god tier in magic runs. Especially when you’re in the Markarth prison. You can just summon the undying ghost and go ethereal and let the summon kill everything.
I love throw voice bc if you turn on the subtitles you can see what your character said
i think become ethereal shout is up there man very useful
Clear skies is the best, with the first word you can stab enemies and the recharge tike is super fast
your southern drawl got stronger since the last upload.
Clear skies is great when you are blocking it the sun with Ariel's bow
Patiently waiting for more "My Wife Plays Skyrim"...
Hey battle fury can be cool if you have meeko, barbas, serana (before going to harkon) , that arkay priest, your normal companion, and maybe conjuration
Ok imma be honest become Ethereal is heavily underrated, because in my miraak fight I had to us more than once to save myself from being absolutely clapped by him.
In survival whirlwind spirit has been my best friend for traveling long distances
Dismay's more of a tactical thing
If you are outclassed or outnumbered it can give you time to go after more dangerous opponents, heal up, reposition yourself or even just run away. Very useful if you are playing on Legendary and your character is still a milkdrinker
Become Ethereal and Clear Skies are some of my most used shouts. Rain and fall damage be damned
I love clear skies, especially when I'm at a snowy city
Whirlwind sprint is what i use to get from warmaidens to dragonsreach to enchant the 200 iron daggers I just made.
RIP Marked for Death. You made every build possible.
Storm call is one of my favorites since it is so powerful when you're overwhelmed (literally saved me in Skuldafn). BUT it does attack indiscriminately, so your followers may die...
Which is why we have mods lol
Whirlwind sprint for the extreme hoarder trying to make it to the city and become ethereal is great against gravity and lesser know dungeon traps which can be deadly in higher difficulties or in general runaway from a what would be guaranteed death scenario
Clear Skies can be used to cancel Alduin's firestorm ability as well.
Bronco comes to handy for dragons and guy they wanna fly they're gonna shout
You CAN indeed summon Durnehviir indoors, so long as the space is beg enough.
The thunder shout is so cool. Especially if you are playing a destruction mage. I often use this one but it sucks that hurts your allies too.
I’ll never forget when I had such a crush on marked for death
4:44 if your dont shout "ZA WARUDO!" whenever using that shout your doing it wrong
Whirlwind Sprint has a glitch where you can use it indefinitely in one direction fastest transport method.
Whirlwind sprint is quite handy when you’re encumbered
Whirlwind Sprint is great for moving when you're carrying too much stuff. Become Ethereal is my most used shout. I'll conjur and atronach and then become ethereal and let the atronach and my follower fight while I recover a bit.
Thanks i did not know all of them.
whirlwind sprint is my most used shout cuz it lets me run while encumbered
In my 100% playthrough, slow time was by far the most powerful shout in terms of combat. Dragon aspect is good but not quite as explicitly op. shouts are mainly a utility to back up your op physical weapons, and nothing does that better than slow time. I almost didn't like using it because it felt too unfair. You take basically no damage, and you get a ton of time to get free damage on enemies. I managed to kill karstaag and the ebony warrior ridiculously easily by using slow time. Elemental fury is also really good, it similarly multiplies the OPness of your endgame weapons
Edit: should be noted that I had the unofficial patch which fixes marked for death being as op as it is
