Yeah, that's my go-to spell, unless there are specific inherent spell weaknesses or resistances affecting my target. Casters, of course, get shocked.

And I usually do the run backwards thing. The problem is when I accidentally backup into a wall or are facing multiple mobs. Switching from casting to unrelenting force takes enough time for me to get killed.

Meh, I suppose I'm just a clumsy player and get my character trapped more often than I should. But I'm still able to get through the game even if it takes me a few more attempts than it would others.


Oh yeah--does anyone use wards, at all? I've decided to forgo them completely. I've tried them before, but they're a huge drain on mana, and even when I do manage to block an attack I'm not ready to counter.
