The necromage perk while being a vampire boosts both these effects just enough to give you exactly 100% spell absorption.

8:59 The change of the shout at last time shows how advanced is his AI in combat, using the unrelenting force instead of the disarm shout, making them more damage since they were on a cliff. Smart move.
Many players and fans in the world of Skyrim consider him the last opponent storywise. It makes you wonder if the Ebony Warrior is so powerful what challenges did he face before doing a death battle against the Dragonborn. It just makes perfect sense that the guy is not some ordinary Redguard with experience seeing that he stands at a height over 7'0 which is taller than the Altmer race.
The theory i saw once, was that he was a champion/incarnation of Ebonarm, a deity in Yokudan lore that ESO kinda (emphasis in KINDA) implied was the Yokudan name/versión of the Celestial "The Warrior"

@@ReymuruTempest I started watching a few videos of Karstaag vs EW after seeing your comment and only one had the Ebony warrior winning. So I guess Karstaag can win against EW, though in my experience years ago Karstaag lost. It’s kinda cool to realize just how legendary of a fight it is to have them fight.
@@acendantoverlord5737 Ebony Warrior wins due to having healing spells. It turns into a battle of attrition that he wins despite Karstaag hitting harder.
A level 1 player can take down the standard three-man Legion patrol. The Ebony Warrior is a level 80 NPC with Absorb Health enchantment on his main weapon. This was always going to be a slaughter against melee soldiers; him falling to an army of ranged attackers was a foregone conclusion.
Tall guy with a black armour. OMG that reminds me Sauron striking many people. Is incredible how fast does the Enony Warrior swift his swrod and also how fast uses the bow. Amazing
Never underestimate what complete and utter fuckery a group of mages can unleash. Imagine if all those mages were slinging Fireballs instead of the weaker Firebolt. Or if they did that plus summon Storm Atronachs or Dremora.
Fireball would have killed the soldiers so the Ebony Knight would have targeted the mages earlier, but hard to say if the Ebony Knight would have fallen before.
I thought exactly the same. Also to be honest a little better AI too. If went after the mages first and I don't know if he has the block runner perk and imagine he had shield charge. He could charge past all the grunts and then just massacre the mages. Just to top it off imagine he has smithed up gear too. His resistances are good. I think his gear gives him like 50 percent resistance to all 3 elements. I would actually love to fight him like that too. The only thing that I dislike a lot is that reflect damage perk. I mean it works but its so annoying when you want to just own him and you die from being too strong.
I still fully subscribe to the idea that the ebony warrior is just someone's oblivion or morrowind character. They've done all the quests. Now, it's just time to find that *one* last challenge that finally kills them! It's incredibly honorable and disciplined
Honestly: Not as an NPC, but controlled by a player with a bit of a tactical approach, the Ebony Warrior might have won that last battle as well: Move on the other side of that wall (in general: move around more and make use of potential cover), draw the mages closer by doing so, then focus on the mages first, then the bowmen and then the close range fighters.
I didn’t even fight him. I used my Call Dragon shout, and my follower Lydia to take him down. Only took 3 minutes I just sat there behind a tree and watched. Free loot. Currently Level 96…
As soon as I saw THAT number of mages, I knew it was over. But if he were smart enough to destroy the mages first, it would take many more imperials to kill him.
Aldmeri dominion: sees the entire legion massacred Aldmeri dominion: well done, the Thalmor will- Ebony warrior draws his weapons: now, your turn Aldmeri dominion: flees accross the sea
This just reaffirms to me just just powerful he probably is, hes literally a one man army who is killed trained soldiers with a single hit each like its nothing

That's how the pointed ears won over the Empire
They always do. Usually have to turn difficulty down for mages, then back up after I beat them
