I've gotten to the point in the main storyline after you've: gone to the thalmor party and got the documents pertaining to what they know about dragons returning.
At this point I decided it would be a good time to start doing sidequests. I decided to track down some of the Word Walls scattered about the landscape. I came across two word walls. One in a dungeon called Ragnvald and the other out randomly in the world. Here's where the major spoilers start.
After I had gotten close to the word wall (the one outside) and the one in Ragnvald these floating Draugr creatures with purple robes appeared and they are absolute tanks that can practically one shot me with their spells. I'm level 13 with level 37 on One-Handed Weapons with level 30 Destruction Magic so I figured maybe I just wasn't using something he was weak against. I was able to use a shout to stagger the beast and try hacking it with my axe which didn't do much of anything. Then my magic didn't even scratch him. I decided to look up what these creatures were. They're called
Dragon Priests. I had tried fighting
Otar The Mad in Ragnvald and
Krosis. I can take a dragon down (not two at once though) but these guys mess me up hardcore. A couple of shots from his fireball or ice shards and I'm done.
So i'm curious if any of you guys have run into these things? Have you been able to defeat them? Should I go through the main quest and then come back and fight these guys? I can provide details on my character build if needed. Thanks in advance.
