unleashing a magic projectile that paralyzes whoever it hits, summoning a gargoyle, drastically slowing down time, and being able to telekinetically pull an enemy towards you(even from a long distance away) and keep them floating in mid air
Also if you're playing on a PC I hope you're using mods lol.
Playing on PS3.
I've only unlocked so far about a half-dozen perks on the vampire skill tree but my character is already pretty darn powerful.
My character had a $1000 bounty on him in Riften. I needed to travel to the Thieves' Guild to complete a couple of quests. Was hoping I could fast travel to the city right outside of the TG secret entrance and enter w/out being seen so I wouldn't have to kill anyone for spotting me. Didn't work though. Several guards saw me immediately, approached me, and started dialogue w/me before I could get into the secret entrance. I backed out of the dialogue and fled to put as much distance between them and myself as I could so I could change into vampire lord form (i hate how it takes like 6 or 7 seconds to change form).
I was able to change before taking too much dmg and that's when I went on an extremely fun killing spree. Killed probably at least a dozen people and not all of them were guards. The bats travel ability is really useful when a crowd of people are closing in on you and the vampiric grip/choke/ throw abilty is awesome too. I was finally able to kill everyone that was alerted to my presence and sneak into the TG.
