Skyrim Battles - Rahgot vs. Pyromancer, Lord Harkon, Karstaag, and more

I want to feature some more Dragon Priests in my videos. This time, it's Rahgot's turn! A fire-based Priest, he'll be a challenge for those who lack the proper resistance.

The unique masked Dragon Priests on mainland Skyrim usually perform worse than their generic counterparts, because their staves are relatively bad compared to their regular destruction spells. The staves can be good, but NPCs can't use them smartly like the player does. As a small benefit, they won't run out of magicka, but Dragon Priests regenerate magicka quickly, so this is usually not much of a problem for them anyway.

Raghot's staff is much less useful against Karstaag than the other opponents in this episode, because Rahgot aims too high and directly at Karstaag's body, rather than at the ground. That means the ground won't be on fire and Rahgot needs to keep Karstaag under constant attack. Furthermore, the lingering effect on the ground does much more damage than the direct hit, so even if Rahgot keeps attacking, it isn't enough to do significant damage to Karstaag, although it does keep him from regenerating.
It's not the most balanced battle, but it's still pretty cool to see. Most other NPCs in the game could not deal with Rahgot and the 4 Draugr Deathlords. The Ebony Warrior can, but he keeps getting staggered by their shouts, making for a very slow and rather boring fight, so I picked Karstaag. It also shows again how powerful Karstaag is, even if he's getting attacked with fire.
