I'm on my 3rd playthrough trying a pure mage build and I just hit level 35. Destruction spells feel completely useless now. Even dual-casting Fireball barely scratches anything, and I'm burning through magicka for damage that a steel dagger could do faster.
I know there's the Augmented Flames/Frost/Shock perks but those feel like they're just delaying the inevitable. By mid-game you're basically forced into Conjuration spam or Restoration healing because at least those scale somehow. Destruction just... stops working.
Are there mods that actually address this without completely overhauling the game? I'm using USSEP and SkyUI but nothing crazy. Ordinator maybe? I've heard it fixes perk trees but I'm not sure if it helps Destruction specifically. Don't want to restart if I can avoid it but also don't want to spend the next 20 hours casting pebbles at dragons.
What's the move here.
