I found Molag Bal a pushover on my Dragonknight, purely because of how overpowered Deep Breath becomes. I never dropped beneath 75% health because Deep Breath would instantly return me to full health. I imagine it's the same with every other health-draining ability. I'm not saying that Deep Breath needs nerfing, as it's a well-balanced ability the rest of the time, but the blessing of Akatosh needs to stop making health-draining abilities so powerful.

Ok put on your earmuffs if you don't want spoilers, but I felt the need to reply to this.

Don't you people get it? What happened at the end of Oblivion? What happened when you went to take on Molag Bal? Does it occur to you that perhaps there is more in common with the player character hero and Martin Septim? Don't you find it interesting that Meridia waited for you before launching an attack against Molag Bal? Don't you find it interesting that it is YOU that fights Molag Bal? Even more interesting these skyshards are a manifestation of Akatosh, upon the summoned effort of the Prophet. You use the Amulet of Kings. You. I'm going to argue that as the player, in that moment at that time you are in fact Dragonborn, and the only reason you don't die is that someone else does. Notice the Aedric weapons that you attack with? The Aedric fire?

Either way it is a fun fight and I quite enjoyed it.

He comes back in Oblivion. He would have escaped even if you hadn't released him. Who knows what ultimately happens to you.

I had the same experience. I realized he was simply a matter of kiting correctly. My first encounter with him was on my sorc. Sure, sorc are considered OP, but all I did was hit with him Degeneration and light attacks the entire time. ANY CLASS CAN DO THAT!

Yea that was the real fight. I HATED that so hard.

Personally, I loved the Molag Bal fight. It was easy, fortunately I had swallow soul slotted at that time, and that healed me to full every time I used it. It was a long fight, but still very easy and very rewarding. I was dreading what this fight would be after those skeletons, but it was made to be fun and a bit of a break from all the nightmare fights behind it.

Molag bal was a joke compared to Manimarco, and an even bigger joke to what the storyline had played him up as. I went in today as a level 45 sorc 3epics pieces including a wep, and a mix of all greens/blues all light armor. 1 shot him without a problem, maybe 3min fight. My expectations was so much more, the fact that we were actually able to "defeat him" was very unsatisfying. i was hoping the story would turn in a way of maybe he pulls out something awesome and totally kicks our ass, to save an epic fight for another day.

On a positive note thou, i did rather enjoy the entire storyline, it did give a great sense of adventuring into hell kind of deal. just disappointed on how easy the ending was

you did not enjoy kicking the(cant say it) of a daedric lord?

He is a chump for anyone that has two legs and a resto staff. Dont have to be a DK.

It turned out to be easy, but I loved it.

I was given ultimate power with the amulet of kings. Running up a twisting hill to a fight, which had me very worried, one shotting deadra with that whistling 'sent back to oblivion (?) effect. Burning giant holes through walls with my bare magic infused hands. coming face to face with Molag bal who could have just bitten my head off or squeezed me till it popped off. the amulet of kings.

My NB was in 5medium, 1heavy, 1light armour all green/fine. alternated between ranged attack with standard bow attacks, poisoned arrow every so often and swallow soul. when my magica ran low I popped invisibility, got in close and basically spammed flurry with light attacks in between until my stamina ran dry, popped a stamina potion and back to ranged attacks.

The titans that came (counted 6 or 7, thought there was only 4?) nearly all died to one ranged shot of my bow which I was very surprised about.

My DW and Medium armour skills were maxed out so I had all the passives, medium armour passives helped a lot I think.

I'm looking forward to and dreading, in equal measure, fighting him with my more melee range alts as they take the big hits more often even if they do hit harder.

I did Molag Bal a week ago with my VET 1 sorcerer and I didn't even die once. I got there like "Oh god Imma die so often" but I was surprised how easy he was. Keeping him distant, having a few potions, that's all. If you look what mechanics he uses... I only hit him with light attacks of my destro staff.
I also agree Mannimarco was harder.

i had the exact same reaction. the buff they give you for the fight makes the biggest boss fight in the game so bizarrely easy it was underwhelming and very disappointing

I had a heavy enough fight against Molag Bal... but I was only Level 45 at that point. And melee combat charas seem to have more problems in dealing with him than casters.

Guys, if you say it was too easy, have you forgotten you spent lv1 to 50 looking for the amulet of kings? The hard bit about molag bal fight isn't the fight itself, but the preparation to empower yourself enough to kick his arse and send him back oblivion. For me, there was nothing more enjoyable than the godlike feeling the amulet gave me. I've been through hell to get that power, now eat my sword molag bal!

Just saying
depressing molag bal
