Oblivion Damage?

What exactly is Oblivion Damage?
My understanding is you cannot shield from it - you are going to get hit for the damage stated.

Is that correct?

Where do you get Oblivion Weapons? Can you craft them?

Tanks!

    Oblivion damage ignore all resistances, it's therefore not that easy to come by and have over time been nerfed. It's possible to make a niche build around it but I mostly don't see much use for it.

    These sets provides some form of oblivion damage:

    Knight Slayer set
    Sload's Semblance set

    There's also a glyph:

    Glyph of Decrease Health

    I think the only oblivion causing weapons are the choice weapon you get at the end of the Fighter's Guild quest line?

    You can always enchant the weapons to have that glyph though from any items that drop.

    Sload's Embrace also causes Oblivion damage as a crafted set.

    Fighters guild quests! Really?

    I am looking to find a two handed weapon to run with Oblivion damage in some cases.

    Saw Sload's....it is pretty nice...off to craft!

    Btw, have you tried Sload's Semblance set - thoughts?

    Tanks for chiming in!

    The Fighters Guild quest gives you a weapon with prismatic damage (bonus against daedra and undead), not oblivion damage.

    Ah, thanks for the correction. I guess I was mistaken :neutral: Been a while since I've done the FG main quest.

    They must drop somewhere, because I know I have gotten one or two of them. It’s super rare, though.

    Easier to make a glyph and just enchant whatever item you want with it. As someone else said, this enchant got nerfed and isn’t quite as good as it sounds so no one really uses it much, as far as I know.

    I believe it is the Decrease Health weapon glyph, it says it has “unresistible damage” now for some reason on the Fextralife page, lol!

    C’mon now, don’t even try to avoid the damage, it’s just too irresistible to deny!!!

    EDIT: aw I got it wrong because this site signed me out and I had to sign back in after looking it up. Irresistible was so much funnier...

    Some of the prophet items are oblivion damage, otherwise just use the glyph. It's not much use on most things but as a spare weapon for dealing with certain pvp builds that run insane shields and low health it can be handy.

    Hiya! Prophet items? What are those?

    Yes, PvP is insane. Oblivion Damage will ignore a health shield?
    I've see the insane shields....but also felt the insane dps....

    I deal neither...just call Squishy McSquishyPoo

    Prophet items are level up rewards... so it'll all be low level gear.
