how does one deal with paralyzing spam?
so today, I began am invading a dwemer ruin of Falmer, all of them use paralyzing, only to be followed up by another. How the ♥♥♥♥ do I even fight that ♥♥♥♥?
Without using console.

Falmer should not have that spell. I would look towards your mods.

But to beat them...use ranged weapons/magic. Or with console tgm.

Resist magic enchantments, spellbreaker shield would help as well.

My guess: Requiem. Apparently there's an MCM setting for it (related to poisons)?

If it's Requiem it's their arrows. I'd recommend getting the completed Gaulder amulet. One of the effects is immunity to being paralyzed.

Don't get hit :steammocking:

Frenzy them and make them fight each other. Stay hidden until only one is left.
Yeah, I play Requiem, pure heavy armor build this one. And no, there isn't a setting which disables paralyzing. To fight against that ♥♥♥♥, I use console. But I want a legit way to fight them, and what is completed Gaulder amulet?

Always worth mentioning if you're using a mod like Requiem in your question, btw.

To the best of my knowledge, they don't have the spell, they have poison. From what I've just read (googled requiem Falmer paralyse) the "animal poisons cause paralysis" toggle in the MCM should work here. Otherwise, you need to beef up your poison resistance. If you put enough points into health you will eventually get some innate poison resistance, apparently. There are resist poison enchantments. And if you're not averse to magic, the Restoration school has a resist poison spell. Plus, of course, there's potions.

Completed Gauldur amulet boosts health, magicka and stamina, doesn't as far as I know do anything else, but maybe a mod alters that.

In Requiem it does.

Yeah, in Requiem it offers some pretty decent (if slightly vague) resistances, I believe - anti-drain, anti-poison or anti-paralysis... Can't remember exactly, haven't got the thing yet, but from what I've read, yes, it's pretty dang useful.

OP, you know the amulet you pick up in Saarthal at the end, and there's a quest related to it? Follow that quest and you'll end up with the Gauldur Amulet. It's probably not something to be attempted at low levels, but I assume if you're trying to fight Falmer, you're not low level...
I went and got the aethium gear, good ♥♥♥♥. I am no mage.
