Storm Atronach or Dremora Lord: Which is better?

[Blaise]

Storm Atronach with:

Summoner (1/2): Can summon atronachs or raise undead twice as far away.
Atromancy: Double duration for conjured Atronachs.
Elemental potency: Conjured Atronachs are 50% more powerful.

VS

Dremora Lord (I don't know, are these perks valid for him?!)

[Jusey1]

The perks are valid for Dremora Lords. So you get the three times as far away, twin souls, etc for Dremora Lords.

Drmeora Lords generally do more damage and are much more aggressive while Storm Atronaches are more range and usually stay back, waiting for the enemy to come to them.

Also, Dremora Lords has entertaining combat quotes.

I got it, thank you.
I found 2 pages, and both says something else.

Perks

Summoner, increase range to 48 ft at first rank or 72 ft at second rank.
Atromancy, increases duration to 120 secs.

Although casters must have a high Conjuration skill to summon a dremora lord, Perks are neither required to summon one nor do they raise its strength.
The dremora lord is not affected by "Elemental Potency," as it is not an Atronach. It is, however, affected by "Twin Souls," despite the description saying that two summoned atronachs or zombies are possible.

So yeah... That's why I asked it.:D

[Jusey1]

Yeah. Elemental Potency doesn't effect them but the other perks do.

Out of the two options, I'd go with the dremora. They'll at least get in the face of your enemy and draw some of their attacks until one or the other is defeated. Storm atronachs tend to hang back, and it always seems like they only get off two or three attacks before they have to recharge their magicka.

But the summoning you get after completing a certain mage's quests at the CoW is better than either of the two IMO.

Are you talking about the Dead Thrall?

You don't have to choose between them. Use them both.

I wanna use two from the better one. I think it is the Dremora Lord.

[Heather#0377]

Dremora lord is the better option 95% of the time. The only time I would use storm atronach is against dragons since lightning has instant travel time, so they can hit him while he's flying.

Is he talking about the permanant atronachs? Because they're not really all that great, to be honest, unless you REALLY like the atronachs. Having dremora lord available as well as the option to pick any summon you want is too vaulable. All the master spells suck, really.

[jreese46]

Something to consider: Your Dremora are melee fighters, so generally speaking, they only hit the enemy. Your storm atronachs use chain lightning and lightning cloak, both of which can get you into fights with citizens and guards.

[Heather#0377]

Well, there'd be no reason to summon them inside a city anyway, unless they were thralls, but just use the temporary ones, they're more convienent

[Uncle64]

You can use them both, Dremora in caves, and when you need some that tanks for you.
Potent Flame atronachs/ Storm when fighting dragons. do work well.
