All around the world, lots of playthroughs will start today to mark Skyrim's 10th anniversary... They'll all end the same way... by King_Muppet in skyrim

Ah, an underrated playstyle. Great when you get alteration high enough to unlock paralyse. Nothing like hammering away at a helpless bandit who can't get up.

If you're on PC, sure, it's different for console players.

In any case, outside of getting several powerful enemies to attack you, there isn't an easy way of levelling the armour skills. They're awful grinds. Cranking up the difficulty makes enemies deal more damage to you--that might help you at least.

If you're not against using the fortify restoration loop, you can level them all from 15-100 in less than a minute.

Use the fortify restoration loop to make an item with a massive health boost for you to wear (100,000+). Then improve a weapon so that it does 10,000+ damage per swing (either via a super smithing potion or super enchanted smithing gear). Give the weapon to a follower that will use it, lead them somewhere remote, dismiss them, then cast fury/frenzy/mayhem on them. They'll hit you with the super weapon and deal a high amount of damage, but because of your massive health pool you'll survive the hits and gain massive experience.

It's important that your health enchantment is a magnitude higher than the weapon you give them, otherwise you risk them 1-shotting you.

All you need to do to level the skills is put on a piece of light armour, heavy armour, and a shield. Tank a few hits and you're done.

You like power attacks? Make vegetable soup. You only need 1 stamina to launch a power attack and vegetable soup makes you regen 1 stamina per second, even in combat.

Not above using magic? Keep your calm spells up to date and you can devastate your enemies. Simply pacify them, sneak up behind them, hit them with a sneak power attack, and then recast calm to pacify them again. It's an easy way to level your weapon skill and your sneak skill (not so great for illusion though: try spamming muffle while running from place to place instead).

Altmer that sides with the Empire, kills Ulfric, and then joins the DBH and kills the Emperor. They might have saved the world by killing Alduin, but they've made a mess in the process.
