User blog comment:PaperChaser/Best type of Destruction spell?/@comment-4929781-20120403230322

As many people have stated below, shock is a good type to specialise in. Even though it costs slightly more magicka there are few enemies with resistances to it. Also there are a lot of magic users that can cast some devistating spells so it's a smart tactic to use shock spells to drain their magicka and make them resort to melee.
