User blog comment:Sgt. S.S./Are dragons possibly too much of a challenge?/@comment-4805462-20120303165046

Dragons can be a real problem without dragonrend and for characters up to level 10. In fact, if anything they get harder at higher lvls like 40 where you meet ancients. :( I have died at lot against them, don't look forward to higher levels. Anyway, 2 tips: 1. Do the daedric quest to get spellbreaker and block most, if not all of they're fire breath attacks. Must be lvl 12 i think. 2. Get items and do quests to increase magicka resistance. Get amulets, rings to reduce their fire breath. Have the lord stone for additional 25% magic resistance and do quests such as the book of love (find in temple of mara, riften) to increase magicka resistance further. Try to get perks on alteration tree to get magicka resist also. Dragons use fire breath a lot and it is magicka damage. high magic resist = not much damage taken. Just watch out for its physical attacks.
