It was probably because you were level 104 lol.

I fought him @ 80, and found him to be pretty tough, thank the divines for my impact on dual destruction x_x I would have to say of all of the mobs in skyrim, he was by far the hardest, at this point in the game anyway. Everything else anymore is basicly a 1 shot, and he was not, so that was cool.

I fought him in legendary mod light armor (Vicky's [items]), which actually has pretty high defence due to my smithing, he was taking good chunks of health out of me each time he connected a swing. I probably could have equiped my 1 handed enchantment items or 2 handed and fought him with melee weapons, but after almost dying numerous times,  i stuck with my dual cast destruction and Ice speared him to death.. cheese, i know, but it worked lol. My character is kind of a battle mage, heavy on the mage side .. magic build (0 mp cost destruction)

Anyway, tl:dr: it was a nice encounter for this far in the game. An actual challenge with skyrims somewhat lack luster combat system.
