Bugs

i found a bug that rarely this shout "stucks" on your weapon, it doesn't expire as it should. im not sure what caused it. prolly fast travelling with it on? Sanguin 23:16, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

I also found this bug and it is very annoying the noise sticks to you and it is very loud and overcomes almost all of the other noise. It is elemental fury constantly making noise and it is extremely obnoxious. If anyone has a permanent fix to this please tell me otherwise bethesda needs to fix this. I play on XBOX and i cant seem to fix it. — Unsigned comment by 174.124.255.84 (talk) at 16:05 on 24 June 2012

"does not work on enchanted weapons"

... makes this about as useless as a spell can get, since even at full strength it doesn't come close to compensating for the DPS lost by having to use a non-magical weapon. One scenario where it might be less than worthless would be (rather ironically) for sneak attacks: the duration is long enough that you could probably shout "far enough away" and then be able to get to the target in time, and if it manages to buy you a second SA then it could be worth it on rare occasions. Other than that though, it looks like a total failure. Anyone come up with any cases where it isn't? Aliana 00:02, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Hm... levelling weapon skills? --195.202.166.190 02:06, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Trying this out and the increased speed seems to be well worth not enchanting, or rather carrying unenchanted blades and shouting for a boss or dragon fight, and then switching to an enchanted set when the shout wears off, if the boss actually lives that long. 98.92.105.94 09:29, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Great burst damage. When used with a high end 2-hander (I use a Legendary Nord Hero Greatsword)the increased DPS from the extra attack far outshines any damage enchantment you could possibly use. The downside would be a loss of absorbs, if you use them, and peripheral effects such as stamina and magicka drain. Just be sure to switch back to your enchanted weapon when the effect wears off. 82.68.56.110 11:39, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

It also does not work if you are unarmed, which would be the only other time I could see someone attacking without an enchanted weapon. The error message in that case is "You must have a weapon drawn." (fists out doesn't work) --108.12.180.5 21:26, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Doesn't matter to me, when you dual wield, DPS increases massively. Plus you can also have an enchanted right hand weapon for even more damage. --98.151.154.110 17:07, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

ooh. I think you mean LEFT hand, but that's a clever exploit. The shout is still a huge net loss if you've got a decent enchanting skill, but might be worthwhile early on with that trick. Aliana 16:35, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

(←) Haven't tried it myself, but I have heard of people using this shout to wield a pickaxe manually and mine ore extremely fast. Might be nice to clear out a mine without taking all day. GrogGrogGrog 18:52, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

I've just tried it, and yes, it works incredibly well for short bursts of fast manual mining. Combine with an Amulet and/or blessing of Talos for best results. I cleaned out Kolskeggr mine in record time. :) GrogGrogGrog 14:49, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

The Longhammer (2-handed hammer) works with this shout (it is technically unenchanted). Actually, it becomes ridiculously overpowered (at least at level 20 with 65 in Two-handed, and 4/5 perk points in Barbarian), as The Longhammer already swings 30% faster than other hammers (surpassing 2H swords). With the shout it seems to be even faster than a 1H sword. And, the cooldown for the first tier of the shout isn't all that long, so you can spam it fairly well. I see good application in room-clearing, especially with the Sweep perk.Funjifore 06:57, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Anyone made a bug fix for this yet?

I can't find one on the Nexus. I'm assuming the fact that it only works on physical (not summoned) non-enchanted, melee weapons is a bug. 24.211.186.125 18:10, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

There's no reason to believe that Elemental Fury not working with Enchanted weapons is a bug. Dragofireheart 14:09, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Of course there is. No where in the shout description does it say it only works on unenchanted weapons. It says "The Thu'um imbues your arms with the speed of wind, allowing for faster weapon strikes." It doesn't specify any limitations at all. It also doesn't mention the fact that it only works on melee weapons. Either the in-game description should be a lot more specific, or it's bugged. Servius 04:01, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

This shout worked fine on my enchanted weapons, but at one point it stopped working, so it must be a bug. - Anonymous

I have answers to these questions people. Firstly, there is a clearly stated message which pop's when you try to use Elemental Fury while having two enchanted weapons drawn - it states "YOUR WEAPON IS ALREAD ENCHANTED". However, if you discharge the weapons, the shout can work from time to time, but only on whatever weapon is in your RIGHT hand. Furthermore, regardless of whether or not you are dual-wielding unenchanted weapons in both hands - the left hand will weapon will seem in everyway enchanted (inventory and in gameplay), but NEVER swing at the same full enchanted speed as your right. This effectively disables the dual-flurrys' potential while using the Elemental Fury shout, and results in a normal dual-flurry speed. Herein lies the bug - the left hand doesn't accept the Elemental Fury enchantment. Wifirex 22 January 2012

thoroughly in agreement with you, and very disappointed the shout is mostly useless for a high-level two-handed build.108.250.59.10 20:43, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

sexchange?

So is that comment about it fixing the sound bug trolling orrrrr? 124.191.57.178 08:18, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

I'm going to guess probably it isn't. The command has been seen to fix other audio glitches as well. If I had to guess at the mechanics, it's probably because certain sounds are specific to your gender, so forcing a sex change also changes the sounds being used, thus fixing the problem. I'll tag it for verification, though. – Robin Hood↝talk 06:26, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Elemental Fury - Bug

I got a very anoying bug: I wan't to learn a part of the Dragonshout "Elemental Fury". It's the location by the Statue of Meridia. But all that happens is that "floating" magic stuff, showing that the charakter is "learning" or "absorbing" the word/what ever. Nevertheless nothing happens. Can anyone help? — Unsigned comment by 91.96.228.119 (talk) at 22:52 on 31 December 2011

I have the exact same problem :-( That Word Wall works just fine in *much* older saves, but something appears to have "broken" it at some point. Others have had this problem with different word walls, but that's the same one troubling me. At least it's a shout I don't really use, and thankfully there are no Achievements for unlocking every word. 209.66.120.3 02:10, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

I had the same problem too. I reloaded from a fast travel before going there. After four times the wall gave it up. Maybe just try reloading many times. I hope you get it, I sure love elemental fury for mining lol. I just fix the wall then I go upstarirs to get my sons blanket. He proceeds to press the ejevct disc button O.O Now no amount of reloading is fixing it >.> I'm thinking maybe it is certain walls, and how thier cells are loaded. I had this probelm on my other character and just loaded loaded loaded and it finaly worked. I got the one by merida's shrine to give it again. Although 11 relaods is obnoxious. I dont think it is decided weather or not you can get it the first time you are in the cell though. I was by the one in meridas shrine before and forgot it. bearhiderug 14:53, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

I was able to obtain the Meridia part of the shout when I saved and quit at the word wall and reloaded the next day. I don't know if that was a fluke, but I think it warrants testing. — Unsigned comment by 71.35.27.212 (talk) at 21:11 on 17 March 2012

I had the problem, and I saved at the wall, exited and re-entered the game, and the wall started to work correctly. — Unsigned comment by 24.243.45.217 (talk) at 07:48 on 30 March 2012

Confirmed, saving at the site, exiting the game and reloading worked for me. That's conclusive enough for me to edit the main, which I'm going to do now. Schm0 20:52, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

(←) I've encountered this bug at Dragontooth Crater.--149.160.118.50 19:27, 12 May 2013 (GMT)

The "saving and reloading" fix does not seem to work at Dragontooth Crater. Tested on Xbox 360.--149.160.118.50 01:19, 14 May 2013 (GMT)

I added a bug report to the article for Dragontooth Crater. Hopefully someone else who experiences this bug on Xbox will find a fix. --Xyzzy ^Talk 02:52, 14 May 2013 (GMT)

Elemental Fury adds damage?

I've been playing with Elemental Fury since my assassin is still using daggers without any enchantments, specifically Fine Orcish and Fine Steel daggers. His One Hand skill is pretty low so the daggers only deal 12 and 10 damage respectively. As I was using Elemental Fury, I noticed I seemed to be hitting harder not just swinging faster. With the effect still running, I opened my inventory and looked at my daggers to find that each one has a whitish pulsating glow and the text "+10 Elemental Fury" listed. Does this mean that each dagger is gaining an additional 10 damage while under the effects of Elemental Fury? I've never heard mention of a raw damage bonus. If Elemental Fury does provide a temporary damage enchantment, it would certainly explain why it can't be applied to an already-enchanted weapon.--TangoUniform (talk) 18:44, 11 January 2013 (GMT)

You're right that it's why you can't use the shout on an enchanted weapon but it's not adding any extra damage. I believe "Elemental Fury" is also the name of the weapon enchantment that makes it glow and swing faster, and you're seeing it at magnitude +10. You'd probably see a higher or lower number depending on how many words of the shout you used. --97.73.64.144 18:02, 15 February 2013 (GMT)

Elemental Fury Fix

There is a mod on the Nexus that allows elemental fury to work on enchanted weapons, bows, and unarmed. I am also about to upload a tweaked version as suggested by another user of the site that allows it to work properly with dual wield. Just search for "Elemental Fury Fix" the one with "Offhand Fix" after it is the most updated as of now. — Unsigned comment by 184.17.173.40 (talk) at 00:36 on 18 January 2013‎

On the infinite sound glitch

I found this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEcN0xkxMSo) which shows one way to activate the infinite sound loop. I'm still experimenting with the glitch, but it seems the main cause of the glitch is switching weapons while Elemental Fury is in effect. I'll post the results of my tests later but for now it looks like the best way to deal with this glitch is to not change weapons when you use it. --108.27.17.117 18:17, 18 February 2013 (GMT)

Bug - No Change in Speed

When I use Elemental Fury, I get the visual and sound effects I'm supposed to, but there is no increase in speed. This seems to have started in the last week or so. I'm using it with the same weapons (which aren't enchanted) as before, but it has stopped working properly. Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas about a fix? Playing on Xbox. Username12345 (talk) 04:41, 7 May 2013 (GMT)

Fixing the infinite sound bug

This may work, it did for me. Go to the audio settings, turn the effects slider down to zero, and let the setting save. Return to the window and bring the slider up to max and the sound should be gone. — Unsigned comment by ‎ 142.162.230.5 (talk) at 17:57 on 27 June 2013

Thanks. I added this to the article, but it needs to be verified. --Xyzzy ^Talk 17:35, 29 June 2013 (GMT)

Does not correct the issue on 360. — Unsigned comment by 2.107.30.14 (talk) at 17:38 on 17 August 2014

The solution no longer appears on the article, so I'm assuming it was found not to work in most cases. – Robin Hood  ^(talk) 18:18, 17 August 2014 (GMT)

Aight, so you just go into werewolf mode if you have it, if that doesn't work, then use your vampire lord mode, of that don't work (which it should), then you have to reload a previous save. — Unsigned comment by 174.245.22.219 (talk) at 22:31 on 25 October 2024

Unofficial Skyrim Patch Fix

The Unofficial Skyrim Patch treated the 'not working with enchanted weapons' portion as a bug and fixed it such that it works correctly with enchanted weapons. Additionally, it now works with dual wielding, but not bows. The bugs section should reflect this correctly. — Unsigned comment by 220.255.1.66 (talk) at 15:40 on 23 August 2013

After looking through the fix list, I don't see any mention of the shout now working for enchanted weapons. Are you sure it wasn't caused by some other mod you have activated? ThuumofReason (talk) 19:50, 23 August 2013 (GMT)

All I have running on my game are the unofficial patches, and elemental fury works just fine with Dawnbreaker, at least. I imagine if it's not working with everyone's, it's likely due to load order issues. I'm shocked it hasn't been updated on the wiki.— Unsigned comment by 184.76.55.88 (talk) at 09:40 on 4 April 2014

For both USLEEP and older versions of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch, Elemental Fury still does not work with enchanted weapons, as it will give you a message "Your weapon is already enchanted" if you try. It does however work with bows now, as I was able to use it on my unmodified dragonbone bow just fine. Maybe the bow restriction is what they were treating as a bug?FrozenWolf150 (talk) 05:02, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Can anyone confirm that Elemental Fury works on bows in the Unofficial Skyrim Patch? This seems to contradict the note in the bug tracker, which says, "The underlying magic effect seems to make it clear the shout is meant for melee weapons." Iainuki (talk) 22:03, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

no increased speed for mining

I've just been trialling to see the increased speed for mining using this shout, but it doesn't change the swing speed at all for me? should this be removed from the possible uses section or is this just an issue for me? It's not a shout I have used that mmuch as normally using enchanted weapons. Biffa (talk) 11:40, 23 February 2014 (EST)

How are you doing the mining? Are you activating it or are you "attacking" it? I think it's only if you attack it with a pickaxe that the shout has an effect. KaidaThyme (talk) 17:23, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

While we normally discourage necroposting, Biffa's still around and may actually see the reply, plus it's useful for others to know as well. KaidaThyme is correct that only attacking the mine will be sped up. Also make sure you haven't enchanted your pickaxe at some point for the enchanting XP (or because you like using a pickaxe as a weapon for some reason). – Robin Hood  ^(talk) 20:27, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Ebony Blade

Another consideration for the seeming confusion on the "enchanted weapons" caveat - it works just fine on the Ebony Blade for me. I have a few mods, the Unofficial patches among them, so I figure it's quite possible they did "fix" this...don't want to add it to the article before there's more of a consensus on this, and being that the Ebony Blade's enchantment isn't entirely, shall we say, traditional, that might just as well add further to the confusion, but it could still be useful information if we're trying to reach a consensus on the details of this shout. Field Ignored (talk) 15:17, 12 May 2014 (GMT)

Currently Using this on my Assassin with unenchanted ebony blade and enchanted secondary. The enchanted secondary, currently I use mace of Molog-Bal, More than makes this a devastating combo.

Extremely fast attack speed

I have Mehrune's Razor in my left hand and a Nord Hero Sword in my right hand - both upgraded to legendary (some large number with a smithing potion and smithing enhanted gear - no restoration glith though). I have 2 points in dual flurry. When I use the elemental fury shout, my dual weilding attacks don't seem to be too much better (though still quite a bit faster), but my attacks with my right hand weapon are at insane speeds. I am only using the first level of the shout and haven't tested any others because I haven't gotten them yet.

I believe it may be the same bug as mentioned at the bottom of the bug section, but I got it in a different manner than described. I don't need to do any weapon switching and the insane attack speeds are only on my right hand weapon.

Disenchanting

This shout technically adds a temporary enchantment to a weapon (which is why it doesn't work with enchanted weapons). On one of my characters, I managed to disenchant a weapon that had this effect on it to learn the Elemental Fury enchantment. I don't know if this only works with the permanent Elemental Fury bug or if having Extra Effect allows you to use it with an enchanted weapon. I'll do some testing and come back with more information.
