I have been noticing how easy it is for enemies to block your melee attacks. I always find it preferable to just use the bow or magic instead.
What is your preferred method of fighting?
I mean... I can just keep using the Enflame ability and scarf a few potions afterwards and not take a single hit. Using a combo of Enflame and a good bow works wonders. Especially when doing the tricky "take no damage" boasts.
i like to continue with melee combat and i use assasin rush that usally helpswith the guys that block your melee attacks also i use berserk which some time breaks throught the block anyways.

I use a bit of everything.
The bow for very long range decapitations.
Magic to defeat large groups.
And melee if i feel like it. If they are blocking me i'll bang em on the head with a good florish move or berserk like synthetic points out.

I like to do that too, especially with enemies that fire missiles knocking you down.
When surrounded I use enflame, I had to kill a bunch of undead and was getting fed up of the time it was taking so I just kept using the spell.
As for the bow, I'm not too good with it, so I only use it against things that stay stationary generally.
When the skills are maxed out it's great to shoot with bows (skorms bow)
Like for example the greatwood entrance , there are always bandits who are at the other end of the map. I aim approximatly to the red dot and i release the arrow together with a fireball to put them in a world of hurt.
mwoeahahaha. I guess my fighting style is dependant of the mood i'm in
i like to use the bow as mainly an attention getter if you shoot the bandits just hard enough to gfet there attention and get them mad they will all attack you

Melee all the way.
I don't like bows since the longbows are too weak and the crossbows take too much time to reload.
The only spells I use are physical shield and force push and occasionally slow time for the trolls
Finished the game pure evil will, and gotta say, I'm a killing machine. Use Infernal Wrath a lot, coupled with Fireball and Lightning. Using Slow time also helps greatly, and so does Force Push.

So this means you hardly or never used a melee weapon to kill nme's
i generally use everything, as the situation calls for it. i'm a whore for Infernal Wrath and Enflame though. you can get your combat multiplier up to crazy levels with lots of enemies and a level 4 Infernal Wrath (or Divine Fury).
as for the melee enemies that block, all you need to do is take timely advantage of your flourishes. a strong character with three or so flourishes can finish a minion without getting hit once.
it's the Summoners that present more of a problem... best thing for them is Skorm's bow and Infernal Wrath/Divine Fury. even Enflame doesn't really slow them down.

That's right, I never used weapons... except for at the beginning when you didn't have a choice, fighting Maze when you had to, and stabbing people in cutscenes.
And for those of you who weren't aware, the White Balverine becomes hitable after receiving the Aug, not after putting it in a weapon . It was tough to begin with, but it's worth the challenge. Just don't cheat and use swords or bows.

i like using melee and magic mostly the same i like using avos tear combined with slow time and pisique shield i tried it today in necropilis and i got a 56 combat multipler and also when i went into the arena i had full power for divine fury and boy did i kick a$$ slow time and phizicule shild have to be the 1 of the best magic combos dude

Well I'd doubt that. In order to play as a mage properly, you should never use a weapon, so that kind of rules you out. But it's not really that hard being a pure will user, infact, it's not very hard full stop.
