Panasonic ToughBook: Rally effect in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Rally effect in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Consequently these are apparently the illusion spells. It appears similar to they decided to bring back the Rally effect specified the names "Courage" "Rally" and "Call to Arms". My question is, did somebody every find this useful? Do you be expecting people to retreat more in Skyrim or will this presently be a filler spell effect?

In additional games through abilities of similar names, those are universal group buffs. Improved defense and offense. Rally is most likely replacing Command XXX. Instead of bending them to your will you gently persuade people to fight on your side.

They possibly will have changed the effect since Oblivion. They have perks for calm, fear and frenzy but none for rally. Maybe there are no perks for rally because they understand nobody is going to use it or maybe they have no perks for it because the effect has been changed to something more useful. I'm hoping for the later. Also, I remember hearing that frenzy + rally was effective in Oblivion but I don't understand why.

Re: Rally effect in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Can’t remember if there was fleeing in Oblivion but I do remember that frenzy + rally was better than just frenzy. Of course 1 sec ranged Command Humanoid+1 sec Command Creature was even better. The only spell in illusion I force using is invisibility. But I'll be using that one a LOT. As in, shoot and arrow, round a corner, invisibility, sneak, summon monster, invisibility, sneak somewhere else, etc. Sneaking keeps you quiet, but invisibility really allows you to do things. Combine the two, and you can manipulate a battle in many ways. You might not need all the sneak perks when you have invisibility hot keyed.

I'm missing seeing my charm spells here. I guess they decided they competed with speech craft like open lock did with loclpicking. And no I never used "rally" type spells ever.
