How to level up armor skills in legendary difficulty?
I've started a new Skyrim run a few days ago, and since I was looking for a harder challenge, I've set the difficulty to the highest setting, legendary. I'm leveling conjuration, two-handed and heavy armor - at least that's what I'm trying to. The problem with the latter is that most enemies can one-hit kill me (I thought this would stop after a few levels, but I'm at level 18 now, still no change), so I have to hide behind my follower (Lydia FTW) and summoned creature. That works fine for killing enemies, but since I'm barely hit at all, my armor skill doesn't level up. What can I do about this? Is there a good way to level my armor skill? (please no suggestions that involve lowering the difficulty) The only things that don't kill me in one to two hits are like mudcrabs, and even those come dangerously close ...
