When the unwary Dragonborn comes to Shearpoint dragon lair on his Dragonborn business (killing dragons, that is), it's a mean moment when he goes a bit too near to the Word Wall and awakens something terrible.
Lets see what we have: an angry boss-level Dragon Priest with Ice spells and a nasty Fireball stuff, most likely accompanied by a Frost Atronach. On lower levels you're likely as good as dead the moment you charge him; so let's bee careful with this one.

I tried to make Krosis fight with the dragon of Shearpoint several times, yet nothing came out. And if you are melee, I have some bad news for you: Krosis glides and slides faster than you most likely do, his frost spells further slow you down. Add a Frost Cloak spell that drains your stamina - so no power attacks. Due to his Greater Ward my "if you can't beat 'em, FUS-RO-DAH 'em" strategy didn't help either.
Krosis is pathetic without his magic and his use of fireball's AOE damage is intimidating. Thus he always tries not to charge you but to flank you. Still Krosis doesn't know the first rule of Skyrim ranged combat: whenever not shooting, make sure there's something between you and the enemy. So, my low-level friend, you should take up a spell like Lightning bolt, hide behind the Word Wall and come out occasionally, dodge his projectiles and land a blow or two. If you are a Breton (which are 25% resistant to all magic), you might visit the Atronach stone (to start absorbing magic damage and decrease the damage) and equip a Healing spell in one hand, an offensive spell - in the other, and take on Krosis directly. No matter what you choose, Krosis has a decent amount of health and you'll have a long fight on your hands.
