Lehcar Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 What weapon style do you like to use with warrior/rogue characters? With every character I've played with so far, I've always used the classical sword and shield weapon style, because I really like shields and a lot of the shield moves. I used the dual-weapon style with one of my rogue characters, but I find I didn't like it very much because most of the dual-weapon moves aren't that useful or powerful. I tried out the two-handed weapon style a tiny bit, but I find it just wasn't working for me. The character seems to swing the weapon too slowly, my opponent in the Provings had me nearly killed before I even got half of her health down. I haven't tried using archery at all yet. Have any of you tried it? How useful is it? Are archers any good for the slaughtering of mooks and monsters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dual weapon rogue has the highest potential dps in the game. Archery...later in the game is deadly... It's funny btw; I am playing my first shield warrior ever; every other one was a 2H specialist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreweve1 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I like Dual Wielding the best, usually with two smaller swords/daggers if I can find two really good ones so I don't have use a longsword. My Elf always has a Bow with him, it helps a lot having a good bow/crossbow with some good arrows as an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danscott84 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Dual weapon wielding archer. Momentum and Punisher are used quite a lot, plus Dual Weapon Sweep followed by the Wirlwind to finish several foes at one time. That last combination I was able to bring down 6 enemies at one time. The archer with quickdraw is helpful against mages, plus the Arrow of Slaying is deadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elooocin Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Oh man, duel weapons is the best to me! Not only for damage but for speed which I really love. I always, first thing, get Duel-Striking and work towards Momentum as fast as I can. Not to mention my love of Duel-Weapon Sweep to knock off 3 or more evils at one time. My guy who was a hardcore Sword & Shield guy started using Zev finally in one game and quickly used cheats to change all his people to Duel-Weapon guys, even Sten and Oghren lmao! He realized how much damage they could do using duel-weapons and felt they were useless with their two-handed skills - which he and I both dislike. Two-handed is just so goddang slow! Not to mention they miss half the time!... on a side note, the hardest character for me to kil in DC was Sten ... dear god he hit me every time and each hit knocked my health down so low I ended up having to just run away and set my Ogre on him ... and I still died! I do love Shield & Sword though, and maybe it's a bit sexist of me, but anytime I play a male warrior he is always this! LOL! I just think it looks so cool and MANLY :teehee: :wub: ... I know I'm odd sometimes ... But yeah, it's Duel-Weapons for me followed by Weapon & Shield for sure. As for bow & arrow, I have the mod that makes your speed faster (not damage) and that makes bow & arrow much much better to me. Not to mention how epic Arrow of Slaying is! And I really love Shattering Shot & Pinning shot for keeping enemies back. I have only had a main character do archery one time but want to do it again really soon because I enjoy it a lot. And I always have Leliana in my party if I am not a mage since I like to keep 2 range attackers and 2 up close attackers in my party at all times. So I'll keep a mage and her in the back a lot to crowd control as two warriors storm into the fray with swords swinging. That combo works best and makes me die less often, lol! On a side note ... I miss Oblivion bow & arrow, it was my absolute fav and all my characters were awesome at it! I miss sneaking around and picking off enemies, lol!
