Veugaroth Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 (edited) Can be found here UESP wiki - Weapon Damage. For weapons. This depends on how you prefer to attack your enemy (in order of effectiveness from best to worst):a) Sneak criticals? Long Sword, dagger.b) Stagger opponent to death? Dagger.c) Direct assault? Claymore, long sword. Generally the armor value you see in the inventory shows the direct % damage reduction. So an armor with armor rating of 6 will reduce 6% of physical damage taken. The type of armor is heavily influenced by the skill heavy/light armor. Wearing heavy orcish armor may not give you a lot of advantage if you don't have at least 75 (or 100) heavy armor skill where it's only half weight (0 weight). Otherwise your speed will be reduced by a lot compared to light armor. Heavy armor leans more towards endurance while light armor towards agility.NOTE: Damage reduction is capped at 85%.
