Dualwielding character

[Moredhel]

Yup, another topic by Moredhel (who? shut up! :ohdear: )

 

I've just made me a redguard who will be a dualwielder, picked the race for the +10 in one-handed and the adrenaline rush, because I need lots of stamina for all those power attacks. Gotta be fast because dualwielders don't tend to last long in, well, long fights ;)

 

I figured that the Warrior stone would be best for me, since I'll pump most points into light armor, one-handed and smithing. On the other hand, I could do a little sneaking now and then, and use +armor spells from alteration, making the Lover stone a good second choice.

 

Now which health:stamina ratio would suffice for a nice game of dualwielding? 1:2? 2:1? 1:1?

I just finished my dual wielder and what i thought worked pretty well was having 200hp and the rest of my points in Stamina.

 

Until i was at 200hp, i went with a 1:1 ratio though.

 

The extra HP is just so you can survive things you can't prevent - like a full blast of fire from a dragon. With a lot of stamina, you can keep beating on enemies forcing them to block till their dead, so in dungeon crawling I didn't find hp all that important xD

Does anyone notice the speed increase from the Dual Flurry perk btw? I can only swing as fast as I can click my mouse buttons...

I'm doing duel wielding now with two Katana swords, and they are deadly. I do have the dual Flurry perk and it is faster (or at least it seems to be) and there seems to be another type of stance animation, looks quite good. But as you said, I can only go as fast as I can use the mouse. Having great fun dual wielding the Katana's.

Where'd you get a second katana?

If you're not going down the rogue tree, why not invest in heavy armour?

 

Less damage taken = longer life = less need for hp = more points that can be spent in stamina,

 

and pumping out those power attacks is vital for dual wield imo.

[Jellona]

Well for logically thinking Heavy armor would make dual wielding harder (as it is heavier, but this has no effect (?) in skyrim yet, but when CK is out it will be done for sure).

Hold down both mouse buttons at the same time to do a dual flurry

Vegetable soup says hi to Dual wielding characters. :biggrin:

 

I did 1:1 till both reaches 200, then 2:1 till 300:250, then 3:1 and so on. Worked well enough.
