ozzy561 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Well I recently completely transformed my mage into an assassin type role, and it's actually going pretty good. I use a sword and a dagger as my weapon combination, with the dark brotherhood gloves that double my sneak attacks, and I've also got the 15x sneak damage with daggers perk which gives me a total of 30x sneak damage with my dagger. My sword gives a 12x sneak damage bonus. I was wondering that if I switch to dual daggers, will I be able to get 60x sneak attack damge? Does that make sense? :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that make sense? :S the double damage is for backstabs (not stealth attacks iirc), so if you hit your target from behind, yes, or does it just count for base damage... if you do the dual strike (tapping both attack buttons at once), it may. i'm not sure on this though... are you planning to stealth drop a dragon, just asking?

gsmanners Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Daggers make more sense because they don't make noise (unlike other weapons). You don't get the sneak attack bonus if you get detected in mid-swing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonbornArcher Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 maybe, but both weapons would probably have to hit at the same time, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but Daggers need some advantage to be worth using over a sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
