That being said, maximize the fastest attack speed when dual wielding you actually have to have a sword in left hand and a dagger in your right, not 2 daggers which would make more sense. Attack speed of power attacks when dual wielding is decided by left hand weapon. If you want more damage in face-to-face combat, of course, consider a sword, just keep in mind that the ideal equipment for sneaking is quite different than that for combat.īryan is correct. My strategy for dealing with non-sneaking situations is falling back on magic. If you don't plan to be seen often, I personally have stuck with daggers. That includes silly things like the Nightingale Gloves. That includes Fortify One-Handed, Bladesman, etc. On the other hand, daggers do not benefit from several bonuses to swords. I can't tell whether that's up to 60x normal damage (15x from Assassin's Blade, 2x from Shrouded Gloves, 2x from power attack) or if there's some cap, but suffice it to say that if you planning to be very sneaky, not much will hold up to such an attack with two Daedric Daggers. In my experience, a standing dual-wielded sneak power attack with two daggers will connect and get the sneak bonus on the first two and maybe more (most enemies are dead by then). If you're focusing at all on enchanting, you may want to consider that. I don't know how much the crits from Bladesman add.Īlso, because daggers are faster, they will be able to deal out on-hit damage from enchantments more quickly.
Smithed to legendary, it's 24 versus 21, so only 14% difference. A Daedric Sword deals 14 vs the Dagger's 11, so only 27% more. For example, an Iron Sword deals 7 base damage vs an Iron Dagger's 4, which is 75% stronger. If you're dual-wielding a dagger and sword, that shouldn't really matter as you can sneak attack with the dagger and follow up with both.Īs you get better weapons, the damage difference as a percentage falls. So there's a difference here, in that the perks favor different playing styles: daggers benefit from stealth and swords benefit from more all-purpose combat. Everything (enchantments, perks, etc.) considered, I don't think there is a huge difference, so it should come down more to style.īackstab: 6x sneak attack damage with a one-handed weaponīladesman: 10/15/20% chance of doing critical damage with a sword (3 ranks)Īssassin's Blade: 15x sneak attack damage with a daggerĪrmsman: +20/40/60/80/100% damage with a one-handed weapon
Daggers are indeed faster, although I can't find a reference on how much faster.
