Redguard Spellsword/Battlemage Question?

Hey guys, I'm a bit of a newbie at ESO but I have my mind set on playing a Redguard Spellsword/Battlemage. I know there is a difference between the two but basically I want to do melee damage with a splash of magic. I chose Sorcerer as my class because I though Storm Calling sounded pretty cool. My question is should I go 'sword and board' or dual weild?

Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    If what you're looking to do is dole out damage, dual wield is far better for it than sword & board. Sword & shield is a skill line that's primarily about tanking rather than causing damage, while dual wield is all about melee damage.

    Ok, I was just wondering because the Redguard get a bonus for using a Sword and Shield.

    No they do not. They only get a bonus on how fast the skill line levels up.For all races the first passive is irrelevant once you leveled up that skill line.

    The extra stamina from later passives does indeed give reduguards the ability to be great tanks and ery sustainable stamina dps..
