DW/2H vs 2H/Bow

zuto40

Ive always used DW/2h but i see 90% of stam users using 2h/bow, the majority of them just get wrecked so quickly but a few seem to be on a level completely beyond me in terms of survivability, im not a bad player by any means, i very rarely lose in a 1v1 situation mostly to the few 2h/bow users i mentioned above, is 2h/bow just that much better then dw/2h or are those players just that much better

Here are my fully buffed stats with my dw/2h
Max magic 11452 Max mag recov 794
Max health 27850 Health recovery 214(pretty sure this is bugged cause it didnt change when i put the points into the vamp passive to increase this)
Max stam 41322 Stamina recov 2206
Weapon dmg 4996
Crit resistance 1281

Well 2h/bow offers a lot of mobility from dodging with a bow, it give some ranged attacks, and poison injection is a pretty strong dot/execute. A lot more well rounded than dw/2h. I had a hard time giving up my dw up until I got my maelstrom 2h and bow. Then it was a no brainer for me

Bow is overused because of how strong poison imjection is as well as the major expedition passive on the tree.
Dual wield doesnt offer much in PvP except steel tornado.
I personally hate the bow meta so I switched to dual wied and found that Flying blade hits hard as hell and I can take off rally since I have another source of major brutality.

Isn't the question sword or maul

Bow gives you major expedition on Dodge Roll. TH gives crit rush. DW has no mobility, and it really doesn't have but 1-2 skills
that are strong in PVP.  I love DW in PVE, but its severely limited in Cryodil, especially to DKs who need the dual execute of PI and Executioner, stamina gap closers, AOE, and stam-based crowd control. 

Plus the greatest combo ever is Silver Leash (latch on), Poison Injection,
Crit Rush, Magnum Shot, Silver Leash (gap close), Shooting Star, Dizzying Swing, Executioner.

Give that up just to twirl around? Never.

They are very strong.

2h/dw minset is to burst down opponents quickly with high weapon damage. it works most of the time. but it won't work against some best players and you start to lose.

2h/bow mindset is the balance among weapon damage, mobility, and dot. it's much more versatile.

Depending on what I feel like running I'll use dual wield with one hand and shield. Throw a lot of dots on then reverb bash and bloodthirst spam. Not easy to heal through.
