Soulstormkj✭✭not to be a noodge but did you change your mind about dual wield as the better choice or is it just a ...it's more to use 2H so is personal preference really ?
For the build as described. Duel wield is definitely the better choice. My live build is a bit different.1 -

I'm lvl 22 now, and playing Dual Wield, all 5 passives are profit, 2h only 2ish
+ the attackspeed buff from rapid strike and bleed for heal from first skill
combined with strife and veiled strike its a good setup for solodps and killing packs of 3 easy

I personally have no problems crushing mobs with my 2her. I open from stealth and literally one shot with auto-attacks. That being said I do not really have much aoe asides from my ultimate. Since im a vampire bat swarm op ;o0 -

Feimerdre✭✭✭✭The big negative point about vamire/werewolf is that later Fighter Guild skills will toast you. At least in PvP

Feimerdre✭✭✭✭Lets wait till they implement the Justice/Jail system. I am pretty sure that vamp/were will encounter some disadvantages in social life then just as the TES series had it. At least I very much hope for it...2

The sunlight doesnt hurt you
fire does though, and depending on the spec you fight better at night.

Thralgaf✭✭✭Do you purposely not use any dual wield melee? I find that surprising that on your melee hotbar there are no dual wield skills. Are you not constantly out of majicka?0 -

I use rapid strike, but have not unlocked "marked target" yet. I am not sure how not having a dual-wield skill in your action bar is effective and efficient. I run out of magicka too quickly now, especially on the long fights.0 -

Nowadays I am using a 2her and bow. Some of my more recent videos showcase this. I will probably do a build video soon since I am level 50 now.

I evolved mark target into reapers mark. Its so good. 60% health return on kill.0 -
Teloran✭✭✭I disagree strongly with taking Concealed Weapon instead of Surprises Attack. The armour reduction is a huge since all of your close ranged class skills are mitigated by armour. You're taking a small, situational in combat movement speed boost instead of a considerable party wide DPS boost.0 -

While I think that generally your right. I have to say two things about your assumption.
A. When a party ganks one person in PVP They are pretty much gonna die instantly from what I have seen so far. ( This is from pre vet gameplay.)
B. You assume this build is for group play when it is actually for mostly 1v1 or PvE Single assassination style gameplay.
That being said, my build has changed considerably on launch and I am in fact using surprise attack instead of concealed weapon. But I can see how the movement speak can be useful especially against those who kite.

Actually with my 2her that I am currently using I only use two 2her skills.

Brittany_Joy✭✭✭✭I have a question; Does siphoning strikes benefit from the transfer passive, were each attack gives me 2 ultimate while siphoning strikes is active? Sorry to ask this here but I didnt want to make a new post just for one question.0 -

I actually have not used siphoning strikes yet. Perhaps someone else could answer this for you. Sorry ;p

After testing this out the answer is no. I think its because you have to "hit them" with an ability as in do damage.0 -

DemonsthereSoul ShrivenI've been playing the Warlock build with a few tweaks, and I have to say, for me it's play better than both dragonknight and sorcerer mage.
Pros:
- Depending on skill choices 3~5 skills that suck the HP from the enemy to yourself
- Massive debuffs
- Great sustain, you rarely are below 20% magicka casting spells all the time
Cons:
- Most of dmg is DoT, therefore the lack of burst
- Exponential experience curve (becomes more and more effective with lvl, after getting 2 main skills Path of Shadow and Degeneration, you melt faces, but weak before that)2 -
thoraya✭Well, I hope we are not destroying your thread soulstorm
You suggest a 1/2/1 attribute build for bow/dual wield, focus more on weapon skills?tea0 -

Yes this is because with medium armor you dont have much of an issue with stamina and you should enchant all your armor with + Magic. I am at vet rank 2 now and am currently having no issues with my stat distrubution.0 -

Yeah I chose to respec to this at vet rank 2, it is really fun in pve and you have a ton of mobility, but i feel like you NEED siphoning strikes to make it viable.
