What is your weapon of choice

gazzbazz · April 2014

On skyrim my weapon of choice is bow but I'm not sure about online. What do others think and what do you like

I love the bow on my NB Archer build. But at the same time I have a NB Fire-Destro staff alt that I'm enjoying as well. The one thing NB-Bow has going for them atm is VERY high burst damage. We can start with a sneaking heavy attack like in other ES games and farther along in level you can go invisible for a short duration and hit with a HUGE crit heavy attack as well. The sustained "dps" for bow isn't amazing though so that might be why some feel it's lackluster in ESO.

If it were available, polearm. I love spears/polearms, and use them in any game where I'm able.

That not being the case with ESO, however, I prefer other 2h weapon types. Currently my nightblade is using a greatsword (redguard, the giant scimitar look goes well with khajiit leather armor) and my templar is using a nord maul. My dragonknight pyromancer uses a high elf destruction staff, since it at least looks kinda spear-like with the bladed end =P

Sword and shield, unless playing a sorceror wre it's a staff.
Would like a Deadric style lightsaber, like the mod for skyrim gave, but I know why that will never happen.

bow, but that's likely to change.

i'd like destruction a bit better if it didn't leave your only option for stamina usage as silver bolts. i really like the restoration staff too, zeni did a good job of making a healer class fun.
