New NB! HELP pls, 2H stealth mechanics, TP/AB vs. Exe/Stamp, among other things
Hey! I'm speccing my NB kind of like Conan the barbarian - medium armor, 2 hander, stealthy af (at least in the REH original books)
And I'm just wondering how sneak attack damage is applied for 2 handers, or if it is even possible, because I ALWAYS lose my "sneak" reticule just before I execute the attacke.
Regardless, I notice that if I successfully pull off a heavy attack from sneak with a two hander, the target will be knocked down despite being spotted right before the animation, but I'm not necessarily convinced that I'm doing extra damage. Furthermore, do I need to do a full power attack from sneak in order to do full sneak damage?
Additionally, if I spec into stampede as well as executioner, will I need to put points into teleport strike and assassin blade (I feel like these essentially do the same thing).
Also, can I pull of a sneak attack (heavy) from shadow power (where u go temp invisi), without having to use strife?
Thanks for the answers,
Sincerely, a noob.

Gisgo✭✭✭✭✭Man i swear i tried... my english isnt up to the task today and everything i typed didnt make sense.
Yes 2 handed and sneak attack do work together (quite well, too).
Yes stampede and teleport strike are redundant, but i still suggest you to aquire and try both.
Sneaking and being invisible are two different statuses, only sneaking will grant you a sneak attack bonus.
I didnt understand the "strife" part, if im not mistaken strife is a spell and does not benefit from the sneak bonus.
Someone else will explain better.Edited by Gisgo on 11 June 2014 14:380 -

If u use strife while invis, you stun and im pretty sure do extra dmg?
How do heavy attacks work from sneak? Do I have to fully charge? In beta I could semi charge.0 -

Thats a new for me, but i havent used strife in a long time so who knows.
I dont know if you have to fully charge, im DW, but if i was 2h i would start with Uppercut for the LOL factor

Also, is speccing into teleport strike and assassin blade worth it if I'm picking up executioner and stampede in the 2H tree?0 -

Tough question.
Imho its not worth to have two executioners and/or two gap closers on the same bar, but its worth to have them all in your arsenal so you can experiment different builds.
Its a matter of stamina/magicka management and you have to find the right skillbar for your playstyle.
