    Well, I voted for destro just because that matches my current main the best.

    But Bow & Dual wield is probably what I actually prefer in the long run, once the NB & stamina builds are fully balanced.

    2H for actually using weapon skills and attacks.
    1H+Shield for the defensive passives.
    ... Resto staff for spellpower based skills o:)

    So my Orc DK is 2H/1H+Sh.
    And my Breton NB siphoner is Resto/1H+Sh :p

    Opinions are like buttholes : Everybody has one, and they usually stink.

    3 things to reduce stamina/magicka imbalance :
    - Use magicka to block abilities costing magicka, instead of stamina.
    - Add % damage reduction to heavy armor.
    - Add block penetration to 2H.

    I dont really have a fav weapon, if they had polearms , it would be that.

    The one weapon i never play without is the resto staff, helps in general.

    Sword and shield, obviously.

    I do play my sorc with a destruction staff, but all the others are sword and shield.

    i would vote for one-handed sword only , i don't think they should have removed the one-handed only play style from the game.Not being able to use any one-handed/shield skills while using a one-handed weapon only is annoying and i hope they add it back in

    I think the DK + Fire staff thing has already been nerfed when they nerfed molten whip's ability to increase fire damage of everything. What it should say is "I'm a dunmar and like things handed to me"

    Weapons are for wimps. My vampire witch kills things with her mind.

    Seriously, I don't use em' much. My fire staff is just for show and I only fire it in between, actual damage dealing spells and when we run dry. That is rare, magic regen is seriously sotcapped. ;)

    I have a DK and he is fun with the shield bash and a nice sword but I have not taken him far yet.

    I don't like the way the poll questions are worded so instead of choosing an option I'll just say the restro staff is my fav. I like the passives, I like how it enables any of my toons to heal (self or group), and helps restore magika.

    Stamina builds are worthless compared to magika builds... I refuse to self gimp just because I want to "roleplay". However, if the stamina builds ever get fixed, I do really like the idea of the two-handed weapon line as well as dual wield... Bows are kinda cool too, just wish one didn't have an "unlimited" supply of arrows... Or atleast allow players to switch quivers for flaming arrows or something cool like that...

    Bow
    would have been nice if the snarky remarks were left out. but bow is my favorite. I just have more fun sniping people from a distance than I do charging them with a melee weapon(though I do find one handed and shield pretty fun as well). and staves bore me, so that's out.

    I actually prefer a crossbow, but of course there isn't one. I do spam SilverBolts for the sake of wistfulness, though. I love my stealthy goodness, but really it doesn't seem to work well for me in this game so, even though bows are my favorite, I use my second favorite: a pair of daggers.
