Best weapon for PvP Vampire/WW slaying?

21jws10

Bow is obviously my ranged choice, as I'll be stamina based due to using lots of fighter's guild abilities. What I cant decide between Is what other weapon to use, it's between 2h and 1h+S, I am not particularly proficient in dual wield. What are the pros and cons for these weapons and their relevance to my purpose? I would be happy if noone told me this is a waste of time, as a lot have, I find it enjoyable, as by extension I am killing not only the inflicted, but the scammers that plague some of the ones looking for this infection, restricting me from getting more creatures to kill..

Many thanks,

Oh and what are the best abilities for this purpose on the bow and the other weapons? I'm leaning more to 1h+S as I like the survivability.

Best weapon for pvp vamp/ww killing is dawnbreaker

But to answer your question, 2h has a high dmg kb skill (wrecking blow), a gap closer (critical rush), a good execution (executioner)

Dual wield has the best aoe in the game (steel tornado) and good damage increasing passives, also the base dmg is higher with DW

S+B is only for tanks pretty much, though magicka dk's put it to good use

Honestly is depends on your class.

Oh and what are the best abilities for this purpose on the bow and the other weapons? I'd rather use 2h than dual wield, what type of weapon would be best against the creatures? sword for damage? or axe for bleeds?. I am fairly unsure of class, what would work in conjunction with using the fighter's guild abilities? Passive wise and stamina morph wise.

I personally started hunting WW in pvp and if I see a vamp skill I run straight to them.

I user fighter guild abilities silver bolts with expert hunter activated. I have skilled tracker and slayer maxed as passives. I am a DK dual wield with high amounts of stamina. I completely unload all my stam with silver bolts and switch to a destroy staff where I hit them with Weakness to elements, destructive touch and run through all my magika with force shock.

I haven't included my morphs bc it will depend on your character setup.

I will be honest I rarely get through the destruction staff. They are dead, running or finished off by others.

Yeah I think I wont be too dependent on class skills due to 2h, bow and the fighter's guild catering for my needs, so that leaves those class passives which don't require the skills. I particularly don't like playing templar, but if the suit fits, I'll do it.
The competition is between the following:

DK

1. Iron Skin- Block an additional (5-10%) damage.
2. Scaled Armor- Increases spell resistance by X
3. Battle Roar- Activating an ultimate restores health, magicka, and stamina in amount increased by (35-70%) of the ultimate's cost

NB

1. Master Assassin- Increases weapon and spell damage while invisible or stealthed by 10%. Successful stealthed attacks stun for 100% longer.
2. Refreshing Shadows- Increases stamina regeneration by 30%.
3. Catalyst- After drinking a potion you gain 8 Ultimate

Sorc

1. Unholy Knowledge- Reduces magicka and stamina costs for all abilities by 5%.
2. Power Stone- Reduces the cost of ultimate abilities by 15%.
3. Capacitor- Reduces magicka recovery by 10%.

Temp

1. Piercing Spear- Increases the damage bonus for your critical strikes by 10% and your damage against blocking targets by (5-10%).
2. Spear Wall- Increases the amount of damage you block against melee attacks by (7-15%).
3. Balanced Warrior- Increases your weapon damage by (3-6%) and your spell resistance by X.
4. Restoring Spirit- Reduces magicka, stamina and ultimate ability cost by (2-4%)
5. Master Ritualist- Increased resurrection speed by (10-20%), resurrected allies return with (50-100%) more health and gives you a 50% chance to gain a soul gem after each successful resurrection.

So, which from these match best with a stamina based Imperial using primarily fighter's guild abilities along with the weapon ones, 2h and bow, most likely.

Thoughts?

Which class passives sound most useful in conjunction with the stated features of my build? It's quite difficult to decide..

Brightxdawn

Fighters guild passive tracker.

I meant which class has the best passives above for the purpose of this build..

Stravokov

Vampires: Wooden Stake

Werewolves: Silver Arrow

@Stravokov what is "wodden"?

Is it worth going DK for the stamina flame abilities? For the vamps, or does their resist render it not worth it? (from jewellery)
