I use it for mainly PvE but sometimes PvP.

Up your health to 16k for pve 20k to 23k for pvp and drop dagger use swords the dw passive for swords ups all damage every abilty not just dw skills and take the 8 points out of magic put them in stam if you're stam hybrid dont work it gimping you

Flyersfan314

I heard daggers were better fro crit damage? There is a dual wield ability that increased my critical rating with daggers.

Crit gives 50% more damage and you have 40% chance to cast swords up every abiltys damage all the time every dwer uses swords

Lordklinger

Weapon damage could be better. Are you running Hunding's Rage?

Flyersfan314

Yes I am running Hundings rage.

Flyersfan314

Each sword only gives 2.5% weapon damage. I am at almost 50% critical attack so I think daggers are my best bet.

Flyersfan314

How many points should I put into stamina/health/magica?

Scyantific

-Dual Swords with Precise, spec into Mighty Passive in the Mage Constellation
-Warrior Mundus Stone (warrior gives more damage overall compared to shadow)
-5pc Hundings/4pc Ashen Grip (replace this with 5pc Ravager's once you can get it)
-Start using Health+Stamina foods, dump all your points into Stamina for resources/skill damage

Flyersfan314

Thanks Scyantific. Why swords over daggers?

Flyersfan314

Also shouldn't I put points in damaged with swords as well as physical damage, because the more points I put into physical the less effective it becomes?

Lordklinger

Are you running flawless dawn breaker on your main bar? Also, I would put at least 30 points into physical damage before you start to move on. I agree with, Scientific. You need to dump more of your points into stamina and supplement with food. More stamina=more damage your abilities do.

It has been tested and proven that as long as you can have more than 50% crit WITHOUT daggers swords are better.

The shadow mundus stone becomes better than warrior once your crit is higher than 50%

Here is a link of somone who did all the math: http://tamrielfoundry.com/topic/nb-dual-wieldbow-pve-dps-build-1-6-6/

well Flyers take it from me, a stam crit build NB, that I am now slightly regretting going crit. I have 85% crit rate and 2.7k wep dmg, sounds decent, but with my crit dmg at about 70% im hitting for about 4k (im guessing) at an 85% rate. I have seen many sword builds with 3.5-5k wep dmg on console with over 50% crit rate. so they are hitting ALOT harder than me 50% of the time, and about the same the other 50%. And now for the icing on the cake, shields and bubbles are uncritable. so everytime a boss shields or I fight a warding mage in pvp I am gimping myself hard. Dmg is always better than crit once ur over 50%.

That being said I was able to do Vet DSA last night with my crit NB so If you really love daggers for rp purposes you can still be effective it just takes a good understanding of your class and fights. I will be making the change to swords sometime soon however. add me on PS4 and ill be happy to help you out PSN: Dilby-plata

Flyersfan314

I have 42 point sin stamina and 10 in health now. No I am not running Dawnbreaker. I will switch to swords eventually. I added you on PSN Dilby thanks. I have questions about which skills I should use.

Currently I am using, Shadowy Disguise, Suprise Attack, Ambush, Killers Blade, Reapers Mark, andSoul Harvest. Which of these should I keep? I have no AoE at the moment...

Drop shadowy disguise for steel tornado there is your boss aoe

Flyersfan314

I feel like if I drop shadowy disguise I should drop surprise attack too. Because I will no longer be able to go invisible to do the armor debuff to enemies.

The armor debuff works outside of stealth too.

Actually drop reapers mark instead for steel tornado. Mark and surprise do not stack

Flyersfan314

Shoot seriously? SO I should only be using one of mark or surprise? Also according to the description of surprise attack the major fracture armor debuff only works when stealthed or invisible.

Flyersfan314

Anyone have insight on this?

Reeko

Trust me, the tooltip is wrong. Zos even said so and is fixing it in IC patch. Dont drop surprise that is your main dps move. Again, read this guide.

Flyersfan314

Ok so SA works when I am not stealthed? I am reading the guide. Thanks.

Toomdad

Yes and you can verify this by observing the cracked health bar of the enemy while the debuff is active. Two major somethings do not stack but a major will stack with a minor such as momentum and grim focus for damage.

Flyersfan314

Ok I am going with his Jack of all trades build. Back to the shrine to redistribute skill points!
