    I would say it depends, but I see a lot of guys running 1 mace, 1 sword for what it's worth.
    I run dual daggers on my stam sorc because the crits keep her alive, but I run dual maces on my nightblade (if you haven't seen dual argonian maces on an argonian you missed out).

    I would probably run 1 sword 1 mace for dps, but I imagine that 2 swords would be better on certain fights.

    A few people say Dagger + Mace for high crit builds.

    This is because apparently the Twin Blade and Blunt passive is bugged for swords (hoo boy what a surprise).

    Double Maces against bosses / heavy armour users, double daggers against trash / light armour users, mace + dagger if you want to fight both without switching weapons.
    Swords provide much less extra damage than it says in the tooltip and axes cancel out the dot if you do more than one attack every 2 sec, so both of them are useless.

    So duel swords/axes are no good?

    Is it better to go duel daggers/mace?

    Exactly.
    What? Lead? Me? No, no, no. No leading. Bad things happen when I lead. We get lost, people die, and the next thing you know I’m stranded somewhere without any pants.
