Stamblade. Dual wield?

mrdankles

Dual Wield seems to be doing ok level 30 (66 CP). I also use a bow in off hand and chose a wood elf for the sneak and sneak attack with stealth damage. How viable will dual wield be at higher levels? Bow is pretty sweet for range but the damage from dual wield seems a little low. Only skill I really have from the weapon tree is the whirlwind and some passives. Mostly focus on assisination and shadow for the NB skills, also expert hunter and silver shards (love the genocide of stalking other vamps)

DW works but you kinda need a 2hander on your backbar for rally (20 % damage buff and a nice heal) you dont need to use any offensive abilities on your 2hand bar. i just use it as a buff stick

Dude... You're a Nighblade. You don't need weapon skills lol. The DW will give you more weapon damage than anything else. DW at higher levels will allow your surprise attacks to hit for insane amounts of damage. Bow is good for range and synergizes well with stamblades. As the person above me suggested, 2h is great for buff and heal. Do not judge DW by it's weapon skill line. It's so OP that even casters use it for the extra damage.

steel tornado and flying blades are awesome as you have spare WB slots anyway - and for solo pve the dot/hot is a nice addition (forgot its name first skill)

Exactly. Only thing you will ever need from DW is Steel Tornado and Flying Blade. Use class skills like Ambush and Surprise attack for damage.

When you're leveling, it really doesn't matter. When you get vet 16 google sypher. I make quite a killing with my dw/2h build based around his build.
