Daggers vs. Swords vs. Maces vs. Axes ?

Hello everyone I have a question about what weapons with the last dual wield passive give the biggest bonus for PVP? has anyone tested this? Ive heard some people say go maces and some people say go swords. Not sure what to do

They're all fairly similar in strength it's largely personal preference. If your going to use axe, most suggest only one as it gives plenty of bleed uptime. Many prefer maces, me I prefer daggers as I like burst damage. Remember that people use impenetrable gear and shieldds to reduce crit. Swords are kinda jack of all trades that always provide a bonus, though a weaker one than the other options imo.

Best advice i could give, use what you want to use. In all honesty they are all situational.

If you get killed by magicka classes a lot, use Swords.
If you get killed by Tanky players, use Mace's.

Axe's and Dagger's are not really as class specific as Sword's and Mace's. Axe's do provide a decent amount of DoT, which could be good when trying to apply pressure ( I have heard the DoT goes though Shield's instead of damaging Shield's. Not sure if this is true or not.).

Dagger's just give you some more critical chance. Which is not effective against Shielded players since you cannot critically hit them. However in my experience with Daggers, whenever someone does not have a shield active and i lay down a good combo... if it all critically hits (which happens often) i will kill very fast. That's why i use Dagger's.

So i would just use what you want. Sword's are probably the best in PvP for all around situation's but for an assassin player like me, daggers fit the bill. There is also something called Style-Point's

If your magicka use 2 swords.

If your stamina use 2 maces.

darn. I upgraded one of my 2 leki swords to gold the other week. do you think it would be worth it to spend the extra gold to get 2 leki maces(6k) and the upgrade cost (50k) to switch? or does it not make that big of a difference?

Use 1 and 1 not a major difference I tried it both ways couldn't tell any difference
