Which weapon spell/ability has the best execute ?

vpy

Can someone tell me which melee weapon ability/spell has the strongest execute (does more damage if the mob is low at health) ?

Well there's only two. Whirlwind(dualwield) is better AoE and Reverse Slash(twohanded) which is better single-target.
1h&shield has no execute and bow/staves are ranged.

The only other melee range execute is Killer's Blade for nightblades, which uniquely deals disease damage instead of physical. Dragonknights have no execute, Templar only has a ranged one (and no stamina morph for it), and sorcerers have a chance to deal extra damage to low hp enemies passively(their class execute is magicka and ranged only, like templar).

Impale, the magic morph. Its basically a killers blade that doesnt need to be used with you in someones face.

Radiant Destruction, in Dawn's Wrath skills. Widely considered to be the, or one of, strongest execute in the game. It's long range, it's channeled and the Radiant Oppresion morph also deals damage based off of your current magicka %

@ArchMikem The question was about melee executes, specifically ones in weapons. ^^

it seems with Kvatch Gladiator 5 pcs. you will have an execute each time your light attacks deal crit damage .
Here on my lvl12 Orc, 2-nd set is 4 pcs. Night Mother, DW swords, random low lvl green jewellery, most passives not yet unlocked. Didn't know it hits so hard...without crit it's ~8k damage.

Wonder how that works for a Pelinals build. Gotta find out if that becomes 1800 spell damage too.

Edit: Never mind, with destro staff can't run Pelinals with it as they are both crafted sets.

I wonder what would be crit damage with this set and:
- jewellery and weapons 5 pcs. Queen's Elegance (Elegant set)
- 2 pcs. Molag Kena monster
- Warrior Mundus Stone
- and the other passives

Should be a nice execute with a high crit Chance, espcially that costs no stamina .

Nah, that's class ability (Mage's Wrath Explosion is the most powerful execute of all time.)

EDIT：i misread, blame me...
Executioner (Twohanded) is the best weapon Execute ability imo.

Gargath

Executioner, true, but what about Dual Wield or 1H/Shield on stamina DK, these have no real execute and Kvatch Gladiator provides it without any resource cost.
In DW the Hidden Blade and Whirlwind are good for killing wounded but cost a lot and damage is not that high.
Also personally I see a lot more pleasure to level 1H/Shield with this set.
