2h or DW for stamblade?

DraggOOn_021
My main character is a cp210 vampire stamblade (khajiti) I'm gonna mostly do pve aswell as a little pvp in there mostly for alliance points to get motifs tho, I really like the style of DW but then people say rally is extremely effective. So what so I do?

    There are a lot of setups, but for PvE I go DW front bar, Bow back bar. PvP I go 2H front bar, DW or Bow back bar.

    That'll work in Cyrodiil, too, just make sure you account for your resistances somewhere ... whether that's a gear swap, adjusting CP, or both.

    For PvE: Dual Wield since you can stack more weapon critical, by using daggers on one or both hands.
    Por PvP: Two Handed, so you can use Rally for heals and getting Major Brutality, and thus be able to use other potions, and not depend on the weapon power ones. Also Executioner begins scaling bonus damage below 50%, while Killer's Blade scales only below 25% so you can use the former instead.

    There are more than enough skill points easily accessible to spec Bow, 2H, and 2W so you don't have to chose. I suggest to start with 2H as you level though, to get access to those buffs and healing cheaply, while you don't do hard content.

    well I do have 2H 50 and dual wield around 38. So when I'm switching what i'm doing I gear swap and maybe change champion point allocations. even though it will take way more skill points, Thanks guys!

    For PVE unless you're a Necromancer or a Sorcerer go DW

    For PVP it's all about build, but generally DW is only for buffing
    Jack of all trades. Master of at least one.
