Dual Wield vs 2hand?

Tykune · July 2016

I'm looking for what weapons to take into pve and pvp as a stamina nightblade, but I am confused as to whether some people prefer dual wield while others have a preference to two handed weapons. Can someone give me the whole low-down as to the reasoning behind this?

First you can use both, I've seen several post by people who use DW /2H. I think the main reason most pick 2H over DW is for the heal from rally or vigor don't 2H so can't remember which is 2H and which is pvp assault skill. Read threw the skill lines and passives and see which one suits the way you want to play. DW now has a better heal with the flurry morph bloodcraze been using it since db drop and has worked well for me.

PVE - DW and Bow
PVP - 2h and Bow or 2h and DW

I'd say chose the one you enjoy using more. What Shader wrote is probably the best combination at the moment, but I wouldn't say the difference is too big to matter that much, unless you're a crazed min maxer

I think nightblade and possibly stamplar are the classes where DW in pvp is most feasible. Both have a gap closer and both have a good spamable dps ability. For both it only really works out after vigor is unlocked.
