Ebony Blade still glitched? Stuck at 33 damage, won't increa : V

» Fri Jun 22, 2012 5:27 pm

Title says it all. My one handed skill and two handed are both fully perked and at 100. The ladies damage is a whopping 33, even after upgrading? It was 33 when I got it, killed two followers, the woman spoke... And it's still 33 ? Lol?

I think the leech enchantment damage only goes up. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Lol, wait. So you're telling me that a daedric artifacts base damage is less than a steel claymore? Lol?

» Fri Jun 22, 2012 7:19 pm

I'm pretty sure the unique weapons are scaled so it all depends on when you start the quest.

So my Daedric Warhammer is at 288 damage and a Daedric Artifact, the legendary Ebony Blade, does a trivial 33 damage? Lol? And that's intended?

You literall cant even use that. Like, actually cannot use it. I tried. I nearly died on expert raiding a bandit fort while using it. It took near 3 minutes to kill the chief.

You need to kill those who ''deceive''

maybe if you looked at DPS? warhammers are very slow....and is it possible that any damage is being placed away in an enchantment rather than in the base damage?

You upgraded it? Whats your smith at? Even ebony daggers I upgrade do over 60 damage so something is definitely wrong with your game. I think I can upfrade an iron dagger passed that with smith potions.

You cannot upgrade the Ebony Blade through smithing.

Yes, it has a low base damage but it's very powerful. After you've killed 10 people who trust you, it absorbs 30 points of health with each hit. Also, it swings almost as fast as a one handed sword.

do dark brotherhood initiates count as trusted??

Unless he can hit an enemy over 8 times with a weapon with base damage of 33 in a time period that takes a warhemmer to hit once I doubt it'll top a warhammer of 288 base damage. Even with enchantment, + You can enchant/find a warhammer that absorbs HP as well, in fact you can enchant a warhammer to absorb HP AND do one more thing.

It's true that most artifacts are obsolete after you're an end game character but that's both good and bad, they shouldn't be so powerful that it's the 1st thing people will go after once they start a new character.

Which is not a lot unless you find it earlier in the game.

I'm not really concerned with the enchantment, it's the fact that one swing does about 1/40th of an enemies hp. That's a tad ridiculous.

» Fri Jun 22, 2012 12:50 pm

Didn't you know? Upgrading stuff is optional. They designed the game to be beat with all un-upgraded gear, that's why people complain the game is too easy, they expected us to play without upgrading anything.

I hope that isn't taken seriously.

Daedric weapons svck when you start getting into higher levels. Make your own and enchant them, they are a lot better.

» Fri Jun 22, 2012 10:26 pm

steel claymore's base damage is more like 12, unupgraded, next to no skills and no perks. how you upgrade the ebony blade is by killing your friends. you heard me right. those sweet people you did those favors for just so they'd like you and give you gifts. You have to kill ten of them. Each time you do, Mephala will praise you and the enchantment gets stronger.. until eventualy you're swinging the thing and barely having to touch a health potion ever.

30 points of absorb health is pretty good, especially since the enchantment is unlimited and you can swing it pretty fast. If you're always healing and always dishing damage, you'd do well in a fight.

not alot? How much health do enemies have? 30 hp leech and 33 damage per swing, that thing is still eating someone to death in less than 2 seconds... whats trivial is your assumption on how useless the weapon is.

If you dont like it dont use it... all special weapons are outclassed by smithing and enchanting sadly

» Fri Jun 22, 2012 11:13 pm

also... role play much?

» Fri Jun 22, 2012 3:17 pm

No matter what, your created stuff will be better than anything else in the game, AFAIK
Except that one Peryite shield, it's pretty good

Try playing on master and then tell me how your "eating someone to death in less than 2 seconds" went.

also... role play much?

I do, the guy was just flapping with statistics which were obviously wrong. Not sure how did you "found out" about my playing style in the process.

i was more or less talking to the OP sorry for the confusion. I really am not used to the quote system here

» Fri Jun 22, 2012 2:17 pm

Just the same it is kinda crap how you can't sharpen the Ebony Blade.. or any number of other weapons. I mean a skyforged dagger can't be sharpened? really?!

» Fri Jun 22, 2012 2:09 pm

Its balanced so it can't get upgraded. The weapon is very strong with no recharging necessary. If smithing didn't impact the damage of weapons so much the daedric artifacts would actually be good.
