Anyone dual wielding absorb life weapons?

Post » Sun Jun 10, 2012 12:20 am

Just wondering. I enchanted a 2h Greatsword with Absorb Life for shiggles (18 points of health on hit) and on Expert difficulty it felt really, really powerful. I'm just wanted to hear from the people who have it enchanted on 2 blades with the "flurry" (faster dual attacks) perk. How OP is this enchant?

Well, it works :) I use absorb health with my spellsword, just one blade is adequate. Using 2 just make sure you keep clicking and youll be fine. Only downside is they eat charges rather quickly- as if soul gems are hard to come by.

Dual wielding absorb health w/absorb stamina on one is golden. Add dual flurry and you shoukdn't need a potion again.

I had a DW warrior that had all the speed perks. I also had both enchanted. One with Absorb Health 10 pts / Soultrap 2 sec and the other with Absorb Health 10 pts / Fire Damage 15 pts. It wasn't incredibly OPd but it did save her life a few times.

I used Nightingale Sword + Dagger of Woe for a while and it was quite effective, but personally I don't use absorption enchants as I don't like the look of the effect.

As an assassin, I use Dual Daedric Daggers. I have one enchanted with Absorb Stamina, and one with Absorb Health and both also have Fire damage on them. As mentioned though, they both completely eat up charges. But a few humans and The Black Star work like a charm for that purpose. :3

Absorb Health is really good though, and one of the best enchants for Expert/Master. Absorb Stamina too, for endless power attacks.

I tried using absorb health and I want to like it, but on master there is so much spike damage, absorb health just doesn't cut it when I need it too.

It's like someone said a few days ago here, casting healing spells is really helpful for characters that aren't taking a lot of big damage. In other words, sword and board, max armor characters. The same goes for absorb health. If I'm dual wielding, I usually go elemental damage and paralyze.
