Enchanting a Stamina Neutral Weapon

Post » Thu May 31, 2012 9:56 pm

Is it possible to enchant a weapon(s) with enough of an absorb stamina effect to avoid having to invest in stamina? It seems that with the amount of swings you can get out of your standard dual-wielding power attack, you could put just enough absorb stamina enchantment on your weapons to make them stamina-neutral. Anyone had any luck with this?

You only need to have 1 stamina to execute a power attack, even when dual wielding, so stick an absorb 1 stamina enchant on your weapon and you can power attack indefinetely.

It's not possible to make an enchant powerful enough to keep your stamina bar at 100% though.

Seriously? That works? Holy wow. Alright, excellent. Any idea how many charges you can get out of that? Does soultrap have to be at a certain level to trap higher level enemies, or should I go for the minimum enchantment on that as well?

3929 charges, on my newly enchanted Pickaxe of Stamina Absorb :P

Yep, the Soul Trap magnitude only affects duration, so you can go with a 1-sec enchant there as well. That gives 3776 charges for Soul Trap and 3246 for Fiery Soul Trap

So that is insane. Where does one obtain Fiery Soul Trap?

You can find a weapon with it in http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Ironbind_Barrow. Some have reported finding it on vendor-bought weapons, but I'm guessing that's super rare.

So that is sick. Sweet baby Jesus that is awesome. 10 Fire damage, Soul Trap and infinite power attacks. Herp-Derp, I think my brain just melted. Thank you for the insights!

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Steel_Battleaxe_of_Fiery_Souls#Steel_Battleaxe_of_Fiery_Souls Very cool. So I wonder does the fire damage and the soul trap count as one enchant when you have 'Extra Effect' perk at 100 chanting?

From my understanding it does. Also, no matter how low you make the Soul Trap enchantment, it always has the same base fire damage of 10. Bonkers.

Yep, you can put another enchant on a weapon with fiery soul trap, with the ultimate enchanting perk.
