The Most Underrated Weapon

Post » Thu Jun 07, 2012 10:03 pm

Windshear

Even with no perks in the 1H tree this weapon stuns the enemy with every swipe preventing them from attacking (Great against Draugr Deathlords) as well as having the chance to knock down anyone who is bashed with it resulting in easy wins when played out upon a cliff. I think it is the most underrated weapon in the game but i would like to hear if anyone finds another weapon to fit that title

Plus you can power attack every time and heal stamina while it's powered up.

True and that's very useful

I forget the name but the Draugr in Labyrinthian carry them. They absorb stamina. On the surface it doesn't seem like much but all you need is one stamina to be able to power attack. This allows you to power attack continuously. It's handy for anyone using any kind of hand held weapon but when I had a character who had this enchantment on her warhammers it was devastating. WIth never having boosted stamina a single time during leveling up she could perpetually smash in skulls and knock people's heads off. It was great.

I didn't even know this weapon existed. Just googled it, and I must say....that's an awesome weapon.

Default (unenchanted weapons): scimitairs. With a base damage of 11, they're every bit as good as a plain Akaviri Blade or Elven sword and it's possible to get them already at lvl 1, should you stumble upon a pair of Redguard warriors.

Magic weapon: Chillrend at lvl 46+ The enchantment is not the best, considering the innate resistance to frost of many enemies in Skyrim but the base damage is equal to that of a Daedric Axe with the speed of a sword.

Agreed, but the glitch that makes the whole thing pulsate red instead of just the "eye" bugs me too much.

I agree OP, windshear is awesome.

Mine is Valdr's lucky dagger. Sneak attack criticals and regular criticals are treated separately in Skyrim, so both can be obtained at once, and they're especially likely with this. It's insanely useful when combined with Assassin's Blade.

Guess I'll list my fave weapon: The LongHammer.

Two handed orcish warhammer that can be upgraded to legendary with an enchantment that allows it to swing at the same speed as a 1 handed sword. Can also be enchanted twice on top of its unique enchantment.

It smashes foes in record time.

Also this, it has a higher DPS than a daedric warhammer, according to UESP.

THIS

Enchanted it with fire and ice on top of the speed enchant the weapon itself already has. I call it Godbreaker.
