Tired of 2-hander battles, I'm open to suggestions

Post » Sun Jun 10, 2012 12:47 am

Hi

My char is nearly level 27 and I have mainly specced him within 2-hander tree, plus natually some restoration to survive on the battlefield. I enjoyed the battles with 2 handed weapons - nice finishing moves and it's awesome being able to fight several enemies, but I am growing pretty tired of it. I suppose there is 1-hander (1h+shield or dual wield).

Let's say I decide levelling my 1-hander now, how long do you think it will take me before I can deal some decent damage? Or should I just stick to my 2-hander until I finish the game, and focus next sort of weapon or magic on my next playthrough?

I am just confused about, how many things a character can be good at in one playthrough. Naturally it's logical to use something that your character already is best at, but I am looking for variation and to freshen up the fun factor.

Personally I would just make a new character built for 1 handed, then play either one depending on if you want to use 2 hand or 1 hand.

Try increasing the difficulty and see if it forces you to try some new tactics.

depends on how many perks you have already invested in 2h. If you only have the good/necessary ones. (which would be 3-4). its no problem. But if you went full style and picked everything, well.. Max level is 81, so there are 81 perks which can be got. I would personally go with 1h+spell. Its a fast and dynamic style. dualwiel is an absolute overkill in this game. And 1h+shield was a bit too slow for my tastes. 1h+spell is where speed and danger is.

I forgot to mention that I plan on playing 2 other characters some day. One will be pure rogue/assassin and next one will be pure mage.
