If I glossed over it that was because stamina is largely unimportant. Note: I may or may not have disregarded any/all stamina-related discussion in this guide. If wearing heavy armor, increase the number of right-hand attacks accordingly and keep an eye on your stamina bar. You can chain this attack pattern even after your stamina has been depleted with normal stamina regeneration (while wearing light armor) since the timing works out that you will have at least 1 stamina by the time the next dual power attack comes up. Instead, save your dual attack for before as well as after your dual power attack (cuz delays).Дual power attack->dual attack->right x4/5/6->dual attack->dual power attack You should not use your dual normal attack (pressing right+left simulataneously) consecutively as it cannot be used in rapid-succession (rather the delay between consecutive dual attacks is longer than the delay between consecutive right-hand attacks). Pepper in a few dual power attacks to stagger as needed (cuz stamina costs). Do not EVER use your left-hand attack as the Dragonborn is right-handed and your left-hand attacks are inherently slower (cuz animations). No seriously, spam your right-hand attack. Note: This is only after you have Smithing 100 and all relevant perks as well as Enchanting 100 and all relevant perks of course.Д¬lose in on your enemy as quickly as possible (juking arrows/spells along the way) and spam RT to win!! Ideally you should have a Legendary Dragonbone Dagger equipped in your off-hand and a Legendary Deadric Sword in your main-hand-both double enchanted.

I know I said previously that you should have a dagger equipped in your off-hand, but forget that!! With a bound sword as your off-hand weapon, base damage = 24 and weight = 0 which is an INSANE improvement (nearly double the damage with no weight) Why Bound Swords? Because they have a weight of 0 and a base damage (with the Mystic Binding perk) of 24, which is the equivalent of a WEIGHTLESS Deadric sword!! Until you have mastered Smithing and Enchanting you're better off using a Bound Sword in each hand. More on that in the next section.Дual wielding is best done when equipped with fully upgraded and enchanted mundane weapons, but that also requires a TON of perks. However, I do not recommend using Deadric weapons as there is a better option available. NOTE: Although Dragon Bone weapons have the highest base damage, they are substantially heavier (reducing attack speed and increasing stamina consumption) than any other weapon and therefore it may be better to opt for Deadric weapons instead. My personal preference is to go lightly armored and maximize attack speed, and this is MY guide, so deal with it -w.

I favor attack speed over damage (cuz DPS) so this guide will explain how to optimize dual-wielding in the interest of attack speed, however you could forgo the off-hand dagger and trade speed for damage by dual-wielding swords or axes (maces?! whatever) depending on your personal preference. In the interest of conserving stamina, you'd want to equip the lightest weapon possible in your main-hand, however there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to conserve stamina. dagger) in order to reduce stamina costs for your left-handed power attacks, however you don't ever want to attack with your left-hand.

Therefore, you could equip a lighter weapon in your main-hand (i.e. In the case of dual-wielding, stamina costs FOR BOTH HANDS is based on the MAIN-HAND weapon ONLY (Credit goes to Jesse.1110). The stamina cost of your power attacks (as is always the case regardless of wield-style or weapon-type) is based on the weight of the weapon you are using. Therefore, in the interest of increasing damage, you'll want the highest base damage weapon combination possible. The damage (when attacking with both weapons simulataneously as with the dual-wielding normal attack-pressing both right and left attack-or the dual-wielding power attack-pressing and holding both left and right attack) is based on the damage of both weapons. This is why it is recommended to equip a dagger in the off-hand they are the lightest one-handed weapons in the game and therefore impart the highest attack speed/lowest penalty to attack speed. The speed of your attacks, for example, is based on the weight of the weapon in your off-hand (left). Dual-wielding is not as simple as equipping weapons in both hands simultaneously.
