Dual wield and armor : V

» Thu Sep 08, 2011 7:43 pm

I was wondering what will be the best armor choice for a dual wield fighter type? Light for speed or heavy to make up for having no shield?

Light hands down, because you can't dodge "in the traditional sense"!
So you'll need speed to evade the hits!

Light armor =)

think i would go light for speed. no defence just a savage relentless dual wielded assault.

Heavy. Always heavy.

Dual-Wield the armor as well!!

Sure go for light, except remember that you cant sprint backwards in Skyrim.

If I'm Dual Weilding, I'll be tanking out my character in Heavy Armor.

That's actually a really good question...I'm gonna dual-wield and I haven't thought about what armor to wear :nope:

Think I'll wait and see the perks for each... :hubbahubba:

But block... a proper nord wields 2 axes and wears heavy armor *g* So ideally the enemy is so afraid of your babaric appearance and offensive wild flailing that he is always in defensive ^^

Light armor, you can't block while dual-wielding, so you might as well be able to dodge.

id go with light just for quicker movements and evasion

i want to play a light warrior as well (but with sword and board). Anyone else hoping that we arent pigeonholed into using glass armor? I always think it looks horrible. Or elven for that matter. or deadric..lol.

Light armor. Because it looks cooler. :flamethrower:

I was going to say heavy cos that's probably what I'll pick up, but Light is a nice choice anyway. I suppose it depends of your gameplay...if you plan to play an "agile-type" warrior, who evades the enemy hits, or a tank who destroys everything in his path, nevermind how much damage he receives.

if you are used to wear heavy armor you can turn wheels without problem

lame rpg cliches...

I would definitely wear light armor, but it's really up to you, whether you want to wear light or heavy armor.

If no magic and no stealth I would try heavy armor first.

If you are wearing heavy armour, and thus slowed, may as well go the whole hog and carry a shield. You can't dodge or escape easily, may as well have an unassailable defence. Just make sure the other hand has a very big stick. For two weapons, and forgoing defense for attack speed, take light, move faster. Play to strengths, rather than using a half and half approach.

i dont think there is a "best" choice, its whatever you prefer... more defense, or more speed.

not everyone plays the same, so there is no single best choice for everyone.

» Fri Sep 09, 2011 5:12 am

Its your decision dude play how you want to play.

All the reason you need to not wear light armor sumed up in 4 words

hehe ^^
i don't think that either choice will be a bad one. Just do what you are comfortable with / what you like.
