I'm guessing dual daggers do much better on an assassination. But I also think having a destruction spell in the off hand would be extremely useful. Any opinions for assassin players?

I'd say go with one dagger & a bow, dual wielding daggers is fairly weak, so in times where you get up close, you'd just switch out the dagger for a sword, then go back to the dagger when the fights over.

Not too sure on destruction as an assassin as i've never actually played a mage based class.

Alternatively you could just go with a full bow build, when your sneak is high enough you're able to snipe someone, quickly hide, wait for the remaining enemies awareness to drop, then repeat, though this can get tedious fast.


TL;DR i say just go with a bow & one handed dagger & sword.

bow. bet you didnt see that coming did you? neither will your enemies if you have a good aim and remain unseen.

I love that nobody has posted anything useful on your question....

Im playing a caster currently ive tried useing a one hander in order to raise the skill (trying to work my caster into an assassin myself) however with one hand casting magic your not getting the points that youve spent from the destruction tree (ie. the incredibly op stun) and i assume the same would apply to any points you put towards any sort of duel wield/two hander. As cool as it would be it just doesnt seemviable at this point in time.

Sorry dude
