bound weapons : V

» Mon Dec 12, 2011 8:37 am

after playing through the game as an archer i rerolled a mage, and a warrior...but im thinking about making some sort of hybrid next. so ive been thinking about bound weapons, but do they actually work? what i mean is...

say u go something like heavy armor, conjuration, 1 handed for ur main skills. im thinking of using 2x bound sword cos it looks really cool. anyway, as i use the swords, my 1 handed skill goes up. which improves the dmg of my swords. but what about the bound swords themselves? is their damage fixed, or does it go up when conjuration skill goes up? cos ive looked at the strategy guide and it doesnt say how much damage the bound sword does. what i mean is like say the bound sword was equal to a steel sword, that would be ok for early levels but later on even with 1 handed skill it would be like im using non enchanted steel swords...which doesnt work. so does the base damage of the bound weapon go up as your conjuration goes up? that would make sense, and this character build would be somewhat viable...so anyone know?

If you take the +damage perk for them they equal daedric weapons.

get perk that ups there damage. then get ones that auto kill summoned enemies and soul trap automatically and they are the best unenchanted weapons in the game

Enjoying a _lot_ my lvl 25 sneaky archer with bound bow, so YES, it works very nicely (being able to summon the Frost Atronach is also a plus for close encounters).

I have so many filled sould gems I don't know what to do with them =P

ok, thanks for the info, sounds good. but are u guys saying that it is in fact fixed damage no matter what ur conjuration skill, UNTIL u get the perk...then it equals daedra. which is nice. also i was planning to use the elemental fury shout, but will that work on bound weapons? cos what it actually does is it enchants ur weapon with something like "+10 elemental fury", whatever its called...so it wont work on weapons that are already enchanted, and since u cant enchant bound weapons, and it seems the shout counts as an enchant..will it let u cast this with bound weapons?

sorry if u have to read that paragraph 10 times to make sense of it but im really tired
