Questions about One-Handed Perks

Post » Tue Dec 06, 2011 5:32 pm

Fighting Stance, Armsman, Critical Charge, Savage Strike, Paralyzing Strike - All apply to dual wield as well right, or at least give the bonus to both individual weapons?

Bladesman - I'm pretty sure they do, but just to be safe, do Daggers get this bonus as well?

I think because I used dual wield daggers as im playing an assassin/thief, and i went to sneak attack a guy and ended up slashing his throat and he went to one knee then i did the gladiator decapitation with both daggers, it was awesome but idk how to get it to work again :(

Wiki says daggers are not affected by Bladesman perks. Do not know for sure.

I don't think Bladesmen perks are applied to daggers. They are more of a backstabbing weapon, more so than previously. I do think that the one-handed perks get applied to both weapons when dual wielding, though, just not for daggers (I could be wrong on this last point).

Savage Strike works with daggers. Haven't seen the crit damage from Bladesman do though.

Bladrsman does on some cases increase dagger damage and sometimes doesn't bthe new patch should fix this and I'm not surevwhich way they are changing it but you will know for sure then.

Ah well thanks, I hope they add daggers to it or else I just wasted perks.

Right. Each weapon is one-handed, so each gets affected by one-handed perks.

Bladesman - I'm pretty sure they do, but just to be safe, do Daggers get this bonus as well?


I haven't taken that perk myself, so I can't say with certainty whether daggers get crits, but notice that the perk description says it gives a crit chance with swords. A dagger is not a sword, so I would not expect daggers to be affected.

Given that I get a notification in the top left of my screen when my bow gets crits, I would expect that sword crits are also displayed there, in which case it would be easy to determine whether daggers also get crits from Bladesman: Take the perk, go through a few fights, and pay attention for crit notifications.
