Just curious what most peoples' preferred weapons are. From reading this forum it seems like most people enjoy going the sneak route and prefer bows and daggers, but I love to hear about builds and the weapons people use to compliment them.
I've been using a sword and shield.
The sword does less damage than the other one handed weapons, the axe and mace, but it swings faster. I prefer to have the speed over the damage because I can land more hits after I stun the enemy with my shield.
Though I like the sound of the extra damage from the enemy bleeding perks you can get in the axe and battle axe trees, and I really like the sound of the mace and warhammer perks that negate the enemy's armor.
Does anyone have experience with those they can share? Does the bleeding damage from axes and battleaxes make a big difference?
I'm really tempted to re roll as a Nord specializing in Warhammers and dump all my points into health and stamina, neglecting magic completely, so I have the stamina for multiple power attacks and have the health to make up for not having a shield. Having enough stamina for multiple power attacks with a warhammer that ignores 75% of the enemy's armor sounds like it could be fun...
So what is your preferred weapon? How do you use it and what do you do with your build to compliment it?
