Some, such as Jenassa, will dual wield any two weapons when in range of an enemy. Other characters can dual wield, but the conditions under which they will do so are very particular. As such, it should probably be avoided until enough magicka reserves(or casting cost reducing gear) is obtained, with the possible exception of Destruction Dual Casting, which is required to use the Impact perk. It should be noted that dual casting is only marginally more effective than casting independently with both hands(10% better spell effect) while at the same time being noticeably more magicka-intensive (40% higher magicka cost than when cast independently with both hands). The effect of dual cast depends on school - destruction spells deal more damage, conjuration spells last longer, restoration spells heal more, illusion spells work on higher level creatures and people, and so on. Dual casting a spell works just like dual attacking weapons - by pressing both left and right hand attack buttons simultaneously. You can cast any combination of spells that require only one hand to cast.ĭual wielding the same spell can be improved if the Dual Casting perk of the appropriate school is unlocked. This is especially noticeable when attack speed is improved, either by the Dual Flurry perk or by the Elemental Fury shout.ĭual wielding different spells works just as if the spells were cast in any other way. While visually appealing, the time it takes to flip the dagger on every power attack decreases overall damage output.
The stamina used for dual wielding power attack is based on the weight of the weapon in the right hand only.ĭual wielding daggers results in a special power attack animation in which the Dragonborn first flips the dagger held in the right hand before performing the actual attack. The dual wielding power attack hits three times however, for a total of 150% extra damage and 150% stamina cost.
Note that you cannot move when performing the dual attack.ĭual wielding power attacks do 50% extra damage and the stamina cost is half of what is needed for a regular power attack. The speed of the attack is based on (but not equal to) weapon speed held in the left hand, so it is advisable to always hold the faster weapon in the left hand. The damage, reach, stagger and any enchantments are calculated separately for each weapon. All four attack types are affected by the Dual Flurry perk.Īttacking with both weapons simultaneously does not consume stamina and as such is an easy and effective way of increasing the damage output. When dual wielding weapons, the Dragonborn has four options of attack: attacking either with left or right weapon, attacking with both weapons simultaneously (by pressing both attack buttons at the same time) and performing a dual wielding power attack.
