2h-casting - how much stronger then 1h

Nemesis7884 · 11-06-2011, 07:07 AM

do we know how much stronger 2h is? i guess "stronger" means the effect...but i doubt it will be twice as strong?

Stronger as in you have 2 of the same spell being casted at the same time. So it probably uses up more mana but you get double the effect.

I wouldn't be surprised in at least a 50% increase in damage considering that you are left without a shield or a weapon.

hmmm dunno...because - assuming you can switch weapons fast and at will - it would make no sense at all to only 1h spellcast then - most spells you'd probably cast before or after combat... and even the destruction spells, would make more sense to dual-cast and then quickly switch back to your weapon (except maybe your carrying a shield and a spell)...?

2h weapons are (oblivion) around 15-30% stronger then 1h counterparts, so i'd assume its arount the same bonus...

Very, very boomy. Just pay attention to what foes you're against. Dark elves resist fire and nords resist cold for instance. If you're not doing alot of damage, switch what spell you're using.

Might be that the OP is asking whether the perk that results in 'overcharge' from dual casting is worth it, considering that the game is incredibly vague as to what that overcharge will achieve.
