| Mar 16, 2017 at 20:57 | comment | added | Fluidized Pigeon Reactor | @theJollySin I am pretty sure that the answer doesn't take into that into account. I would suggest that the answer also noted that you can kind of double your dps when using one handed weapons, and furthermore, the are 2 duel wielding perks which GREATLY increases DPS Furthermore, +46 is not the highest you can get without exploits. With the black books in the dragonborn DLC, you can get to +44% (or was it 42%) smithing, and a potion that gives +170% ish smithing. Not sure how relevant that is though. | |

| Aug 7, 2012 at 21:23 | comment | added | kotekzot | @Anderson I'm not sure how to calculate that. if anybody knows how long different weapons take to do a power attack I might be able to figure it out. DavidB has got some data on power attacks, but it appears to be damage per hit, not DPS. | |
| Aug 7, 2012 at 18:41 | comment | added | oscilatingcretin | That's a good question. The outcome could determine whether or not it's even beneficial to use a power attack. | |
| Aug 7, 2012 at 17:52 | comment | added | Anderson | How do DPS ratios hold up if you do power attacks instead of regular attacks? | |
| Aug 7, 2012 at 17:47 | comment | added | Anderson | @oscilatingcretin uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Weapons Speed, reach, and damage for each weapon/weapon type are listed there. You can also get the data directly from Creation Kit. | |
| Aug 7, 2012 at 17:44 | comment | added | Anderson | If the weapon is enchanted, it favors speed even more. Much much more. | |
| Aug 7, 2012 at 16:31 | comment | added | oscilatingcretin | So it appears that I am doing well with sticking with my Daedric greatsword. On my next playthrough (I never thought I'd do a second and am now on my fourth), I'll see about developing my one-handed with the plan to use daggers once my smithing is up there. Where are you guys getting these charts? I'd like to look at the source data myself. | |
| Aug 7, 2012 at 1:47 | comment | added | kotekzot | @DavidB I've updated my answer with calculations for +46 damage. The result is less impressive, but still favors speed. | |

| Aug 7, 2012 at 0:35 | comment | added | Amy B | This page (uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Smithing) lists a maximum non-exploit smithing increase of +46 to weapons. Would that even up the difference in dps compared to +100? | |
