From my recent experiences with a new dual-dagger wielding character, I noticed that repeatedly slashing with a single dagger seems to be equally fast as slashing alternately with two daggers being dual-wielded, and the simultaneous attack with both daggers (M1 + M2 tapped at the same time, not a power attack) was only slightly faster (counted as two strikes, one with each blade). Does dual wielding become noticeably faster late-game from skill increases and perks, so that a player desiring a very high attack rate would choose it over a single dagger?

With the Dual Flurry Perk, dual wielding attacks are 20% faster for the first rank and 35% for second rank. Until you get this perk, dual wielding is no faster than a single weapon.

  • Does this affect alternate attacks with the dual-wielded weapons, or just the simultaneous attack with both? In practical terms, is 35% noticeably faster than the default, comparable to Elemental Fury on a weapon?

  • @Thaumajig - the first word of elemental fury increases attack speed by 50%. I think 35% is very noticeable. The effect should apply to all attacks made while dual wielding, but I cannot confirm this 100%.

Berserker for an orc increases damage and attack speed, and dual-wielded weapons while on Fury with an orc will help, so make sure if you're in heavy combat you are an orc or have Agility trained.

    Hello, Mitchell, and welcome to gaming! I'm not sure if this is an answer to the question, as the information seems to be referring to some other game. Agility is not a stat in Skyrim, and Berserk does not increase attack speed at all. Would you care to provide some clarifying infO?
