Warrior Dual Wield (Example Long Sword & Dagger)

I was thinking about taking strength to 25 and keep raising dexterity past 36.  I was thinking if dex was high enough say 50+ you would be extremely difficult to hit wearing light light armor for max stam and just dish out mad damage while being very difficult to hit.

Perhaps with dex sooo high you would be so hard to hit that not even a dragon could hit you :P

You'll do pitiful damage if you don't take STR past 25. And a dragon will hit you easily even if you have 50+ dex. My rogue had 60ish DEX and 45-50 STR in the fight and the dragon killed me easily..

Only get enough DEX to gain the last Dual Wield mastery talent that allows you to use two normal sized weapons at one time. Pump everything else into STR and try to stick with axes for the additional 1.10 str/damage modifier.



I find dual wield warriors take longer to really blossom because of the high DEX stat requirement (36 I believe for the final talent), but when paired with Berserker they have outperformed all my attempts at a dual wield Rogue.



A lot of people won't believe this, or will tell me that I am "doing it wrong" (fair point I suppose), but my party journal comparisons have shown a consistent 20% more damage done by my warrior than my rogue. I tend to believe it's because the warrior doesn't have to waste time flanking or otherwise having a backstab set up for him via paralyze/freeze. Plus his whirlwind attack is a freaking monster (easily over 200 pts combined on enemies). I like to open with a dual weapon sweep and then a whirlwind - quite frequently it kills all the enemies that are in front of me in just a couple of seconds.



Burst damage for the win.

Dual wield rogues and warriors do function entirely differently, though. Rogues, in general, aren't well served by full-sized weapons. A faster attack with twin daggers does more for them than twin swords would, with most builds. You can make almost anything work - but stuns/paralyze runes/knockdowns/any other disabler + Coup de Grace + the fastest attack speed can manage is going to produce s much damage. Dagger rogues do some of the best damage you'll see.
