😂 it’s because the animation at the chopping block always has you use two hands, and probably because you don’t regularly use them (or watch your own footage? 😂). It’s all good
This man is so real. No bs like other ranking TH-camrs. Just a dude that likes a game and gives his honest opinion. Finally someone who didn't rank Mehrunes Razor first. Its instakill effect always triggers when I'm about to end an enemy anyways, when it triggers at all. "It's so op" no, it's balanced at best and mid at worst. And everyone else sleeps on Miraak's sword, stamina absorption is great, it deals good damage, and it looks dope to boot.
Windshear is, by far, the best melee weapon in the game. The enchantment on it not only knocks down enemies on bashing them, it also staggers them with every swing. Windshear means that you are literally incapable of being hit in a 1v1, and even against groups, stagger lasts long enough that you can keep a crowd locked down. Windshear is immensely powerful.
The ghostblade does have one advantage: it weighs one point. So if you're playing survival, it's actually a pretty good weapon on lower levels because of your extra low carrying capacity.
Yeah, when I learned about that I instantly marked the location on my map. The only weapons that weigh less are the fork and knife which actively suck.
Concerning the notched pickaxe, the 5 points is worthwhile, because except this weapon no weapon can have smithing enchant, so it is just bonus to equip it when smithing.
Damn this explains why follower uses Miraaks sword over everything else. The slither effect is hella satisfying. Nice list. Would love to see a list of new destruction spells. Elemental bolt + fortify destruction is so broken
One of the many things I love about this game is the freedom you have to go where you want and do almost anything you want. Growing up, that was a luxury I didn't have, so it's fun to live vicariously through my characters in that way. Also, getting tossed into space by a giant is heaps of fun 😂
I personally don’t like Windshear that much because it makes the game too easy, it literally staggers enemies EVERY TIME you hit them, so it just makes every fight effortless and takes the fun and challenge out of fights.
I always use bloodthorn as my off hand weapon. The absorb health part is very useful too. And it can soul trap dwemer machinery... For whatever reason lol. The notched pickaxe is cool. I always use it to MINE ore and then CRAFT stuff, since it increases smithing too.
Valdur's Lucky Dagger's critical hits stagger opponents and is meant to be duel-weilded with Mehrune's Razor in the left hand. This helps with the insta-kill ability.
I remember years ago 2012/2013 i put the ghostblade in a display case in hjerim and came back one day to find it gone, this was back on 360 version too so i couldn't use console commands or anything, one of my favourite weapons in the game at the time just because i had never seen anything like it in a game before.
Nah you probably heard how it actually works. It increases your smithing skill directly, not by a percentage. So if you have 100 smithing and equip it, you actually have 105 smithing.
Some of these are amazing and want me to use them even though i like 2 handed better. And the notched pickaxe is based on notch the creator of minecraft.
I did. I must have forgotten to include that data in my script, which is my bad. It didn’t seem to make much of a difference anyways when I did test it, and with the damage of the weapon being so low, I stand by my original ranking. Good catch tho. I definitely should’ve at least brought that effect up.
@@TypicalPirate55 also the Pale Blade has been changed so that the enemies just have to be at a lower level, it no longer caps at 16 and Windshear seems to have a stagger on *ever* hit, not just knockback on weapon bashing
@james739123 To be honest, I actually completely missed those details in my testing. I guess there is still a lot for me to learn about this game, even after all of these years
@@TypicalPirate55 I've only been in the fandom for 2 or 3 years and half the time if feels like I know more then people who have been with the franchise since the beginning, it's a strange feeling.
He got the enchantment wrong on wind shear it has a bug where every time you swing it has a 100 percent chance to stagger and enemy. If you want the best build or at least most broken build using windshear go to the spiffing brit and look for it there.
Brilliant and invaluable video. It does highlight when you go back through it how sword-heavy Skyrim is. On this list there are 18 swords, 6 daggers, 4 axes (if you count wood- and pick-), and only TWO maces. Out of the top ten, all but three are swords, with no axe at all. And no arguments here - it's a great list. But as someone who has played a lot and loves creating new characters, I like to use maces or axes more often than swords these days, and the selection is pitiful. Just as well that with good smithing and enchanting, without even going mad with exploits, you can soon make yourself a badass weapon of your own, with two enchantments of your choice, that just about beats anything on this list. Hurrah for Skyrim, but also a hurrah for Typical Pirate!
Do you actually not know that Windshear has a 100% stagger chance? It's literally the most broken weapon in the entire game by a magnitude of 10. It is impossible to lose with it. Your opponent literally cannot fight you.
Ranking weapons solely by their damage is such a boring video lol. You could've also made a weapon's backstory and design a part of the ranking, that would've made the video about something other than raw data.
Welp. It turns out all woodcutters axes are one-handed. I guess I’ve never had to equip a regular one so maybe that’s why I got that wrong. Oh well 😂
But would you consider The Woodsman's Friend to be a two-handed wood-chopping axe? I do lol

@@thatonguy2407 it is kind of sad though. If the enchantment was true it would be kind of cool for single sword builds to be actually good
@@braedonmatthews I think it does work as intended as well
@@thatonguy2407 Yeah it does, but you can’t avoid using the glitched part of the enchant cuz you always have to attack
Mace of Molag Bal being your pick for best looking weapon is wild

That is a good point

@@RandomRikster Nah spiffing brit fixed those lol
Bloodthorn actually has a unique enchantment, it just doesn’t say it. It can soultrap dwemer machines which is unique but not necessarily good.
I never knew it could do that. Cool
Concerning the notched pickaxe, the 5 points is worthwhile, because except this weapon no weapon can have smithing enchant, so it is just bonus to equip it when smithing.
We need a shield video to go along with this one lol.
Dawnbreaker at 13 is straight up heresy

Glad to see you're back, dude! Missed ya.
Thanks man! Glad to start uploading again!

I just think that needing to recharge weapons is such a chore but for ones like the nightingale blade I can see why it’s necessary

I love your videos. I just discover them keep going!
would love to see a two handed version! great video i enjoyed it ❤
I think I remember hearing that the Smithing bonus of the Notched Pickaxe doesn't actually work
Strange…
Nah you probably heard how it actually works. It increases your smithing skill directly, not by a percentage. So if you have 100 smithing and equip it, you actually have 105 smithing.
@@nicholausstevens1262 Oh right, cool
I guess that's better then
IIRC bloodthorn's enchantment is actually unique and can be disenchanted for a 2 and 1. But then again I forgot it even existed until now.
Nope. It can't be disenchanted
Some of these are amazing and want me to use them even though i like 2 handed better.
And the notched pickaxe is based on notch the creator of minecraft.
Yep a lot of these are a ton of fun to use.
Idk what you’re talking about I solo’d kaarstag with wind shear mainly cause every time you with someone with it they stagger
no talk on Bloodthorn having the drain life enchantment without it being listed, did you *Actually* test the weapon?
I did. I must have forgotten to include that data in my script, which is my bad. It didn’t seem to make much of a difference anyways when I did test it, and with the damage of the weapon being so low, I stand by my original ranking. Good catch tho.

12:34 what’s up with your carry weight? Is that some sort of mod?
I use a cheat mod for the setup of my videos, so yeah I have infinite carry weight in this video

26 is a seal club 😂
The notched pickaxe is a reference to Minecraft.
Ok but how does this affect O’Neil Cruz’s legacy???
He sucks

It's literally the most broken weapon in the entire game by a magnitude of 10. It is impossible to lose with it. Your opponent literally cannot fight you.
Didn’t notice that in my game. Maybe I need to do a little bit more testing. Could’ve been something messed up with my game file or something
1:35 wait this is unique?? I just passed it up like two hours ago lmao
@@coledavidson5630 yep.
Notched minecraft ?
2:52 *wet hands starts playing*
All woodcutter axes are one handed
Wow. That’s a major error. I can’t believe I missed it that bad. I guess it’s still the worst weapon though.
Bruh. Did you seriously not include the Dawnguard Rune Axe? Propably the most OP axe in the game, especially against the undead?
Damn.
molags bal mace is the best for me cuz i like the design it sucks magicka (i play like a warlord 1 handed and conjuration)
Mace of molag bal gang ❤️
Having Timestamps would be cool , cheers!
Yeah… I should definitely add those lol. Thanks
Yeah doesn’t know much about bloodthorn
The extra enchant which is a health absorb
And can soul trap the machine bois
Dawn breaker should be higher no way you put a pixax over it
I use elven sword lol
Let’s go
👍
omg it's like Minecraft
Exactly like Minecraft
Ranking weapons solely by their damage is such a boring video lol.
You could've also made a weapon's backstory and design a part of the ranking, that would've made the video about something other than raw data.
Other youtubers do that already
Minecraft
Inb4 windshear is #1
