Bound weaponry and Block

[Paulo]

Hello guys,

I have two doubts:

1) What skill enhances the damage of bound weaponry? Conjuration or One/Two-handed?

2) Does the Block skill influence dmg absorption when I block with a two-handed weapon? Does the slow-motion perk work with a two-handed weapon?

Thanks!

The weapon skill tied to the conjuration spell is what influences the damage (but there is a perk in the conjuration tree that gives them a flat damage boost, regardless of your weapon skill).

As for your second question, any skill that doesn't have the word "Shield" in its description influences your block (Example: You'll get the slowdown from fast reflexes but you won't move any quicker or get the elemental resistance on the left side of the tree). The right side of the tree (power bash, disarm) applies to any block bash.

For the base damage caluculation, the Mystic Binding perk doubles the damage values of Bound weaponry. For everything else, One-handed, Two-handed, and Archery skill values and perks affect damage.

Block affects any form of blocking, be it with a shield or with a weapon. But most of the perks affect the action of blocking WITH A SHIELD, the exceptions being Power Bash, Deadly Bash, the "blocking sprint" perk, and Quick Reflexes. As for Skill values for blocking with a weapon, I *assume* that it follows the same pattern as described above, assume being the keyword. And yes, Quick Reflexes does work with a one or two-haned weapon.
