Whats the strongest one handed sword and mace?
Trying to dual weild them to exploit the fast left hand power attack.
Any ideas?
*If you can, give the highest damage with all the possible perks (100 smith + blacksmith elixir + extreme smithing gauntlets).

So far i think Miraak's sword is the strongest sword in the game in terms of power (198 damage), while dragonbone sword is 2nd highest with 193.

Yea this is the basic weps that are available from smithing, i already knew that dragonbone is the best. I wanted to know if there is a special weapon which is better (mostly quest related), for example, Miraak's sword
Miraak's sword have the highest one handed base damage of the game, but there are some other swords whit better enchatments.

This, yeh... I immediately didn't care for Miraak's sword when I saw the damage. My Dragonbone Sword at the time had a Fire/Ice enchantment and was doing far more damage than Miraak's sword.

These are the only close ones.

Chillrend - thieves guild quest
Dragonbane - found in Sky Haven Temple
Mace of Molag Bal - daedric quest
Nightingale Blade - thieves guild quest

Chillrend is leveled. Meaning that how strong it is is determined on the level you get the mission. The strongest incarnation of Chillrend should be about, 44>

Miraak's sword had 5 more damage than dragon's sword while both are fully upgraded, and i want to keep the stamina absorbing enchant anyway so it suits me.

Thanks. Im currently leaned between nightingale and molag bal. In terms of enchantment, nigtingale gives 25 hp and stamina each swing (im lvl 70) so assuming its not wasting much charge like most dual enchantments are, i'll go for these.
That, with molag bal's soul trap, i will not need to use that many soul gems to refill their power. Sadly they wont be the strongest swords but its good in a different way.
Well, in terms of enchantment preservation, both miraak's sword, nightingale blase, and molag bal mace all suck.
Will try a normal dragonbone mace and sword combo with medium power enchantments..

if you look around there are some mods that make the enchantments last longer and refill more per soul gem. I forget what it's called cause I don't really use enchants but I know I've seen it

Thanks but no thanks. I dont like using mods like this. And im already happy with my dragonbone dagger and mace, their current enchantments last long enough so i dont need to recharge.
