User blog comment:Sgt. S.S./What's your weapon of choice in Skyrim?/@comment-124.179.203.86-20120512042305/@comment-4057437-20120518034146

One of us has started using a dual enchanted, (fire/shock), Blades sword, (suitably Smithed, of course), instead of an Ebony sword. It does around 98% as much damage per hit while only weighing 2/3rds as much, plus, it swings much faster.
