  For endless dual power attacks 2 (the one by Jasper Kane), I don't think it is an actual power attack. When I used it on the Xbox I noticed 3 things:

  1. My character didn't let out a sizable grunt with each attack, which is what they usually do during a power attack.  

  2. It did far less damage, like it wasn't being affected by Dual Savagery

  3. It would never stagger the opponent.

  The animation looked the same as a normal dual wield power attack, but did not have the usual effectiveness.

  I don't know if this info fits here, but eating a vegetable soup will provide endless bashing or power bashing for 12 minutes (I think same for power attacks).

  Probably better for the General Combat Discussion. This discussion is more for the 'high tech' ideas and that one is fairly common knowledge..

  Here would be my reasoning (By the way, HI! Names' Shang-sung-sweet-tooth {Ask Henson why I call myself that, I hope he remembers XD})

  Shield Charge when used with a Sword/Mace/War Axe IMO opens up way more offensive oppertunities than a traditional Sword n' Board playstyle mainly because you won't need to pull yourself out of block or use up precious seconds trying to bring up your shield again. Blocking with a Sword (For me at least) feels a couple seconds quicker than a Shield.

  I got something to add that actually works! Remember the technique "The Beatdown "

  "The Beatdown

  This technique is for two people: archers who are down to their last arrow and archers who just wanna punch shit to death! I recently discovered that the infinite Crouch Bash combos with the Exploit Bash for the fastest damage a bow can deal.

  Simply execute the second version of the Exploit Bash and follow up by double tapping crouch approximately every second. If done correctly, the player can repeatedly/rapidly bash for arrow damage without actually firing an arrow but it does require you to have one arrow."

  This works with Dual-wield Blocking. Also, if you sneak and perform the Bash attack while dual-wield blocking, it SHOULD trigger your sneak attack critical for One-handed weapons.

  If it's a technique for archers, then it's probably better off in the Advanced Archery Corner.

  Albino... What I mean is, when you dual-wield block, try to bash, then do the double-tap for crouch and you will repeatedly bash with the sword. The same thing goes for if you are blocking with a shield.

  BloodBane here to provide some ideas about Dual-Wield Blocking and Left-Handed Combat.

  1) Dual Wield Blocking works even if you have a fist as your right-hand weapon.

  2) While using this Dual-Wield Blocking, the damage you take does get reduced and the sword is used to block.

  3) Attacking from this is more stamina intensive, but the Crouch Bash from the Advanced Archery Corner to utilize this. Elemental Fury also can enhance the speed, but that means quicker stamina loss and it is only sped up by a couple fractions of a second. (Someone may have to test it to see the difference, but I noticed it on Ps3). Dual wielding may also speed this up, but even then, it may only be about a fraction of a second.

  4) Elemental Fury will increase the swinging speed of your sword without focusing on the primary hand and helps match the speed of your fist.

  5) While holding block, you can press your sheathe button while holding  your block button in order sheathe your weapon. Continue holding block and hit your sheathe button again, and you will not only use "Quick Draw", but you will shift right into "Dual-Wield Blocking".

  6) The point for number 5 can also be executed in Stealth mode in order to execute the "Ranger's Roll" from the Advanced Archery Corner.

  What melee options do you have after a shout? 

  I've noticed in some gifs I've seen, you're able to bash after whirlwind sprint. Can anyone confirm this? Does it work after other shouts? do any of the above techniques work right out of a shout instantly?
