[COMPANION BUILD] Devil of Caroc Two Weapon Style, Sword of Daenysis and March Steel Dagger

[Jaryn]

Several years ago I wanted to play a melee Cipher. I looked around the threads here to see if there were any suggestions for melee Cipher weapons. The winner for me was the combination of Sword of Daenysis and March Steel Dagger. Eventually I tried to give the same weapon combo to Devil of Caroc. 

I think Sword of Daenysis and March Steel Dagger work just fine for a Rogue. There is something very satisfying about being super fast with your attacks.

Escape to reach squishy targets or to flee to safety.

Vulnerable Attack to help with Damage Reduction. Have both Vulnerable Attack and Savage Attack always on.

Sap is not a Full Attack ability but I value the Stun.

I like the combination of Adept Evasion and Snake's Reflexes. If you find it unnecessary pick something else.

Weapon Set 2: Either ranged weapon from Weapon Focus: Noble or a melee weapons with Crushing damage type.

Sword of Daenysis is sold in Club of Refined and Prestigious Gentlemen, 2nd floor of The Salty Mast.

March Steel Dagger can be obtained after you finish Something Secret quest. You need to choose specific dialogue options with Gordy. If you are not certain how to proceed, save before you interact with Gordy.

This weapon combination will make you quite fast and accurate.

Devil of Caroc, thanks to the Advanced Construct race, is immune to Poison and Disease effects, Sickened, Confused, Charmed, Dominated and Call to Slumber spell. She also can't use Food, Drinks and Drugs.

She can be left behind and survive in Cayron's Scar ending scripted interaction.

Even though you will be mostly auto-attacking with Devil of Caroc, you have to pay attention who to attack, when to use Sap and when to retreat if necessary. Don't charge in mindlessly.
