Two Handed Skill Line - ESO

Category: Weapon
Other skill lines in Weapon : Bow, Destruction Staff, Dual Wield, One Hand and Shield and Restoration Staff

The Two-Handed skill-line is part of the "Weapons" category in the Elder Scrolls Online. The Two-Handed skill-line has active skills that you can activate during combat and passive skills that are always active as long as you have a Two-Handed weapon slotted. The skill-line is also often referred to as 2-Handed (2H).

How do you unlock the Two-Handed skill-line?


The Two-Handed skill-line is granted to you after killing an enemy with a Two-Handed weapon. You can use any random Two-Handed weapon that you bought or picked up from a monster to uncover the Two-Handed skill-line.

How do you level up the Two-Handed skill-line?


To level up the Two-Handed skill-line in the Elder Scrolls Online you have to either equip a Two-Handed weapon or slot skills from the Two-Handed skill-line. Having more Two-Handed skills slotted on your active bar will increase the amount of experience that you gain towards the skill-line. To level up the Two-Handed skill-line, you can simply kill monsters or complete quests to gain experience points. Reading books from bookshelves in the Elder Scrolls Online can also sometimes increase your level in the Two-Handed skill-line.

The damage numbers of the skills that you see below are used for comparison. The numbers are based on a naked level 50 character without any skills, passives, attributes and champion points allocated. Your damage numbers will change depending on what gear, skills, attributes, champion points, enchantments or buffs your character has.
