Although I might not agree with your opinions on this topic, I appreciate all the feedback I’m getting on this thread. If I’m being totally honest my favorite post on this thread so far has been paws’ post because of how funny it was

Mara, the goddess of love and compassion, what more is there to be said

Not raw damage, DPS. As in, damage per second. Do daggers and swords overtake maces' output through sheer hitting speed? Do axes have the best combination? Is it actually magick (nah)? Oh in that case it would be the dragonbone sword if my memory severes me correctly

tirrene said: The problem with this is that experienced players have probably already figured out how to maneuver the wiki or have gotten so used to finding out stuff by themselves they don't really need a specialized Q&A. But I'll bite: which weapon deals the most DPS, mace, war axe, or sword? And which specific one? (let's not count enchantments, smithing, and have a level 100 One Handed skill with no perks for simplicity's sake). Well if we’re talking just one handed and only smithable weapons to my surprise, when I first got dragonbone weapons it was the dragonbone mace with a base damage of 22 without enchantments and improvements.

Chris H. said: He's an arrogant snob, and not even a great follower. Similar to Nazeem, but at least J'Zargo has a quest to raise his disposition so he's not as bad. Before Skyrim got DLCs, J'zargo was notable in the fact he lacked a level cap, likely unintentional. People thought this made him the best, but the excess levels only really give him more health/magicka/stamina, and his AI seems to prefer weak novice spells for some reason, even over strong weapons sometimes. He has high one-handed skill but won't use them. The other mage followers were more effective in combat, and Dawnguard then introduced new followers that had no level cap and didn't cast novice spells. Although, level caps past 50-ish is kinda a moot point, because their skills can't go past 100 anyway, and you'll get more survivability from armor and enchantments than with some extra health. Also, there are a couple followers marked essential in case you're just worried about your follower dying. He's also notable for being one of only two Khajiit followers, but Kharjo is more useful than him. J'zargo also is one of very few mage followers with an armor skill, but Onmund is better than him at that since he'll cast stronger spells. You might be able to get him to punch things, if you could get him to do it often enough then he'd actually be a great partner for an unarmed/enchanting character, and would also just do more damage than spamming sparks. Of course, you could do this with Kharjo too, but Kharjo might end up prefering his hunting bow.   It's fine if you like him, but he's absolutely not one of the best followers in the game. (He's just decieving you with his 100 Illusion skill :p) Also, I'm pretty sure you can't marry him (well, unless you make him a marriage candidate with the CK, but there isn't any Khajiit spouse dialogue lines iirc) I have a marriage all mod that takes care of that because I’m playing on ps4
