Weapon/Spell damage/crit

Tatuaje

Ok, trying to figure out some numbers.

Weapon damage - is this a physical attack or a skill from a weapon line? What if the skill is a "magical" type attack and not a physical attack. Example Wall of Unstable Elements from the Destro staff line, spell attack or weapon attack?

Spell Damage - I assume this is just from class lines?

Thanks.

To put simple:

All skills for your class is scale to spell damage.
Weapon skills (except staffs) such as DW, 2H, Bow, etc. are scaled to weapons damages.

But, for example, skill from NB like Ambush, it's scale to weapon critical to critique and Siphoning to spell critical.

"Class skills = max magicka + spell damage + spell crit (exception below)

Class melee range skills = melee crit not spell crit

Melee weapon skills = weapon damage + max stamina and melee crit

Staff weapon skills = weapon damage + max magicka and spell crit"
