Weapon Base Damage should NOT influence magicka based skills!

Please fix that magicka Skills DONT scale on Weapon Base DMG anymore.
Do you want to see 2handed / dual wield sorcs running around everywhere? The Weapon Advantage is so massive every DPS will run around with one of these Weapons....no individuality...nothing.

You made some Stamina Based and WeaponDamage scaling Classskills for DK. BTW nice idea! These can scale with WeaponbaseDamage but MAGICKA SKILLS should absolutely not. They should only scale on Magicka / MagicDamage so you are able to use a destroying or restoring staff. if you do that now your dmg goes to zero.

Light/Heavy Attacks CAN Scale on WeaponBaseDamage. But NOT Magicka Based Skills. Dont force people do play a 2HSWORD MAGICKA BUILD?...

Thats not what you aimed for.... please adjust the system so you can play MAGICKA or STAMINA Builds.... and you can do that in different ways. now... both builds would use 2h or dual wield to be effective... thats really sad and mono.

another solution would be that you add the missing dmg which is caused through low basedmg by the Staff Passives, so you have no disadvantage to play a sorc with a staff!

Templar may spam ritual of rebirth & rushed ceremony with a dual wield and swap to resto staff for Magicka regen & hot. There now, if that isn't a strong enough incentive to fix it by Live, I don't know what is!

It is not a bug, but a unintended consequence. To compensate for the changes to destro and resto they changed the stat on your weapon to give you spell damage. Fixing this will be quite easy they just need to make staffs scale the same way 2h does.

Agreed, they didn't expect this when they took Restoration Master away from Templar healing spells.

Then holy *** we are our own monster! Seriously though I really thought that this would be a bug with how *** this is.

I dont think its a bug.... They didnt think to the end...

its also no bug you are forced to do a pet build to do good dmg as a sorc.... new eso seems to be worse then old one... more unbalanced more forcing to do what you dont want to do...
