Looking for a good addon that fixes the character sheet

HorrorShow

One thing this game has really kept true to the single player elder scrolls games, is the need for mods to fix crappy UI design.


So can anyone recommend an up to date mod that takes the character sheet and translates it into numbers that have meaning? Specifically the spell/weapon damage, the recoveries and resistances?

Azura forbid the game tell me how the mechanics actually work.

What exactly do you mean by numbers that have meaning?

I dont know how any addon that will teach you theorycrafting

Many posts on thise though

There is no such addon. What are your specific questions?
Recovery values are actually the amount of stam/mag you recover each 2 seconds.

What do you need to know about weapon and spell damage? The higher the better. Do you need formulas for interaction with max mag and max stam?

If you interested in theory crafting, here you go:

Just point your mouse cursor on stats in your character window and you'll have description of them (what is spell damage etc)

If you want to have more information which is unlisted (like for example penetration) you can use this addon: http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info372-HarvensExtendedStats.html

For example so you see what I am talking about.

Spell Resistance: 23476
On mouseover: Decreases the amount of Damage you take from Magical Attacks

By what percentage? By what hard number amount?

Same for physical and crit resistance.

Spell Damage: 1583
On mouseover: Affects how much Damage and Healing your Magicka based abilities and weapons cause.

By what percentage? By what hard number? Is that the number? If my staff does 1132 damage does it now do 1132+1583 damage?

There is an addon that will compare item stats: Harven's Item Stats Comparison ( http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1206-HarvensItemStatsComparison.html ).
This maybe what you are looking for.

Each 1% of mitigation is 660 Physical/Spell Resistance, therefore cap (50%) is 33000.
Once this value is reached it will not go higher, even with 40.000 resistance the game will hardcap you to 50% dmg taken.

For Spelldamage see

A very important stat is penetration which is not shown in the character sheet. Use Harvens extended stats like Astrid wrote to see your value. 18.2k is the pencap for PVE, you should aim to go close to that value. Consider that in groups/trialsgroups you need less penetration yourself because other people are giving buffs and debuffs (Tanks taunt, Healers Ele Drain, Sunderflame, NMG etc.). If you play stamina check out https://alcasthq.com/eso-stamina-optimization-raids/

Hope this helps, if you need pointers to any other values just ask

Edit: Just seen you asked about crit resistance, this is a PVP exclusive value - and since I´m no PVP player I can´t tell you much about that, but afaik more is better and there is no hard cap (unlike in PVE).

Edit 2: If you are into theorycrafting, check out Gilliam the Rogue on Youtube, also his "old" videos. You learn SO MUCH about this game by watching his videos.

Thank you.

Not sure why they wouldn't just put the percentage next to the value.

Is weapon and spell damage the same? X percent increase for every 100 or something.

I´m afraid not, damage calculation is way more complex.

There is no % value behind weapon and spelldamage. It´s just a number.
Weapon- and Spelldamage are one of several modifiers that calculate your damage (others being passives, crit, CP, penetration).
