Lessen the value of max magicka/stamina

Domander · February 2015

I will make a new thread on this subject, the current way I had it is probably going to nerf some builds that don't need it.

So...... put a softcap? Like the ones they just removed ?

Not necessarily, if they did follow his suggestion they could change to the formula so that spell power/weapon power adds a larger increase to damage than the attribute pools. This increasing say magicka still gives you a damage boost just not as large.

Whether or not this is needed will depend on your point of view regarding the patch. Unfortunately, I don't think the damage is a simple fix. Especially, when factoring the potential ramifications to other aspects of the game.

No no no, the damage increase to abilities are calculated from both magicka/stamina and damage/power.

The idea behind decreasing how much magicka/stamina contributes could for example let someone with 20k magicka match the damage of someone with 30k magicka if they had enough spell power to make up the difference.

It would also make putting every stat you have into maxing a little less attractive, but still beneficial.

I think it's great that people can specialize how they want. If you stack all offensive, and are confident you can avoid taking a single hit in a dungeon/cyrodiil, kuddo's to you.

The only problem I see is that damage shields that scale off that offensive stat means that magicka builds can get all the defense and offense from a single stat, while other builds need to sacrifice offensive power in order to obtain some survivability.

Just stop it. No softcaps, no limits. I want to be free, no limitations.
It's fine.

You don't really have more choices post cap removal if your goal is to create the best pvp build you can though...

If they insist on keeping the dmg numbers(output) as it is now, against the majority of players wishes, they should atleast give us back the hp that we lost in this update.

This literally won't matter in PvE because as soon as Players realize they get insta'd by every Vet Dungeon and Trial with their pathetic 14-16K Health due to stacking Magicka/Stamina > all they'll have to change. Right now we're seeing an 18-23K minimum for health values in 1.6 to be able to complete Vet Dungeons and Trials for Healers/DPS, Tanks obviously more. In PvP Players are gonna do whatever the new FOTM is if it helps them grind out AP faster than you or anyone else. That current FOTM is either spam Magicka for Shields or Glass Canon Stamina DPS with Bow/2H.
