Wep Damage

FadrilTheGreat · June 2015

I am a vr14 NB and am very confused as to how people are achieving as much as 4k weapon damage. I have followed an exact gear build claiming "3700 weapon damage buffed" yet am hovering at 2300....

By buffs they are probably including Continuous Attack, Ravager set proc and all kind of other situational buffs

Hi,
I get just over 3K weapon damage with my build with Buffs,

I dont use the ravager set of skirmisher set,
I use Morag tong and Hundings rage.

What i dont understand is how they dive around sooooo much and then still have stamina to attack.

Probably lots of points into Tumbling and also running drink with a stamina regen build, which is pretty much what my templar does

I have heard some are getting 4200 weapon power.

2h / momentum nets you an extra 20% on it's own. Have that in your build?

Yep. also use morph of grim focus for additional 8%.

Lots of points in tumbling I have and still it depletes my stamina resource..

Gonna drop some damage for sustain and go 5 pce air. test it and see.

Currently theres a huge inbalance if you compare how high you can get wep dmg vs spelldmg. If you ask me its pretty silly.
Highest ive had my spelldmg is 2.5k, and my build felt weak due to low magicka regen and hp. The highest ive heard a friend has had wep dmg, is 4.8k and his build didnt feel weak at all. Mostly due to the fact that he kills most oponents before sustain becomes an issue.

Currently there's a huge difference if you compare how high you can get max magicka vs max stamina. I haven't really seen anyone above 30k stamina while 41k+ magicka can be easily done. Your damage is scaled on stat + dmg, both in equal and linear fashion. There's no spell dmg mundus but there's max magicka one. Pretty much you can get the same difference in magicka pool than you lose in spell dmg compared to weapons.

it's useless to go so deep into weapon damage cuz there is a dimishing return

Can you elaborate on that? As far as I tested, there is not.

Care to elaborate on this? I know of 35-36k which is vaguely survivable with reasonable regen, but at 41k surely you must be running with incredibly low, one shot health?

Are you stuck in 1.5? There are no softcaps anymore.

This pretty much only applies to sorcs though. Other classes give up too much to get that much magicka, and sorcs can only do it because they have a shield scaling off magicka.
