Juggernaut and power.

nordsavage · April 2014

When you put a point into the juggernaut passive, you get +0.5 to weapon power per piece of heavy armor worn. What exactly is power and how does it affect weapon use. Is it how much you disrupt and enemy, increased damage, push back?
Are there any hard data numbers?

Power is a derived stat primarily dependent on your Max Stamina but other factors include: passives (e.g. Juggernaut), the Warrior Mundus Stone and gear stats (usually on jewelry).

Your power is used to determine:

weapon damage (light and heavy attacks)
weapon ability damage (from weapon skill lines)
some other abilities that are considered "melee attacks"

This last category is the most confusing. Some class abilities that consume Magicka are considered melee attacks and use power to determine damage.

If you are familiar with WoW, power in ESO is comparable to "attack power" there.

No class ability uses Weapon Power. Every single one uses Spell Power to increase damage. Please name the skill that is a class skill that uses Weapon Power instead of spell power.

The only things that scale with Weapon Power are weapon abilities and bashing (holding right mouse and tapping left mouse), and basic attacks. Fighter's Guild skills like Silver Bolts may, but that is one of the few things I haven't tested Weapon Power on.

Some class skills are considered "melee" and these do use Weapon Critical to determine their crit chance, but they still scale with Magicka and Spell Power.

The general rule is that if a skill uses Magicka it scales with Magicka and Spell Power. If it uses Stamina it scales with Weapon Power and Stamina. I say general because Destro and Resto staff skills (being weapon abilities) both scale with magicka and weapon power (not spell power since they are weapon abilities).

For crit the general rule is that only class skills that have a range of 8m or less and aren't aoe or weapon abilities that use stam use Weapon Crit. Once again Silver Bolts may use Weapon Crit and may be an exception because it is Fighter's Guild.

The only exception to that is the fighters guild skill, all stamina based, but technically speaking it is not really a "class", everyone (when joined) has access to this skill line.

There are some passives in Storm calling though and Eathern Heart that boost weapon damage.

How about some courtesy when somone answers your questions or other people's questions ? Like "please" and "thank you", instead of being a rude jerk...
