sorcerer's Exploitation passive and crit potions

kyatos_binarini · December 2022

trying to build a crit stam sorc with crit surge and without camo hunter but found a problem: i need potions that gives me crit buf (spell crit, since sorcerer's passive "Exploitation" boosts only this one) and restore stamina. The problem is that such combination doesn't exists. only weapon crit+ restore stamina or spell crit + restore magica but no spell crit+restore stamina. And if i use weapon crit+restore stamina i will lose crit bonus from passive. i guess with nb's passive can be similar problem. why not put both spell and weapon crit to those passives?

Stick with your stam and crit pots.

Exploitation adds the minor spell crit buff for you and your group.

When you cast a Dark Magic ability, you grant Minor Prophecy to you and your group, increasing your Spell Critical rating by 1314 for 20 seconds.

i have 22.3% crit chance unbuffed. With Exploitation my spell critical 28.3% and my crit chance calculates from spell critical.
if i will drink SPELL critical potion my spell critical chance become 40.3% (crit chance still calculates from spell critical)
But if i will drink WEAPON critical potion instead my wepon critical chance become 34.3% (spell one is still 28.3%) and now my crit chance calculates from wepon critical.
So when i drink weapon critical potion i'm loosing 6% crit chance from Exploitation

Why not camo hunter though? Major crit buffs+minor berserk+3% wep dmg+ulti gen for killing enemies if that's only fighters guild ability on Your active bar is worth it.

Oh, I see. Sorry. I misunderstood your question the first time.

Hmm. Maybe use the mag pots as you suggest. Crystal weapon and/or daedric mines to proc health and minor prophecy, dark deal can also be used to maintain it, and use stam food. Then go bananas with your stam skills in between.
