Confusion about spell damage Mundus stone

Dracane

In the latest ESO live show, Mundus stones were a topic as well. Eric said, they are not going to nerf the more popular Mundus stones like Mage and tower.
But they will buff other Mundus stones. 'The spell damage Mundus stone for example' But there is no spell damage stone in the game. Does he mean the Apprentice ? (spell penetration) or will they remove the effect of 1 Mundus stone and replace it with spell damage ? Just like they change the serpent from health regen to stamina regen.

Yes, he probably meant the apprentice. Either it was just a slip of the tongue, or it's one more piece of evidence that ZOS doesn't actually play or understand the game.

This was confusing to me as well... as Apprentice increases spell penetration, but no Mundus stone says anything about spell damage. It would be nice if ZOS could respond and let us know. As many players have pointed out in other threads, most Sorcs would welcome removing the spell penetration and replacing it with spell damage.

So if the devs want Mundus stone choices spread out more, then perhaps they need to look at what they're offering and instead of increasing what is already there, perhaps they need to change some of those options.

Why only Sorcs ? All Magicka builds would appreciate such a stone. Would be fair, since weapon damage is so easy to raise, and they have the warrior stone. At the moment, the Apprentice grants 5120 spell penetration, which is around 8% more damage against unprotected enemies.

Wouldn't mind replacing it for an overall damage increase.
