How many of you guys think Radiant Magelight over Inner Light in PvP? I play a magicka NB and love to roll around in small groups, and have been using Radiant. I have never used Inner Light before, because Radiant's stealth detection bonus makes so much sense in a PvP setting, but I still wonder if I can squeeze more DPS into my build by swapping out for Inner Light (Bonus to magicka pool instead of penalty).

For anyone that uses Inner Light over Radiant Magelight in PvP, could you explain why? That'd be helpful :)

    Radiant always.
    You will get crit from both. Extra magicka isn't worth negating stun from sneak attack and 50% damage or giving up detection. If you think a little extra magicka is going to give you a boost in PvP you are likely mistaken. If you are not already bursting people down in seconds you are doing something wrong.

    I got killed in pvp, nerf everything...

    Radiant Magelight is 100x better in PvP. 7% extra max magicka won't make any difference if you get shot down from stealth.

    7% magicka is only useful if you are magicka damage stacking

    It's only 5% magicka difference. Radiant still gets 2% for being a mage guild ability.

    Sadly, the from stealth damage reduction of radiant is going to be pretty useless after 1.7. Massive damage reduction on all attacks is going to make a massive damage reduction on from-stealth attacks less necessary

    I use radiant and with a straight magicka build on my Templar i don't find I am lacking in power or magicka. The detection radius is a bit small, but I feel I do notice the stealth damage mitigation from stealth openers. Stealth attacks are just a wake up call and not devastating at all.
