Changing the Nightblade ability Killers Blade.

I just wanted to be the one to formally start the, "Can we change the damage from Killers Blade from magic damage, to physical damage?" thread.
I would much rather use this skill over Executioner. Which I've found isn't displaying 18% damage increase in 2h abilities on the tooltip. Intended?

Anyway, I feel any stamina morphed abilities should not be hitting and doing magic damage if it's scaling of max stamina, and weapon damage. It doesn't make sense. Please give me my physical damage Killers Blade!! <3@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_BrianWheeler

I'd be one happy Nightblade!! :wink:

    No, I'm not taking anything from magicka Nightblades. Impale is the morph all magicka Nightblades use as an execute. It has increased range. Where as the Killers blade morph, is a stamina morph that is based off weapon damage and max stamina.

    But of course Killers blade currently does Magicka damage.... I have always been like "Ummm yeah they need to change and fix that.."

    So far it hasn't, still waiting..

    As much as I like these new stamina-burning class skills they need to come up with a more sensible approach. Thundering presence is just silly, how could you possibly use stamina to generate bolts of lightning unless you were secretly an electric eel

    I really don't know why Killer's Blade and Power Extraction still deals magic damage with my CP I would loss 20.1% Damage and 10% armor piercing both needing Physical damage to be applied. Executioner and Steel Tornado's Physical damage make them the better choice. My class powers have FAR better affects but hey more damage and armor penetration so whip out the cookie cutter.

    What he means is that it is not consistent within the rules of it's own Universe, not our Universe.

    And I agree. If stamina morphs are still "magical" what the heck is the difference between magicka and stamina? Within the ESO Universe stamina governs physical attacks using your body and plain old weapons.

    Exactly what @code65536 said. People put CP into passives that increase physical damage. Since Killers Blade does magic damage instead of physical, this skill is not being made stronger, even though it is a stamina based ability.

    @BuggeX Honestly I don't think Dragonknights NEED an execute, and I feel that their flame abilities do well already. Since most of their damage is DOT damage. I do just fine without a built in execute on my DK.

    In terms of CP and and an execute Killers blade is annoying sometimes but we have to use it even tho executioner from the 2H line is stronger because more likely than not we have more CP put into physical damage than magic damage. Usually we can't use it tho due to have are 5 pc set bonuses on DW and not on our 2H buff bar. This would be an amazing buff....maybe make soul harvest physical too..pls...zos...

    Yes there is. Stamina and weapon damage is linked to physical damage. Killers blade scales of stamina and weapon damage. Therefore it is logical that is does physical damage.

    The way it is now is illogical.

    You seem to think logic is inherent in the real world, and absent in a game by default. It is not. Logic is simply studying a scenario and using reasoning to come to a valid conclusion.

    I'm just saying from that not everything is going to make sense in a fantasy game. Not saying it can't, just saying it won't always. Due to @Stranglehands saying it wasn't making sense a sorc can use Thundering Presence using stamina.

    I suppose I can spare a couple of Skill Points to check into this clearly. Will edit this post once I do.

    Ok so while holding my Sword and Shield I have 834 Spell Damage and 875 Weapon Damage in my character menu. Assassin's Blade and Impale both according to tooltips do 951 Magic Damage. Killer's Blade on the other hand does 1044. It does say Magic Damage but the scaling is still proper. If anything it just means investing in Spell Penetration benefits you lol but safe to say the tooltip could be misleading you.
