How is Magicka total calculated, and how to improve it?

Hello everyone! So I asked in Zone Chat this question thinking it would be simple to answer, but never did get a straight answer.

Everywhere I see screenies of people with oodles of magicka and have even been told that 30-40k magika is the only way to roll. However, I am having a hard time reaching the recommended VR health values as well (been told as low as 15k to as high as 22k).

Oh, also, all numbers in this post are ignoring food buffs.

My character is:
V13 Imperial Templar, with maxed passives for Light Armor, Resto Staff, Dawn's Wrath, Restoring Light, some crafting stuff, some guild stuff, some world stuff.

My gear is:
5x Healer Set [Purple] with health enchants and 4x Seducer set [Purple] one of which is a resto staff with no enchantments (yet). Two blue diamond rings with magicka regen enchantments.

My stats are:
19,280 Magicka (just over 20kish with Inner Light toggled)
1281 Magicka regeneration
14,670 Health
Base health regen
Base stamina and stamina revenue

My attribute points are 38 Magika and 23 Health.


How does one reach the numbers expected of a good healer?

Hey, the formula for your stat pools is



The Base value at V16 is 8744 for Health and 7958 for Magicka and Stamina. Attribute points is the number of points spent in Health, Magicka or Stamina multiplied by 122 for Health and 111 for Magicka and Stamina. CPI is a cumulative percentage increase due to points spent in the corresponding constellation and can be calculated as follow



The Lord Mundus gives 1452 Health. The Mage and Tower Mundus gives 1320 Magicka and Stamina, respectively. Divines is the sum of divines. Skills that will increase your magicka pool as templar are Undaunted Mettle 6% (this requires having 5 Light, 1 Medium and 1 Heavy armour weights) and Inner light 5% (+2% for Magicka Controller passive). Unfortunately as an Imperial you are missing out on Gift of Magnus (10%).

You'll reach a higher magicka pool once you reach V16 and are able to get V16 gear with V16 enchants. You should be able to run all magicka enchants and have 64 points in Magicka. Also don't forget to eat your V15 Health and Magicka Food. Also grind more CP to get a higher Magicka/Health pool.

@ragnarok6644b14_ESO -

You have to buffup with food,

Get the healer jewelry....
Wear all light armour,
Get the undaunted mettle passive,

I dont have any attributes into health,
all into Magicka,
Also i have all my armour enchants to magicka,

However if you do feel you need more health enchant helm, body and legs with health..

Grind to VR16 so you can get the willpower jewelry(arcane)

How do racial passives play a role in increasing stats @Asayre ?

Asayre

Racial passives go under Skill. For example, a Breton with Gift of Magnus, Inner Light (and Magicka Controller) and Undaunted Mettle will have 23% for Skill (10% Gift of Magnus, 5% Inner light, 2% Magicka Controller and 6% Undaunted mettle)

Also you can slot bound aegis for a small buff in armor/resistance as well as increase your magica pool by 8%
