Wall of elements, impulse, destructive touch-Magic Damage?

Is this a mistake that my tooltip (ps4) lists the damage done by these skills as magic damage? If it's not then this dev team is a complete joke. The succession set is useless now, winterborn is garbage, and the Maelstrom staves's enchantment (other than SD) become more useless. Honestly, if this isn't a mistake then what we're you thinking? Wall of ELEMENTS! And the others have animations that are elemental.

ZOS fire your God awful developers and hire someone new.

    They should all change to the elemental damage that your staff does; it just shows magic as this is the general damage type.
    I have departed into the great unknown that is outside the game and the forums, and wish you well in your Tamriel adventures!

    If that's true then that's fine. If it procs the sets and champion points. But since I'm on ps4 I don't have the benefit of any add one to give me this info during attacks. If this is the case then why don't they spend the 5 minutes to clarify the tool tip?

    Because it'd make it a fairly large tooltip? :tongue:

    When you add the skill to your bar it actually changed the appearance of the skill to that element (e.g Impulse is red when a fire destro is equipped, white/blue when lightning is). I've never noticed it being a problem before, have they actually changed the tooltip at all?

    I'm aware of the animation, I pointed it out in my first post. It would be one sentence extra on the tool tip "damage done will correspond to type of staff".

    But to the point, the animation is irrelevant. I just want to know if the damage triggers elemental expert CP, if it triggers succession, and if it triggers winterborn. Because if not then that's going to be a tough one to explain I think.

    lol
    all skills like that have magic damage listed as a base type because the game cant calculate what element your staff is if you don't have one equipped. so it's magic damage. it changes if you use an elemental staff.

    They are affected, my fire mage has it's damage come from Ele Expert CP just fine for those skills.
    Succession is sadly very inferior to Julianos except in very strange rotations due to the fact that it only buffs that element for four seconds every 12 seconds at max. If you're spamming Force Pulse, you'll get it to proc off of only one damage type each tick, lowering overall damage boosted through the set by 2/3.

    So I just changed my skill points and slotted it and it updated. So, as much of an idiot as I feel like I'm going to refrain from deleting so this is on the Internet for posterity and nobody has to look like an idiot again.

    Thanks guys.

    P.s. still think devs should lose their jobs

    Yeah, I have no doubt julianos should win. I'm using TBS right now but I was hoping that some odd build could beat julianos in dps because I think julianos is extremely lazy item design.

    TBS itself is the odd build, in that you can do so much with it. Granted some combinations work much better, but for solo play a lot of different ones could work.

    I just want my VR16 (or scaled CP) Silks of the Sun...

    It's with shadow and Thief mundus very small difference from julianos and great for maelstrom. Yeah dude, I'm looking forward to seeing how those sets being upgraded to vr16 shake things up.

    Understandable but I've not had any issues. I just take my time on the last enemy in the round and use dark conversion to restore Magicka (on third bar). I've not managed to try to do a full play through due to time constraints but on my second play through I got to the sixth round in 11 deaths.

    Feeling pretty good about it. You're obviously pretty good yourself lol
