Magnus set is broken!!

ItsRejectz

Not sure if this is known, but the Magnus 4 piece (spell damage) is broken, it applies nothing! In fact, my spell damage with 3x Magnus is 3050 but when I add the 4th for the spell damage, my spell damage actually gets lower and goes to 3047. Also, it lowers your max magika to. With no shoulders on my max magika is 36957 but when I add the Magnus shoulders it goes down to 36929. So not sure what is going on, but the 4 piece is lowering max magika and spell damage

Probably the same bug as with 2 piece Torugs Pact. But as far as I know it's only a display error and does not influence the damage you do.

It's UI. You still have the spell damage it just doesn't show it.

Or maybe it's really a softcap that is bugged, who knows

Hmm, I just put on 4 magnus but didn't notice a damage increase I thought it was just me since on PS4 it is hard to tell but now...

It's some wierd UI error.

I got the same with my 2 pc Torugs so I started using Elemental Succession and then I noticed my spell damage dropped. It's annoying that equipping and unequipping it doesn't have a visible effect however.

I tried this with my girl when a guildie pointed it out and mine works as it should.

There are issues with several sets, Magnus, Torug's Pact and Hunding's Rage are the three big ones that I know of, but I suspect it is with all of them.

On my V4 character, that is not stuck in Wrothgar, I have the following armor: 5 Torugs @ V3, 5 Ravagers @ v1, 2 Hungings @v3

Both my swords are the hundings.. when I have them equipped, I have 31% weapon crit.
If I switch out to my 2nd weapon bar, another two swords... they do not belong to ANY armor set, but have the same weapon traits as the hundings ones and are also only Level 44 and 49. Strangely my Weapon Damage goes up to 41% when I swap to them.

So it appears that the Hundings Rage weapon Crit is being subtracted from my stats instead of being added to them.

I suspect this may be happening with most of the older armor sets as well... perhaps ZOS is trying to force players into using the new sets?? It wouldn't surprise me.

I've just noticed the same problem. 4th piece Magnus does not give spell damage bonus! That's really annoying, I have it in gold already and now I face the reality that it does not work as it should.
When I remove/add 4th Magnus piece my overall spell damage is not affected at all! I checked tooltip of a random skill (Puncturing sweep) - skill damage only goes down for about 10 points, which probably results from magicka enchantment
That really needs fixing

Try taking off the third piece. iirc it's bugged to where the three-piece is applying it not the 4-piece.

Softcaps got removed a year ago.

Theres a few sets with this problem, UI bug.

Though if your on console you cant test it, but on pc people have tested and its shown that despite the UI bugging they do infact have increased dmg.

Dimmit

Well, I've made some tests.
Normally, atm I wear 5-piece Kagrenac, 3-piece Willpower and 4-piece Magnus. For the test period it resulted in 2184 Spell Damage and 1060 tooltip damage for Puncturing Sweep.
Tested on giants in Wrothgar.
Normal - 2184 SpDm/1060 tooltip - results in 2350 damage of single sweep to a giant
Replacing 1 Magnus piece with a random light armor piece with Magicka ench but no set bonus - same 2184 SpDm/1060 tooltip - results in 2295 damage of single sweep to a giant. Gives us 55 eventual damage decrease. Although, i had slightly more magicka, because random light turned out to be infused and my original Magnus is impenetrable. And I am supposed to lack 127 Spell Damage as a 4th Magnus set bonus.
Then i put my 4-piece Magnus back and replace 1 Willpower (reduce mana cost ench) ring with a random arcane ring. I have slightly less (20 points) magicka and significantly less (186 points) Spell Damage. 1998 SpDm/1022 tooltip. - Results in 2265 damage of single sweep to a giant. 85 points less than normal.
Does it seem that it is really a UI problem and eventual damage is calculated correctly? I am a bit confused that the difference is so small.

And 3rd piece of Magnus does not add the spell damage bonus either

It's broken bad. My SD is capped at 2503. Had spell damage mundus, dropped it, still at 2503.

It's a UI issue that seems to randomly happen. When I was leveling my Argonian he was getting no increase in stats shown in the character sheet from CP, however through quick testing I could see that it was just a display error. Then I noticed a few levels later that it had suddenly decided to include the CP increase in the displayed amount, so the seeming randomness of it occurring is probably why ZOS haven't been able to fix it yet.

In the course of trying to resolve the loss off 11% magicka regen on my templar between v12 and v16 , I also noticed this affect with my two magnus swords where my max magicka was going down when equipping them . I eventually concluded it was because my two swords were at a lower level than the two pieces of magnus armour. So when it calculates the buff it appears to looks at weapons before armour or lower level items before higher. Still didn't answer my loss of mag regern tho.

There is nothing more confusing than broken tooltips

Not sure if it is indeed a broken UI, like with Torugs. Hope so; but hope even more that ZOS will fix these issues.

As to your Spell Damage dropping from 3,050 to 3,047, that is likely caused by the reduction in your total magicka (roughly 10.5 magicka equals 1pt spell damage)

Tagging @Xantaria so that this can be added to the ever expanding bugs thread
