@ZoS_GinaBruno An important component of the CP balancing was forgotten:

KenaPKK

At some point, it was discussed that offensive CP would amplify damage based on the resource stat that fuels the skill, and in the case of ults, that which the player has built more of.

For example, magic damage ults and Killer Blade would receive amplification via Mighty despite dealing magic damage.

Killer Blade is outclassed in damage by Executioner to the point of crowding out its use completely. Stamina builds have been OP up until now, but with the changes to Hardy, they are being brought into line and even, with the changes to Proxy Det, outclassed by magicka builds. It's time that all abilities receive proper interactions with CP.

The changes to CP look great, but the job is only half complete. Please advise.

You should link this thread in the official feedback thread just to make sure it gets looked at.

KenaPKK

You're right, I should. Now just to find the correct thread. Anyone have a link? I don't see an Official Thread for CP Changes sitting around.

Killer's Blade should do poison damage. It's both lore-friendly and balance-friendly.

KenaPKK

I'm fine with that as long as it's CP friendly as well. I like how Nightblades are hybrid damage sources and would like to keep them that way.

Also, keeping them that way and balancing CPs how I have suggested would also save ZoS the time of changing ults and a bunch of specific skills around.

Also Relentless Focus should be added to this list of abilities that need to scale off of physical or stamina sourced CP.

Talked with some stamina DPS in Hodor about this earlier and we all agree.

I don't really care about the various non-ultimate skills that deal magical or physical damage, but I do think that any spec should derive equivalent benefit from any ultimate they have access to.

My idea: Make a small tweak to ultimates by making them take whichever combat tree you have the most points in.

For example,
If you have 100 points into Mighty, your standard is buffed even though it is magical damage.
If you have 100 points into Elemental expert, your dragon leap is buffed even though it is physical.

KenaPKK

Don't neglect the stamina abilities that still deal magicka damage though. They've already been forgotten enough by zose.

If Killer's Blade did poison damage, doesn't that mean it would go under shields? Honestly I think that would be a really cool and unique and lore consistent mechanic.. But that's just me. Basically, keep your heals and shields up against a stamblade, because once you're in execute range, you'll hurt. Thoughts?
