Okay, I've been playing this game since launch, but I only recently created my first DPS alt, so bear with me. I created a sorcerer who uses a destruction staff and a lot of Storm Calling skills aimed at DPS. Now, it's my understanding that your damage with both magicka-based spells and with staffs somehow scale off your character's max magicka.
But my question is, is there a way to see what your actual spell and staff damage is? I see on my character sheet that there is a "Weapon Damage" and "Spell Damage" listed. But I also noticed when I take off all my magicka-boosting armor that these values don't change. So if actual damage scales off max magicka then those numbers can't be indicative of the actual damage I'm supposed to be doing (or they would change when I lose a bunch of my magicka).
Do I need a DPS add-on to determine this? And, if so, can anyone recommend one (preferably one that works with the gamepad interface and doesn't include a bunch of other unrelated UI changes)?
