Destruction Passives

This may be a completely noob question but do I need to be using a destruction staff to get the benefits of the passives? I have my destruction line fully leveled but am trying to work on restoration just in case I want to try healing at a later time and its currently only lvl 41. So I was wondering if I was missing all the passive benefits by using a restoration staff.

Thanks in advance!

    Simple answer: you lose all destro passives when using another weapon. This is always the case with weapon line passives.

    But even when you have your destro equiped in your active bar, the passives do not always apply:
    The first destro passive Tri Focus and the fourth passive Ancient Knowledge only work while using the destro for Heavy Attacks
    The second destro passive Penetrating Magic only works while using destro spell abilities
    The third destro passive Elemental Force is the only destro passive that always functions as long as you have a destro equiped on your active bar.
    The fifth passive Destruction expert only works for destro spell abilities and destro light and heavy attacks.

    "I still do not understand why I followed the advice of Captain Rana to bring the villagers of Bleakrock into safety. We should have fought for our village and not have backed down, with our tail between our legs. Now my home village is in shambles, the houses burning, the invaders feasting.I swear every day to Shor that after Molag Bal has been defeated, I will hunt down the invaders and restore peace in Bleakrock and drink my mead with my friends at the market place".PC-EU

    Awesome! Thank you for the great breakdown.

    I don't really understand how a stamina based sorcerer works but I'm thinking I should look into that since I see a lot of talk on it. Pure magic based sorcerer is fun though.
