✭Also, the zone sets and the monster sets for magicka are underwhelming. I don't have the time or the patience to *** with this incompetent dev team any longer. I'm going to play Stellaris, and after that, Civ 6. =D13 -

✭There is some use to it, but I won't disagree that the damage scaling for ult cost is stupid bad. Being able to cast it on yourself is very beneficial for pvp though, gap closing means you can keep on top of your target and keep the full DOT on them. But yeah....very very bad damage overall.Legendary Archer of ValenwoodBosmer Dragon Knight Archer. XBox One. (Flawless Conqueror Bow/Bow)Bosmer Nightblade Archer. Xbox One.

✭✭✭✭✭And again, destruction staff received underwhelming dps and uselessness for pvp.
How could I expect them to buff destruction staff.... foolish me ! Foolish foolish me !Auri-El is my lord,
Trinimac is my shield,

Want competitive pvp while being outnumbered? Tough luck, the devs clearly said you have to die in those situations0 -
Parafrost✭✭✭3.7k magic dmg every second for 10 seconds that follows you, unempowered, no crit. 213 ult cost on sorc at rank 1, with ult cost decreasing as it ranks up.0 -

✭I would love to see them makeing the destruction staff ultimate a ranged AoE ultimate, something similar to residulent lightning from BDO.

✭✭✭✭On a sorc with ~44k mag and ~2900 spell damage, tooltip reads 4513 over 10 seconds for 213 ultimate. Nice, I guess, for PvE... because the boss isn't bright enough to walk out of it. Zero use in pvp. And no doubt it can be negated.
Meanwhile, the bow ult is doing that much damage single target at maximum range, over 4 seconds. Even with battle spirit, we are talking an easy one shot combo to kill a target for a fraction of the ult cost. Probably not even a combo is needed for a fully buffed ganker, let alone one using something like Vicecannon. Useful in pve, OP in pvp.

I can't test exactly without grinding up the skill level, but judging from the screen shots provided here... not really. It just provides either Burning/Chilled/Concussed(?) or it moves with you. Moving with you is interesting, but bats already does that.

Seem not. One apply burned/chilled/concussed depending of your staff (seriously, it should be the base ability), and the other is centered on the user, as a weaker and high-cost batswarm.2 -

The one that moves with you might be okay in PvP depending how the damage output and ulti cost compares to bats, but yeh it seems pretty bad.V16 Uriel Stormblessed EP Magicka Templar(main)

Yes, should be in the base ability, then maybe the morph that doesn't move does more damage. So there's a good morph for pve and one for pvp. Although I doubt I'd use it anyway in pvp what with how weak it is and so many people using Storm Knight right now.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Cost needs to be 150, need another effect base morph, such as a snare or such.
I'm not sure how the dmg looks at a end game damage build.
Maybe you could push it to like 9k~ a second for 10s...PS4 EU DC

You can attack the target while you are channeling Soul Assault? In truth, while the damage may not be amazing, it is a huge unpurgeable DoT that you can apply while doing other things. Heck, you could recover and rebuff while maintaining pressure.
But yeah, let's just call it a copy of Soul Assault to keep it simple.3 -

✭Damn, not very creative... Just a weird mix of: more expensive swarm + less effective meteor.
Was expecting a low cost magic based attack with a high damage output or a debuff on target like: take aditional x% elemental damage from target or the like...PC/DC/NAserver
