Does War Maiden Set Affect Resto Staff Skills?

GrumpyDuckling

(2 Items) Adds 688 Spell Critical
(3 Items) Adds 967 Max Magicka
(4 Items) Adds 129 Spell Damage
(5 Items) Adds 400 Spell Damage to your Magic Damage abilities

Would like to know before farming/buying.

I would not think so since they do not deal damage, war maiden specifically buffs magic damage skills only, not even elemental ones but pure magic only. There is a set like this for resto staff abilities though, Light Speaker, found in Elden Hollow.

You kinda read my mind. War Maiden affects Resto Skills I was actually contemplating stacking it with Light Speaker for some really insane heals.

Kageneracs Hope would be what you are looking for, Or Julianos.

War Maiden does buff the Damage of Rite of Retribution (Magic Damage), but not the Healing it does...

Does it work with force pulse, liquid lighting, blockade and so on ?

I know it won't work with Destro staff skills because they do elemental damage (lightning, fire, ice). But Resto staff isn't elemental, hence my curiosity.

Ok thanks, then I wonder what this set could be used for

Yep. It affects all the magic damage of the restoration skills. ;p

It will affect the magic damage done by your heal spell alright. The only way its going to affect the heal component though is if it scales of magic damage dealt (like strife)
Pretty sure most resto heals deal zero damage though.

Examples of "magic damage" for Sorcerers:

• Curse
• Crystal Fragments
• but not Liquid Lightning

for Templars:

• Puncturing Sweeps
• Jesus Beam
• but not Reflective Light

for Wardens:

• multiple skills from the Animal Companion line

for Nightblades:
Too many to list

for DKs:
Nothing that quickly comes to mind

for everybody:
Restoration staff basic attacks

It isn't a very big list:

1. The Melee Attacker reflected damage of Spiked Armor and it's morphs
2. The DoT from the Spiked Armor morph; Volatile Armor
3. The initial hit on Inhale and it's morphs
4. Stonefist and it's morphs
5. The expired shield damage of the Obsidian Shield morph; Fragmented Shield
6. The initial hit of Petrify and it's morphs

Two skills of note:

1. First Reflective Scale, if it is "Magic Damage" that is reflected would War Maiden affect the reflected damage?
2. Dark Talons and it's morphs, an ally can synergize with this skill causing Magicka Damage to affected targets. If a DK is wearing War Maiden will it affect that damage? What if the ally is wearing War Maiden?

More testing is needed. For science.

It does affect the damage of your resto staff light & heavy attacks.
