Arctic Blast worth using?

Axiom should have an effect since Gripping Scale is a class ability. Blast is still frost damage, too. The heal of Blast might not be effected, though.

The damage portion of both abilities is Frost damage and both are class abilities. Innate and Ysgramor should effect the damage- no matter if it scales off health, magicka, or stamina.

Sure, it'll increase the spell damage of an ability that doesn't scale off of spell damage.

And Ysgramor will also boost the spell damage...of an ability that doesn't scale off of spell damage.

It's worth testing, but as written, neither Ysgramor nor Axiom have any effect. Just like how Axiom has no effect on sun shield or Green Dragon Blood.

It really doesn't. I really wish it did. Gripping and Blast would be so much better (or at least diverse) if they were buffed by these sets.

Blast would become a minor hurricane, gripping would be a talons and Warden would be so much more (and in PvE too!)

If those sets added actual damage they would work, but they add to the stats that abilities scale from - so nope.

Most abilities in the game use a formula that takes into account the appropriate stat (magicka, stamina, or health depending on the ability) as well as your weapon or spell damage, based on whether it deals magic or nonmagic damage.

So even though it says it scales with health, it should be a combination of health + spell power, as it deals magic damage. Assuming it works like every other ability in the game, anyways. If it doesnt work that way, it's bugged and should be fixed.

Arctic blasts damage 100% does not scale with anything (CP and other percentage amps exuded) but your max health. This is intended and certainly not a bug. not sure why you think "Most abilities" means "all abilities".
