Should Overload blocking cost be set to Magicka ?
Doesn't it feel more logical, that when you block in Overload mode, to have the block cost deducted from Magicka pool instead of stamina ? After all, shooting with Overload will replenish
magicka so there can be a cycle of block & damage. It feels unnatural to have Overload deduct cost from the Stamina pool while you are pumping resources to Magicka when you shoot.

✭✭✭Personally I find it easier to manage 2 different resource pools then having everything rely on one pool, but doing that with overload wouldn't be very balanced due to the magicka return. You get a third bar with overload which is plenty of room for shields and heals so you really shouldn't have much need for blocking anyway. You could use an ice staff if you want to use magic for blocking.

The problem is that if my main weapon is an ice staff for blocking with magicka, it takes time to get into Overload and get out of Overload, so the idea was to have Overload ready to respond to attackers. As a tradeoff, there would be no block cost reduction from Ancient Knowledge.Edited by fxeconomisteb17_ESO on March 26, 2018 5:56PM"Is it true her wounds healed on their own ?

With a 20k shield stack in pvp/40k in pve and surge keeping you healed under those shields how much blocking do you really need to do if any?
You also have a magicka based burst heal which will give you stamina back and gives you minor prophecy to increase those crits for surge to proc more often. Guess I'm confused as to why you would need to block so much as a mag sorc.

✭✭✭✭✭Why is that exactly a bad thing? It’s one of the few uses Overload still has - giving magicka back. Having blocking cost magicka during overload would completely defeat the purpose.

✭✭✭ZOS HATE mag classes.
End!
Ah, i remmeber the days when people looked at stamina like some kind of second or third rate citizen and activally kicked them from any and type of groups other than possibly pvp. Raids were done with one tank and then 11 staff users, no exceptions, people would be called out and either harrassed and ridiculed or just straight kicked if wearing a melee weapon or bow.
Horrible times.
in regards to op, i can see it but not sure if i like it, but then again it would have very limited use.0 -

Magicka may come back from other sources than regen. When you block, you will gain ultimate, allowing you to fire Overload, which in turn will create magicka to be used for blocking."Is it true her wounds healed on their own ? Yes" No s***, at 75% health regen penalty!
