There's no incentive to stacking/slotting several Destro staff abilities

Almost every tree has a passive that grants you a bonus for stacking abilities of the same tree, like sorc, that gives you 2% spell dmg for each sorc ability slotted, Mages guild gives you 2% max magicka and magicka recovery for every ability slotted.

The same doesn't happen with Destro passives, there's only "enhancement" focused passives

I was thinking about change how Penetrating Magic works, the passive that "allows your Destruction Staff spells to ignore 5%/10% of an enemy's Spell Resistance".

Maybe this passive should give a flat value of Spell penetration + another flat (smaller) value for each destro ability slotted. This will benefit builds that doesn't slot destro abilities, while also giving a bonus to builds that goes for 1 or more destro abilities.

This flat value should be like, 1000 spell penetration + 750 for each ability slotted. Or something like that, not sure about the exact number, but it shouldn't be something behind the current Penetrating Magic, but it also should goes further from the current Penetrating Magic for builds that slots several destro abilities.

Yeah but one of the destro passives is probably one of the most OP passives in the game...8% ST damage for having a flame staff and an ability slotted (thats basically a free minor berserk) 8% AOE damage for lightning (i dont think anything in the game including sets buffs your AOE damage) and i forget what the ice one does but its plus 8% something. When you think of it that way, that is super strong. Buffing other passives would just make the destro too strong

You''re comparing a weapon skill passive line with class and guild. Its not like other weapon skill lines/passive offer what you're asking for.

Isn't there also a destro passive that's also like free vicious ophedian, constantly topping off your magicka pool as things die to destro skills?

No incentive on any weapon skills. All either with X weapon equipped, or while using an X skill.

Ancient Knowledge passive is already pretty strong as it boosts all single target or AoE abilities regardless if they are staff or not. For example on a Magicka Sorcerer equipping a lightning staff will also boost things like Liquid Lightning & pet pulse.

It would be nice if each weapon skill added extra crit. It would also be interesting if it gave crits a chance to do something unique instead of straight up damage.

idk

Name a weapon like that provides a benefit based on how many abilities of that weapon line are Slotted?

If we are going to do comparisons we need to do appropriate comparisons. Apples to apples n

I don't know and don't care about the other weapons since I only play magicka lol.
