What do abilities with "fixed" effect scale with?

For example, skills that provide major/minor buff, or like bone shield providing shield based on health percentage

Do increased stam/mana and increased weapon/spell dmg affect them in anyway at all? for example does casting bone shield with 10k weapon dmg or 15k weapon dmg change the skill at all, like reduced casting cost or sth?

    Can always check the ingame Help menu for things like this, but in essence many buffs/debuffs work on a percentage basis. So if you have 1,500 spell damage Minor/Major sorcery (Improves spell damage by 5%/20%) would be more effective than if you had only 1,000 spell damage.

    A list of all buffs and debuffs can be found here, but the in game help menu also has this information.

    that's not exactly what i mean...

    for example, bone shield provides a shield that is 40% of your base health and it is a stamina ability, now, does your max stamina and weapon damage affect anything when you cast the ability and when your teammates active synergy?

    And the same question when you cast any abilities that provides only certain buffs/debuffs, for example major evasion and such

    If its said its scaled on maximum health, it is nonsense to be scaled by max stamina too.

    Only your health can increase shield size of Bone shield, even when it costs stamina. Stamina there is just price for using this skill

    I think shield is based on magic or stamina for the bone shield, however its capped at 40% health.
    This don't become very relevant unless you have lots of health and minimum of the resource.
