Stam and Mag same stats but different results?

Ysbriel

So by ESO logs and what people have proven to been BiS regardless of opinion because at the very end its numbers what matters.

Using mag sets:
Perfected False God’s Devotion

LEVEL 50 CHAMPION 160

(2 items) Adds 833 Spell Critical
(3 item) Gain Minor Slayer at all times, increasing your damage done to Dungeon, Trial, and Arena Monsters by 5%.
(4 items) Adds 833 Spell Critical
(5 items) Adds 129 Spell Damage
(5 items) Reduces the cost of your Magicka abilities by 8%. When you kill an enemy, you restore 2150 Magicka and gain Major Expedition for 8 seconds, increasing your Movement Speed by 30%. This effect can occur once every second


Mother's Sorrow
LEVEL 50 - CP 160
Type Overland
Set bonus
(2 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
(3 items) Adds 833 Spell Critical
(4 items) Adds 833 Spell Critical
(5 items) Adds 1937 Spell Critical

delivers high DPS numbers.

While in the other hand i have never seen any ESO log end game result where this combination is the equipment used to deliver high DPS results:


Vicious Serpent

how different is the tooltip scalling from spell and weapon damage and max stam max mag?

It's not the tooltip scaling that is different among the two, it's the passives and sustain difference. Stam builds have more modifiers for weapon dmg than max stam. Mag builds generally have more modifiers for max magicka than spell dmg.

Also, a magicka rotation tends to be more costly than a stamina rotation, that's why perfected false god is considered a best set for magicka dps, because that sustain boost helps a lot. Stamina builds don't usually need that additional sustain from vicious ophidian set, so they can run a full dmg set instead (like relequen). And people often use berserking warrior set instead of leviathan because berserking warrior is basically a stronger version of leviathan that also supports front barring.

Penetration is the strongest stat in the game, and the default minimum penetration value for magic builds are also very high due to the light armor passive.
