Magicka Detonation scaling

There are rumors that Magicka Detonation and its morph now scale with Weapon Damage as well, even though I can't find it in the patch notes.

Has anyone more infos on that?

    It's not written on Patch note but on PTS it actually scale with WD too so I guess they just forgot to add the information on the patch note

    Stamblade. Khajiit. Mostly pvp.

    Yeah, so I heard.

    Are the tooltipps comparable to the magicka variant?

    If so, PvP group play will be utterly dominated by Stamina groups from now on.

    Yes, I can confirm that it scales from Stamina + Weapon Damage as well.

    I did not test which Critical Chance rate it uses but it may well use Weapon Critical as well.

    Since it is Magic Damage it will still continue to use Spell Penetration though.

    Oh my.

    Has anyone tested how many people it needs to hit now to make it kinda....'worth it'? Cause if I remember they took some of the oomph away from it for 1-3 targets?

    I don't think it's really an issue if it uses Spell Pen as penetration values are more-or-less hybridized now and without the use of specific penetration sets you'll generally find that your spell and weapon will be equal. I kind like this actually. It provides some more build options while still allowing specific specs to stack in particular ways that other specs can't.

    As for the damage, I haven't really tested it but I have looked at the tooltip and it is roughly 25% of what I would expect to see on my builds on live. But it also scales four times faster per target so make of that what you will.

    I've calculated that the Break-Even-Point (when the new Deto starts to hit harder than the old one) is between 8 and 10 players. If you hit more than 3 targets, it will be stronger than the usual AoE skill standard of Pulsar/Whirlwind.

    Remember that you'll get 11.500 Spell Penetration from a 500 ulti Balorgh proc and you can craft Acuity in Medium. The Vicious Death Tooltip is already on live way higher on a Stamina Character than on Magicka Characters. Just saying.
