Destruction staff count as destruction spells?
Anyone know if when you use a destruction staff does that count as a destruction spell or do you have to be a Sorc and use destruction spells to get the passives from the staff line?

✭The entire point of the staff line is to boost your staff abilities. So yes, the passives will benefit your destruction staff abilities. If anything, I'd think that Sorc skills would get zero benefit from skills from the destruction staff line, excepting general boosts to magicka regen, etc.Living vicariously through my characters.

Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."

Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."

BETAOPTICS✭✭✭Yes it does. Here is how you can separate what is classified as what. If your weapon class skill uses stamina, it is considered and labeled as ' melee ' by the game, or physical damage. If your weapon class uses magicka (?) then it is using spell and magic damage overall.
And yes, bows are melee to the game, if you got confused about that.0 -

@Lizard_man
Passives that refer to 'Destruction Spells' will not include the storm calling spells - they don't count as destruction spells, they just count as storm calling spells (unfortunately for my staff wielding sorc
) VR14 EH Sorc

Kyosji✭✭✭Ok, just as a final confirmation. ALL passives of the destruction skill line apply to your basic destruction staff light and heavy attacks, correct?
Also, Destruction Staff damage is determined by Stamina, not magika? (Not the skills, just the light and heavy attacks)0 -
Selstad✭✭✭✭Destruction staff is part of the weapon skill line and can be used by any class regardless, all you have to do is have a destruction staff equipped. To level faster you need to have some destro spells as well on the bar, but just killing things with the destro staff alone grants XP.
Class specific spells are under the class section of the skill tree and are specific to the class, but it is not tied up to the weapon specifics. As a sorcerer I've picked up a restoration staff and gotten a lot of healing spells and am able to heal pretty well in dungeons. I can also at any given time just get some medium armour and get a bow and go ranger if I like.
So sum the whole up; weapon skill lines are separated from the class skill lines and can be learned by anyone with the appropriate weapon.0 -
Kyosji✭✭✭But that's not what I asked...
Do all the passives of the destruction staff also work for your standard attacks (light and heavy staff firing)
Does your standard staff attacks (light and heavy) rely on Stamina or Magika for their damage? I know for my knives and daggers on my nightblade, Stamina is what determines the damage output. Someone else on here mentioned that your staff and bow are also considered melee weapons, but I needed confirmation of what actual attribute increases my standard attack damage.0 -
Selstad✭✭✭✭Sorry, my mistake. If you read the passive of destruction staff, they rely on the use of destructions spells to function (except the ultimate recharging).
When it comes to how you deal damage, the attacks are related on your spellpower which comes from magica. Both light and heavy attacks on a destruction staff is either frost, lightning or flame, and they change your spells in the destruction spell tree. You don't do any actual melee with a destruction staff so stamina is rather useless for a destruction staff wielder.0 -
Nukeyak✭✭Stamina description says it impacts all weapon damage and a staff is considered a weapon. Someone I think tested this in another post.0
