Hi guys i have changed my nightblade to the fom warlock caster build but have some numbers questions. My spellcrit with thiefs stone is 62% obv with inner light on. Is it worth changing to shadow in fact does shadow work?
next what is the magika hard cap and is it worth shooting for? whats the most spell damage i can get and how? if the magika hard cap is a waste of time because of the diminshed return for overcharge. would it be better to put some enchants in stamina because i heard restro/destro light attacks scale from this so would it be worth doing to improve damage from weaving?

A questions. What abilities are you mainly using?
Many of the Nightblades class abilities do not scale off of spell crit and instead scale off of weapon crit.
At VR12 I have 136 Spell Damage with the 5% Cyrodil buff. With potion I go over the soft cap. Sit over soft cap for both magicka and health.
Max Magicka will be hard to hard cap and still survive the encounters you need to. Trials for example has some nasty AoEs and if you dont have enough health then no matter the DPS you can bring it will be useless since you are always dead.0 -

✭I'm using inner light,crippling grasp,funnel health,spell symmetry and killers blade. I'm aware killers scales from weapon crit and survivability is not a massive issue as all attributes are in health so with food I'm way over the health and magicka soft caps. 136 spell damage i think with cyro buff im at 130 what jewellery and what level enchants are you using?

I also have my original stamina gear and skills which I use while farming or vet dungeons except crypt of hearts.In order to not be a burden in trials the nb warlock fotm is the only viable route for dd. At least untill the stamina/magicka imbalance is fixed. A shame I know but hundings does nothing really something like 3% and half the stamina abilities are useless take haste for example great speeds up light attacks except animation cancelling with a restro is loads faster making haste redundant.mousekime111rwb17_ESO wrote: »As a theory crafter all I can say is shame on your for turning to the FoTM build
trust me I rolled dw/bow or dw/dw all the way to v12 through all the vet dungeons etc got in aetherian archive and was like wow this isn't melee friendly combine that with no boost to spell resist and its a no brainer staff and skirt it is.
