More information about how our skills work is always better.

Give this guy a job ZoS.

Wait, I have to chose between "agree" and "awesome"? In any case, I love it.

Actually, I would personally like *moar info* still for number crunching, but that probably would have to be optional.

Some info about where the damage comes from, like "Damage: 500 (300 base + Stamina * 0.2)". And of course things that scale as percentages (like red diamond being 6% max health) should show that percentage instead of the flat number they do now. But this thing there, is really doubleplusawesome already.

I agree with expanding the skill descriptions to have more information as the example in this picture displays.

Now to fix all the rest of the tooltips so they're not center-aligned. If it's not a header it shouldn't be centered.

This needs to happen.

Adding the base and the actual costs (magicka or stamina) would be nice too. So you can actually see the effect of "reduce stamina" / "reduce magicka" effects, e.g. glyphs and percentual reduction e.g. by passive abilities or set boni.

@onlinegamer1‌ Great idea!

I could see how it would be helpful for new players, but it seems kind of pointless for people that know how the game works. All class skills are magicka based and all weapons skills are weapon based. You can also already see your spell and weapon crit chance on the character window.

If I remember correctly, there are/were nightblade skills working off weapon crit rather than spell crit and then there's the fighter's guild line which was only recently fixed.

Fighters Guild

Damage from Silver Bolts, Expert Hunter, and Trap Beast is now based on stamina and weapon damage instead of magicka and spell power.

Stamina based skill was running off of Magicka and Spell power.

I love it OP, only problem I see is, Zeni prob themselves doesn't know what works how

Holy crap of holy. In one post, you've brought your Agrees back over your LOLs. I confess, I am very surprised that this came from yourself. I even reverse searched the image in case you'd stolen it from another website. It would seem it is indeed your own work. This is...wow. I'm amazed. Kudos. May you make many more posts like this.

This has been discussed here: http://tamrielfoundry.com/topic/how-much-visible-damage-does-spell-damage-give/
Post number 15 (just reedited the part between the []):

"Class skills = [spell damage + max magicka] + spell crit (exception below)

Class melee range skills = [like above but:] melee crit not spell crit

Melee weapon skills = weapon damage + max stamina and melee crit

Staff weapon skills = weapon damage + max magicka and spell crit"

Except for exceptions. Is destructive touch spell crit or melee crit? How does it change when morped for range? What about impale? Ultimates scale with magicka/or stamina, what about their crit? What do mixed abilites scale with? Searing strike uses weapon crit for it's initial hit and spell crit for it's dot, bow abilities are stamina/melee crit for both initial hit and dot AFAIK and so on. Those things are based on completely arbitrary rules that never are actually explained in the game.

In any case, there is enough ambiguity here to warrant a tooltip update. All this information shouldn't be exclusively available outside the game. I don't expect full dps charts in the game natively, but I *do* expect the basics of the stuff I'm supposed to make a choice about, like gearing for what crit chance for instance.

No way in hell!

This is TES! Not any other MMO. You should NOT be know every little tidy bit of info about everything. THAT's that magic of TES.

This is TES! Not any other MMO.

It is a TES MMO. Some information would be very useful, like what to expect from an expensive respec between magicka and stamina, or what a decision to start wearing and leveling up a different kind of armor would actually do for you.

This kind of information is available in abundance for all other TES games. They have been analyzed to bits (literally) by fans and modders. However, most online information on ESO is either outdated, incomplete or just plain wrong. Not enough fans, perhaps. The amount of players playing Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim to the nub was really exceptional, and ESO does not have the same following.
