Would you like the option to choose what a class ability costs (stamina or magicka)

ex. If your built stamina based more skills start costing stamina (Lava Whip,Impale,Biting Jabs etc) and if your built magicka those skills would cost magicka.
Personally I think we should get more options in our class trees to use a stamina version but also have a choice to choose what skills cost what either by toggle, How many armor pieces your wearing or largest stat.

    At first thought, I'd say "of course!" However, not knowing enough about all of the skills available or how they scale off various stats, I can't say, as I don't know what (if any) balance issues that might create.

    Should have been the case from day 1. Poor design decisions are poor.

    Well, I agree that not all skills have stamina option. But I agree to choose for most skill till it's not lore breaking (some skills are hard to even imagine to use stamina). But IMO most skills could be fine with it.

    If we're doing this why not also choose which resource pool things like CC breaking uses. Sure, maybe it wouldn't make sense to use magicka for sprint/dodge/block... but to break out of a magical stun magicka makes about as much sense as stamina, IMO.

    Yeah. All skills should be payed with health if you wear full plate armor and all skills should be free if you wear no armor! :stuck_out_tongue:


    Magicka and Stamina are there for a reason.
    (Maybe not a good reason from some perspective, but a reason nonetheless.)

    Making Magicka and Stamina interchangeable would make it useless to have two stats at all. Letting every skill cost "Mana" and removing Magicka and Stamina would make more sense to achieve what you want...

    All class abilities are spells that you cast. That's why they cost magicka. All non-staff weapon abilities are not spells, but rather skills that take physical effort. That's why they cost stamina. That's the logical explanation.

    From a game balance point of view, keeping them separate and not allowing you to choose which to use for any given ability is important, because otherwise there's no point at all in having separate magicka and stamina stats. Everyone would put zero points and enchants into one, and all of them into the other (aside from what goes into health), and suddenly the diversity in builds goes way down.

    Allowing you to choose which stat each ability uses would dumb the game down by a lot.

    Yes, b/c Z has changed some things I use and ofc I didn't spec into the change. And also, don't just give a skill reset but also give out a free attrib reset since you mixed up the skill bases
