I only see magic damage based ultimates on my NB. So basically Im FORCED to use magicka build if I want my ultimates to be "ULTIMATE"?

    I thought magic damage scaled off magicka, and weapon damage scaled off stamina? If it scales off the highest, then whats the difference between weapon and magic damage?

    Abilities scale off based on the resource they consume. Synergies and Ultimates get special treatment.

    From Patch Notes v1.6.5

    Other Major Gameplay Changes
    • Synergy abilities now scale off your highest stats that are either stamina or magicka based.
      • Ultimates and Synergy abilities now always scale of your highest Critical Strike stat instead of just your Spell Critical Strike.
      • Abilities that cost magicka will now always scale off your magicka, spell damage, and spell critical strike stats.
      • Abilities that cost stamina will now always scale off your stamina, weapon damage, and weapon critical strike stats.
