Curious if there is a cap on magicka cost reduction. I know I would have as much bursty type damage as if I went all out magicka but I play more for survivability and sutainability. I play a Breton with all my champ points into magicka reduction, jewlery also reduces magicka cost and wear the seducer set. Is this over kill, or is there a soft cap? I have done some testing and it didn't seem like there was any cap but I am not the best tester when it comes to stuff like this. Thanks in advance.

Anyone know if stamina reduction caps similarly? If at all?

    As far as I have heard/seen.. the ONLY cap left is a hard cap for armor mitigation..

    Spell Cost Reduction is the easiest one to test (so would Stamina Cost Reduction) Look at your magic skills, write down the current spell costs, make the change, then look at the spell cost again. It shows you the new cost in the tool tip.

    What is harder to test, but there are add ons for that, is how much more damage you do with a change you make to your character.

    Also, if you want to see what kind of potential impact you can have on your character down the road, you can load up a VR14 Template, with 3600 CPs to play with and all the Skill Points to allocate. Then you can make changes and see what happens. Only thing you would not be able to immediately test is the effect that Seducer would have, but that would just take a few days of research on the PTS. Note, sometimes they copy over the characters to the PTS from Live, so that makes these kinds of exercises easier if your a crafter.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Thanks.

    And to Nestor, I kinda did that for the testing but wanted to find out before I spent to much to get reduction.
