I know you can and it counts as weapon damage if it's not an ability but mine never lets me crit from stealth it's so weird so now my damage is lacking and better yet it won't let me spell crit

is there a specific reason why staff's don't get this,, it's not like magicka builds have been shafted enough but you can't even get a basic stealth crit off? Pretty sure i could stealth crit punch someone...PS4 EU DC

I have every character level 50, both a magicka and stamina version.

✭✭Duel Wield has a passive that let's them crit for more for damage when stealth.
Is it only DW and Bow's which have a stealth multiplier?PS4 NA DC0 -

No, any physical weapon has the multiplier. Khajit and Bosmer have bonus damage from stealth, nightblade's get a passive for it as well. Basically my Bosmer 2h NB can cast Wrecking Blow from stealth and 1 shot just about any equal level non elite mob.
Why spells don't get the crit multiplier? I can't say. IIRC there are set bonuses that allow a watered down version for spells, but I can't say I've ever heard of someone building around it.0 -

I see, DW just get's a little extra because of the passive.

That's the point we're making I believe. Spells don't auto crit from stealth, though they can gain a damage bonus via NB/Bosmer/Khajit passives. Your stamina build was likely using stamina morphs and weapon skills, all of which gain the crit and damage bonus.0 -

Thank you for pointing out some of those BS reasons.
In other news swords are shiny and give you stamina on heavy attacks and so do bows.
Also Destro grants magicka also.Edited by PBpsy on July 24, 2015 2:24AMESO forums achievementsProud fanboiElitist jerkTrollHaterFan of icontested(rainbow colors granted)0
