is undaunted passives worth having?

Kidgangster101 · December 2015

I have numbers here and they seem so small was just curious is 5/1/1 is worth these slight increases?

just light-
21,961 magic
15,944 hp
9,908 stam

light and med (no heavy)
23,342 magic
16,223 hp
10,085 stam

5-1-1 (suppose to be 6%)
24,746 magic
16,503 hp (boosted slightly from heavy armor passives but not much only .5%)
10,262 stam

A) my match might be off but it doesn't actually seem to add to 6%)

is these slight bonuses worth giving up light armor passives?

It's worth having even if you have 7 of the same armor type.

The passive gives 2 % for each type of armor up to 6% so even if you go with 7 light you'll get 2 % so having points in the passives is worthy.

Weather its worth it for you to go for 5-1-1 or all 7 depends on your race, class, and even CP, skills and gear. Tamerial Foundry probably has some info on this. Good Theory crafting site though with every update more and more things change and more postings become obsolete so check the dates, etc.

Ultimately it will be up to you to decide.

Yes it is worth it. If you go 7 light armour compared to 5-1-1 you'll get an additional 6% cost reduction (Evocation), 8% Magicka Recovery (Recovery) and 726 Spell Resistance (Spell Warding) but lose out on 362 armour (Resolve), 5% Max Health (4% Undaunted, 1% Juggernaut), 4% Stamina (Undaunted), 4% Max Magicka and a few more passives in medium/heavy armour. The former gives you more sustain but the latter will increase your damage since max magicka increase the tooltip value of your skills. In additional the 5% Max Health will allow you to run with more points into Magicka or more gear with Magicka enchantments and since endgame is all about optimising your tooltip values, Undaunted is worth it.

^^Agree completely!!

7 medium for my stam blade and still have acceptable health.

But my magicka chars use the undaunted passive.

It makes a difference regardless of armor diversity and build, even a 1% boost to can help in any situation that 1% may be the difference between victory and defeat.

The 2nd undaunted passive is the best passive in the entire game.
It's a must

For my build, I want to get a lot more CP before I go undaunted...as a healer, the lost reduced cost and lack of additional recovery would be notable for my build. I like the sustain that I have now but I will play with it when I get more....I have 220 now, fwiw.

You get 6% on top of the base-values. the values in your character-screen are with passives/skills like magelight, racials, class passives and so on.

edit: you also have 2% more stats with only one armor-type...so difference between 7 light and 5/1/1 is only 4%.

Jura23 · December 2015

Its definitely useful, but you have to be willing to do PvE dungeons. Lots of them. Im currently 6 pledges away from maxing that passive out, but I cant see myself doing that again anytime soon. So for me right now its not worth the effort anytime soon.

MLRPZ · December 2015

you know there's other way as just doing daily pledges ? try trials even if the loot is not worthing it, check your achievement list, there's a ton of things giving you undaunted points

oibam · December 2015

I run with 6 + 1 on any build, gives me 4%.
