Hey everyone, just trying to figure out the right stats to go for other than health for blazing shield. Reason for the concern is rumors that it crits off weapon crit, not spell. Also does spell penetration work? Magic damage increase? I have all red CPs in bastion at 100. Any other advice for CPs in blue tree would be mucho appreciated

zornyan✭✭✭✭✭It's magic damage, so would scale off of spell crit (as it costs magicka and is a spell) since it's magic damage you'll want points in thumatauge, and spell penetration.
Since its magic damage it's spell crit, although I'm not sure how it works since it's a flat value of damage recieved = damage dealt.
How much health are you planning to have? Can't see it working that we'll without 40k+ health.0 -

It costs magicka yes, but spell power nor max magicka affect the damage. Spell crit however, does seem to affect blazing shield, but the damage is based solely on the the size of the shield when it explodes. And the size if your shield is affected by how much HP you have. I'm not sure whether spell pen affects blazing shield or not though.
In response to the OP's question, health and bastion are the only way to affect the damage of blazing shield.
Also the shadow mundus should affect blazing shield crit damage also.
Stacking health could work, but you also have to make sure you have the magicka to sustain repeated casting of blazing shield, not to mention your other magicka skills.Edited by Akinos on December 7, 2015 1:51AMPC NA | @AkinosPvP 1vX/Small Scaler, Raid Leader, Youtuber and Twitch.tv Streamer.MAGICKA MELEE IS LIFE!Magplar, MagDK, Magden, Magblade, Magsorc & Magcro PvP/Build videos & moretwitch.tv/akinospvp0 -

✭Ah... Well in all v14 (3 v16 jewels) I'm at 50k, want to push it even higher, like.....MAX DAMAGE possible on blazing...so for CPs I should be using spell pen and crit damage right? Along with boasting crit much as I can. I noticed that the damage is mitigated by spell resist, so I would assume spell pen would work great0
