These skills scales with what? viable to stamina user?

Hauztein · April 2016

NB:

Refreshing path healing portion - scales from dmg, mag, sta or health? viable in stamina build?
Strife healing portion - scales from dmg, mag, sta or health? viable in stamina build?

Crippling grasp - scale with magicka, both initial and dot damage? viable to stamina bow user other than the speed?
Mass hysteria/Manifestation of Terror - viable to bow user? works on world elite/bosses?

SORC:

Wards - scales of what? too weak for stamina users to be viable? (im thinking about archer sorc)

Thanks for any input about this subject... im struggling to decide to create a bow NB or Sorc, since my magblade has a lot of survivability.

The Conjured Ward and its morphs scales off Magicka, I have two Sorcs with one being Magicka and another Stamina. The Magicka Sorc Empowered Ward shields for around 20,000 damage with 21% Bastion; the Stamina Sorc gets around 4000 damage shield unmodified. You're going to want to use either Bound Armaments or Thundering Presence instead of the Ward for protection.

Refreshing Path, Strife, and Crippling Grasp all scale with Magicka. Their damage and healing on a stam build is very low, and not a viable option. Stam NB needs Rally and Vigor for healing.

Mass Hysteria is a different story. It is a utility skill in that it does not do damage, but CC's and causes minor maim (15% reduced damage). It is a very strong skill, and equally effective on both stamina or magicka.

i understand what you say... but i see a lot of people using strife on a stamina build to help with survival... is it really not viable? if it heals less than a half magicka build does, than i think its not viable

Strife is okay in the start, especially when you're leveling the skill tree or have extra slots. It's heal isn't that significant though, until later on.

Conjured Ward scale mainly off magicka and to a lesser degree spell damage. Crippling grasp scales off magicka and spell and isn't that useful for stamina.

It's the first power of that tree and till you get Rally and Vigor it's all you got. The heal is 25% of damage dealt with Armor, buffs and CP that cut magic damage even if you land a 2k hit that's a 500 point heal every two seconds for ten seconds it's just not worth it that's literally my health recovery.
