No Magicka Melee Set?

kaithuzar · October 2016

There are sets to buff melee damage, sets to buff fire damage, sets to buff lightning damage, sets to buff poison damage, & sets to buff general weapon & spell damage.
But why is there no set to specifically buff magicka melee damage???

I can use sword singer to give 2 hander abilities 400 weapon damage, or netch's touch to give 400 spell damage to shock abilities. Why is there no set which allows me to buff my lotus fan or concealed strike on my melee magicka nightblade??? An extra 400 spell damage to concealed strike might actually put magicka nightblades in a good place rather than down in the dumps; which is what the current meta feels like.

There isn't a set that specifically buffs magicka melee damage, but I think the closest thing to what you describe would be the necropotence set, as it just gives just a whole load of magicka( which then buffs magicka damage in general). Im not sure on the exact conversion between spell damage and max magicka, but I was under the impression that its around 1 spell damage for every 10 magicka. This is a pretty good set in pvp since you might have shadow image on one of your bars anyway, but for pve, Im unsure if necropotence stacks up against some of the other dps sets, such as scathing mage or spinners and such.

btw necropotence gives 3 max magicka set bonuses on the 2,3, and 4 set pieces, and the 5th pieces grants 4k max magicka when golded. So assuming my spell damage to max magicka conversion is about right, thats pretty much 400 spell damage. Hopefully someone can confirm that conversion.

on my pvp mNb, fully buffed+ necropotence my concealed weapon tooltip is a little above 10k, Im wearing 5h/2l, and 2 of my jewelry pieces are magicka regen instead of spell damage.

I feel ya. Don't forget that soul harvest and conceal decide to not work half the time and they're dodged by shuffle the other half, yet when I have double take and they retaliate I get hit with every proc in the book along with incap.

Magica Night blades down it the dumps, that's effin funny.

Andnin under five post the dodge chance complaint to just need a stamina NB to come in here and ask for stamina NB buff.

It would be cool if there was a melee, spell damage set - but not holding my breath.

There needs to be a 'magic damage' set like stamina has a 'physical damage' set.

There will never be a purely good magicka set. With in all this time, know when the deck was stacked against you.

Dont forget you need pet for that 5th bonus.. So totally useless for templars
I cant understand why u need pet for 5th bonus but stamina players dont need to have it for hulking draugh
So they have set for increase weapon dmg and max stamina
Mag templars doesnt have anything

Thx ZOS
