✭✭✭✭✭10.5 max magicka to 1 spell damage for most abilities. 40 magicka to 1 spell damage for weapon attacks
To avoid confusion, 40 to 1 is basic light and heavy attacks. So a destro staff heavy attack uses the 40 to 1 ratio. But a destro staff skill like Force Pulse uses the 10.5 to 1 ratio.1 -
dpencil✭✭✭✭@Lord_Wrath You want to consider the cumulative strength of both your max magicka pool and raw spell damage. Here are two examples of unbuffed stats with the same cumulative strength:
50k magicka (÷10.5 = 4762) + 2200 spell damage = 6962
42k magicka (÷10.5 = 4000) + 2962 spell damage = 6962
Weapon attacks will be a little weaker with the first setup but other things that are buffed directly by max magicka like shields and pets will be stronger.
I think anything over 6500 cumulative strength is good. 7000+ unbuffed would be great. (48k + 2500 / 50k + 2300 / 52k + 2100)Edited by dpencil on January 18, 2017 6:15AM3 -
dpencil✭✭✭✭All of that disregards other factors to be considered, like crit chance and magicka regen. You may want to balance these somewhat against simply going for the highest raw power.1

A few things you need to get +40k magicka:- 64 Attributes into Magicka
- Max CPs gets you around +20% Magicka
- Racial passives for Argonian. Altmer, Dunmer, or Breton
- Gold Magicka enchantments on all items
- Undaunted Mettle 2 passive which gives +6% to Health/Magicka/Stamina if wearing 1 of each armor type (Magicka users will wear 5L/1M/1H)
- Inner Light skill slotted along with passives gives +7%
- Bound Armor skill slotted if sorcerer
- Blue Health+Magicka food
- (optional) Set with +Magicka (Necropotence, Grothgarr, etc...)
Now you don't necessarily need all of these to reach 40k but every little bit helps. For example my max CP Breton Templar with Grothgarr is just under 44k magicka typically.Reorx Holybeard -- NA/PC

So More spell power is better overall? Im just trying to archive close to 3.5.-4k Spell Power that is shown on the character sheet. Would that be better then crit over all?0 -

Well the equations are so slight that its pretty impossible to line up each ability etc. So if you want max magicka vs spell damage you should weigh:
Why magicka over Spell dmg:
Sorc Pets?
Wards size
Curse/Frag used more often
Why spl dmg over magicka:
Other forms of resistance (other than ward)
Using Clench and or other weapon abilities more often
Weaving
And posting pics on forums (lol)
Now about crit. I need to learn a bit more but Crit is considered King, the most effective and efficient way to increase dps. Uually if its magicka/spell dmg vs crit, crit usually wins.0 -

66 going to 60 is absolutely fine. Most people recommend 50% ish so you're good there. As a NB i feel max magicka is gonna be better for you over spell damage (remember you do want both!)

So More spell power is better overall? Im just trying to archive close to 3.5.-4k Spell Power that is shown on the character sheet. Would that be better then crit over all?
Well the equations are so slight that its pretty impossible to line up each ability etc. So if you want max magicka vs spell damage you should weigh:
Why magicka over Spell dmg:
Sorc Pets?
Wards size
Curse/Frag used more often
Why spl dmg over magicka:
Other forms of resistance (other than ward)
Using Clench and or other weapon abilities more often
Weaving
And posting pics on forums (lol)
Now about crit. I need to learn a bit more but Crit is considered King, the most effective and efficient way to increase dps. Uually if its magicka/spell dmg vs crit, crit usually wins.
Well im at about 66% crit i figured i could drop 6% to increase my power by about 700 between magicka and direct spell power.
Also im a NB not a sorc lol
Also are Monster set Required for end game?
NBs... lol he's my alt I wish I could steal some of those passives...
Anyway!
66 going to 60 is absolutely fine. Most people recommend 50% ish so you're good there. As a NB i feel max magicka is gonna be better for you over spell damage (remember you do want both!)
I like your statz. Btw 700 dmg well worth the 6% crit
i just learned you dont even need a healer for trails, let alone a NB healer LOL all that work for nothing

not sure what your second set is but you could try doubling up.

The best I've seen of Pelinal is with werewolf, there seems to be really good synergy there. I've never had a toon be a werewolf before unfortunately.0 -

I did actually have that at one time but went back to willpower rings and necklace. It did give more magicka but I run 2 destro and like wearing either the kena set or infernal guardian set so can't have 2 5 piece sets at the same time.
