Weapons that restore Magicka OR Stamina

Should ESO fix their poor system design by allowing a toggle on all weapons to restore EITHER magicka OR stamina on light/heavy attacks, thus allowing greater flexibility for builds and greater variety for weapon options?

    I'd prefer to see 1h / melee weapons that are specificly designed to restore magicka (e.g. wands, rune stones) over a toggle that allows my fire staff to restore stamina and my bow to restore magicka.

    You mean like the "absorb" glyphs you can enchant your weapons with? You know; the ones that will deal damage and restore health OR stamina OR magicka?

    Would dumb down resource management quite a bit if suddenly everyone could restore both stamina and magicka with heavy attacks. It's bad enough as is.

    Stupid poll is stupid. Provide real option choices or don't bother making a thread.

    And for what it's worth, they already have what you speak of:
    Add them to whatever weapon you like.
    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    Actually variety and options are fine, within the confines of a system that makes sense and maintains some sort of connection to game world theory.

    I like Lolo's suggestion for wands and rune stones, to give magicka users a dual wield option.

    YES.

    Do by way of bound weapons, a 40s ability turning your current weapons l/h attacks into mag damage and restoring mag. Have it give major sorcery or some other buff that allows it to replace something else in the kit.

    Put it in the soul magic tree for vestige lore stuff.

    to be exactly you can already restore that with your heavy attacks,
    and
    you can pick some steal mag/stam/health glyphs on your weapons
    and
    you can choose a fitting mundus to get more sustain
    and
    and you can wear 5,6,7 parts light for magicka or medium for stamina

    wait

    you wearing heavy, though your dmg relies on wether magicka or stamina!
    that is why you smartball made this poll

    you are a troll and you get no love for this poll

    The answer would be no. It wouldn't make sense for a weapon that is stamina based to return magicka.

    It's cool if someone wants to us a dStaff with their stamblade cause it rocks. However they could simply place a stamina weapon in their back bar and use that to return stamina.

    But seriously. It's not going to happen. It would basically be like crossing the streams.

    I would love to have a magicka one handed sword/dagger/ax/mace. What I want to do is put a stamina weapon in one hand and a magicka weapon in the other so I can duel wield on my hybrid NB and get a return on both magicka and stamina at the same time. Magicka melee weapons would do magic damage instead of physical, use magicka, return magicka. Would be all over that in a heartbeat.

    It's funny people suggesting a glyph of Magicka return.. yeah, that 535 Magicka every 5/s does SO MUCH for sustain... NOT! Especially when you get 1000's of resource return on a regular heavy attack.

    As other's suggested... ANY weapon should restore your highest attribute with heavy attack IMO.

    i hate the whole idea of heavy attacks restoring resources. it doesnt make any sense- in fact its the reverse. they might as well of made jumping restore stamina. but rune s wouldnt be a bad fix to an inhernetly bad design.

    We just need a NEW one handed weapon option that restores magicka on heavy attacks.
