Since ZOS is pushing hybrid builds now- especially with the racial changes to Khajiit, Dunmer, and Argonian as “pure hybrids”- what do you think about adding spell damage to the sword and board passive?
This would put it in line with DW’s Twin Blade and Blunt passive and 2H’s Heavy Weapons passive.
It could either get the same bonus at the weapon damage or it could split the damage between weapon and spell power.
Thoughts?

Want to enjoy the game more? Try both PvP (crybabies) and PvE (carebears). You'll get a better perspective on everyone's opinion.

helios777✭✭✭✭I wouldn’t mind this at all. If these changes went in effect tomorrow many of the few remaining sword and board damage PvPers would simply switch to a Destro staff now that the passive has been fixed or “reworked”. Fire staff now gives 8% more single target damage just for simply equipping that staff and allows you to keep a full enchant of it unlike sword and board which enchantment is being halved.Grand Warlord HAXERUS.

Retired from Cyrodiil until they finally decide to fix the performance, which is probably never.0 -
Calboy✭✭✭✭✭I'll be switching from sword and board to ice staff next patch and I hate zos for forcing me into that. What sort of crazy stupid game are we playing where a tank uses a fricken staff, seriously. It's the stupidist thing that's ever been implemented in this game.1 -

Lmao s&b tanking is much better than frost staff tanking.0 -

What's this? I must have missed something. S&B is getting halved?0 -

You're both well behind the power curve. Frost stave has been viable on tanking setups for quite some time.KhajiitFelix wrote: »I'll be switching from sword and board to ice staff next patch and I hate zos for forcing me into that.

@StarOfElyon They're halving the enchant bonus of 1 pc weapons compared to two handed's.StarOfElyon wrote: »I wouldn’t mind this at all.

Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

✭✭Oh yeah. I was afraid the passives were being nerfed. I think the enchants should only be reduced if you wield two 1H weapons. They should just reduce the enchant of the weapon in the off-hand.2 -

Removed Weapon Damage passive from 1 hand & shield skill tree0 -
SugaComa✭✭✭✭✭To be honest I'm all for simplifying the game in ways that will be unpopular as it does make class and weapon skills oddly balanced ...but here goes my plan
Simply put the three class skill lines should follow the 3 paths styles ... Heal Damage tank
The morphs should then split into magic and stam varients ...
Weapon skill lines should have passives that help increase both spell and weapon damage ... Weapon damage should effect only weapon skills, spell damage should effect class skill so you have to decide do you spec into spell or weapon damage ...
For the record weapon damage would effect how strong staff abilities are
Weapon damage would effect fighters guild and spell damage mages guild skills
