Anyone know how much more cloaking a Breton Stamina NB can do compared to other races just based on their racials?

    You should be able to use it 9000 times more compared to any other race.

    Probably a decent amount more, but that doesn't make it worth it at all.

    Stamina NB.

    The question you should be asking yourself is “how much less damage can a Breton Stamina NB do compared to actual stamina-oriented races?”

    my question was specifically about how much more cloaking a Breton can do based purely on racial.
    if you think it is dumb i don't care
    if you think I'm wasting time i don't care
    if you feel a need to inform me i can do more damage playing another race.. i don't care.. i was asking a question
    if you don't care then feel free to not post a reply.

    All of the above, but I applaud this response.

    The answer depends on a few variables. I assume you want to compare against a stam race with no mag bonuses? I can crunch the numbers for you if you post your current race, mag pool size, mag recovery, and cloak cost for the non-Breton toon you're thinking about changing.

    I am someone who doesn't care about min/max. I play to enjoy the game. I haven't created a character yet, but i am very visually drawn so my interest is either making a Nord or a Breton. It needs to be a stamina build because i don't like magic weapons. How much more cloaking can be done being a Breton vs being a Nord.

    Probably better off testing it on the PTS so you can race change a max level Nightblade multiple times without consequence.

    Shadow disguise* is 3969* magicka before any outside reductions like armor or passives. Bretons get 2k extra mag and 7% reduction. So it’s pretty good.

    Imho, you’d be better off stacking magicka regen if you want to spam cloak, out of combat my thief character can spam it 4* times and if I wait for the entire duration each time I can get off 2-3* more before resting. So with a Breton you might be looking at 5-6* times more after the initial 4* deplete you mag pool. Possible, this isn’t a scientific answer.

    * is an Edit for numbers, also I have 17068 mag and 611 mag regen on my Bosmer stamnb, with his passives Shadow disguise is 3705.

    Again, the answer depends on these variables. It's impossible to accurately answer without the stats. You need "before" numbers to calculate "after" numbers.

    I could give you an approximation using someone else's stamblade numbers, but they'd have to come from a PC player because Wrathstone hasn't dropped on console yet. I just need mag pool size, mag recovery, and cloak cost for a generic stamblade with no Max Mag, Mag Recovery, or Mag cost reduction bonuses.

    I guess an approximation is all I'm seeking
    Also how much DPS would I be losing from going to Breton from Nord?
    As playing a stamina NB

    Well, here's an approximation. You should be able to chain 1 extra cast before running out of juice. And after fully depleting your mag pool, non-mag races will take ~14 seconds to cast again, while Bretons will be able to cast ~3 seconds earlier. Just remember it depends on your specific stats.

    My dunmer magblade may live in cloak if needed.
    And you may actually build a melee magblade, and dunmers look better, and dunmer may switch between stam/magicka at will now. Ditch humans, for blade class go dunmer.

    P.S. I know it is not what you asked.

    You can do what I do and use Tri Stat enchants on my Chest, helmet legs for a little more hp and magicka, It helps quite a bit especially when gankblades are squishy.

    if your just having fun, maybe build a hybrid nightblade...use physical damage weapons, but, buff up your magicka enough to not only cloak to your heart's content but use some of the other awesome magicka based nightblade abilities...

    Stamina NB.

    im a dunmer stamblade. before racials changed, i used to do 3 cloak back to back but with the regeneration while i was in cloak, i could use it 4 times. i didnt have any magicka bonus whatsoever. only 9 percent magicka bonus to my standard magicka.

    With new passives i believe i can do it 4 times in a row and with regeneration over time while im in cloak, its 5.

    i assume the same thing for breton.

    That is tricky question. Hard to give one exact number as an answer because it's changing based on setup , playstyle and fight scenario so more data would be needed to give some answers.

    Stamina NB.

    It's tough to answer your question simply, for several reasons:
    • The question is a bit ill-formed. Do you mean "How much cloaking can I do in X period of time?" For what X?
    • The answer depends on the details of your build. And since you're not optimizing, there's no way for us to confidently guess the details of your build.
    • It would be very easy for you to do the arithmetic yourself, so that raises some doubt as to whether the question you appear to be asking is the you really are wondering about.

    I would have thought it’s not a easy answer for your question as it would depend on how much mag stat you have, how much mag regen or/and cost reduction you have even with Breton passive

    Depending on total magic recovery, that will determine the total amount. But off hand, before these changes have hit live, I could usually get 2 more cloaks in rapid succession than my stamina buddies... I survived way more often than they ever did when ganks didn't go in our favor.

    With the update, I'd say easily 3 more cloaks.

    If I made no mistake...

    With 1300 Magicka Recovery and 34 000 Max Magicka without racials
    You can use it 17 times

    For a breton : 1400 Magicka Recovery and 36 000 Max Magicka with racials and -7% Magicka Cost
    You can use it 23 times
