I think it would be healthier for the game if most skills were designed to utilize the higher stat, rather than stam or mag morphs; consider the build diversity gained by selecting morphs based on utility or damage instead of what stat pool they drain.

Actually, i would take this even further:

- Restrict Stamina to only be used for basics that are shared for all characters like sprinting, blocking, dodging etc.

- Rename Magicka to something more generic and have all skills use that pool exclusively


Basically, get rid of the whole Stamina/Magicka duality for skills, have one resource dedicated for basic movement/mobility and one dedicated for skills.

We once had that, that was the intended design of the game combat system (that took almost a decade to develop lol) at launch. Magika for Classes, Stam for utility and weapons (as you must remember, I know you do).

They caused an unnecessary divide within the community when they got rid of Soft Caps system.... simultaneously it also ruined the build diversity that they now struggle to bring back (by bringing the nerf hammer to the most utilized skills), destroyed Hybrid and caused massive imbalance between skills (due to how they scaled) and created OP skills that were kept in check by said Soft Caps ... oh well...

Yes, i remember

I think if they went back to that and removed weapons from the Stamina pool and made it a truly shared pool that all classes use for the same basics like movement etc. and then have all skills and weapons scale of the second pool, that would help immensely with build diversity because it would allow everyone to use any skill/morph their class offers.

I completely agree, because I had the same idea a while back. They could solve so many balance problems by doing this!

I don't see them doing it, though, because the development needed would be so expensive and time-consuming that they might as well make a new game and call it ESO 2.

Lmao i hope so it would make me play and learn a non pet sorc build because pet sorc's are way to easy to past up in pve and pvp they are easy mode.
