    They should change the name of those stats to make them easier to understand. Even if you know that weapon damage doesn't affect the damage of your staff, many people still misunderstand them. For example there are lots of people who think that +258 Spell damage actually increases the damage done by spells by 258. Also many people think major sorcery (+20% Spell damage) increases the damage of spells by 20%. Not the players fault.

    Spell Damage > Magical Power
    Weapon Damage > Physical Power

    Also get rid of nonsense numbers. If Precise can say "7.2% critical" why can't sets say "3.8% critical" instead of the "833 critical"?

    Wait, do you mean Major sorcery (potions or gear) don't increase damage of spells ?

    It does. Not by 20% tho. Your damage done is based on a calculation using Spell Damage and Max Magicka. So increasing your Spell damage stat by 20% doesn't increase your damage done by 20%. It approximately increases by around 10% but it also depends on the build. For example my pvp build has almost 50k Max Magicka and very low Spell damage so increasing it by 20% has very little effec on my damage while it would be extremely powerful if i could increase my Max Magicka by 20% instead.

    Dunmer necros represent! The difference in numbers is negligible, no need to switch imho :)

    Hello,
    Today i created a Dunmer necromancer (DD), but because of the lore, and because i didn't wanted to play another time Aldmeri domain (my sorcerer is Altmer) i decided to create a Dunmer.
    My friends told me i made a mistake, they told me i should have got the Altmer, but the dunmer have more dps (weapon+spells) and the altmer more regen.
    What are your thought ?
    Thanks
    Ced

    Wait, you wanted to make your necro specifically Dunmer, because of the lore? Uhh...

    In practice, Dunmer and Altmer are equal. Altmer gets a bit more damage on paper but that difference is conpensated with 1 missed light attack or by RNGJesus by a bit better luck with crts.
