Khajiit Necro magicka here.
Casual player. Just last year I got serious and equipped sets. I play solo. 800+ CP. All overland content, save for the World Bosses in the expansion Chapters. I can grind through the Treasure Hunter set dungeon without death, just need to be patient with the last three bosses. That's my comfort limit at the moment. All my characters have max crafting.
I Use 5 x Mother's Sorrow, weapons, hat, rings, 2 x Julianos feet and legs, 5 x Treasure Hunter.
To cut to some numbers and avoid a detailed list of my gear and CP etc...
Currently Bonus Critical Damage is currently 20% and Critical Chance is 61.3%/68.5% front/back bar.
With OW replacing MS I estimate that I'll get 28% Bonus Crit Damage and 59% Critical Chance front/back.
Currently, my Spell penetration is 7274 and I feel that should be more but I seem to do okay in overland content. I'd definitely use The Lover if soloing a dungeon.
I feel that OW will be a net gain for me in terms of damage dealt.
But the ease with which it can be made makes me think that it is really supposed to be "Mother's Sorrow Lite" for very very new players who aren't quite up to getting hold of MS. Thus... I have made a mistake here.
Throwing OW on all my magicka characters will cost a pretty penny in resources so I'm seeking your help. Good or bad move?
