Does weapon skill line XP affect weapon power/damage?

Reco · May 2014

Hi, does increasing XP in a weapon skill line (say destruction staff) increase the power of the weapon (damage you deal with it) or is the XP only good for unlocking and developing the abilities in the skill line?

I'd say the latter. But honestly, i haven't tested it beyond eye-balling as my weapon skill levels go up, so my answer is just anecdotal.

Has anybody tested this?

it doesnt increase ur power no. but it helps increase the damage of the skills in that skillline abit. and ofc unlocking new abilities

No. Skill line EXP does nothing for your damage. Individual skill ranks, on the other hand, do (for most skills).

As they said above, for each rank an ability gains, non-morphed and even AFTER morphed, increases it's OOMPH!

Your 1-50 skill in the line has no effect on the damage your skills do. What does effect it is how much total magika/stam you have, the rank of the skill, your level in some case, and your spell dmg or weapon dmg.
