Damage dealing in this game requires using light attacks between every skill cast. Because light attacking all the time while dealing damage increases your total damage like at least 25%. And sword light attacks will deal very low damage on a Magicka build.

Why would i not still use light attack/attack with the melee weapon?

i dont understand this.

The melee weapons damage isnt based on stamina or magicka is it?

in that video above, the guys weapon said something like 1100 damage and 6000 shock damage or something.

now i just quickly saw this https://youtu.be/MWJX26djd0c?t=1698
Skip to 28:00

and his melee weapon on his stamina build is pretty much exactly the same stats...but in stead of shock damage its poison...

So, why would i not use the same weapon a stamina user is using to attack with as a magicka user?

i would still attack with that melee weapon. just for my build i wouldnt be using any of the melee weapon skills

Because weapons are based on stamina and magicka actually.

Staff damage is enhanced by max magicka and other weapons damage is enhanced by max stamina.

Heavy attacks also regen magicka or stamina based on the weapons type. So staves regen magicka and other weapons regen stamina.

Since heavy attack is a very important part of sustain in a rotation, you can't just cut it out, you'll stave your build and won't do as much damage as others. And since your light attack isn't attuned with the proper resource pool, you'll do less damage between skills.

So back to basics : ESO doesn't like hybrids. You either go full magicka or full stamina as a DPS, there is no way around it.

then what do you say about this post? https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/435637/weapon-damage-and-stamina

where everyone is saying that Stamina does not increase weapon damage

so if weapon damage isnt affected by stamina or anything..why do you say they would be doing low damage on a magicka build when magicka or stamina has no effect on the weapon damage at all?

I would hardly call 4 people talking in a topic everyone but yeah, they are not directly related, I shouldstop simplifying things. But that doesn't change anything. magicka ups your magic skills, spell damage ups your magic skills, staff uses spell damage for attack damage, staff and spells use both spell crit and spell crit damage and spell penetration. Staff heavy attack regen magicka. Light armor sets (and light armor passives are spell and magicka attuned) are 99% of the time spell damage + magicka. Staff passives work with spell damage and magicka.

there is just no way to put stamina in there (and the opposite is true for stamina and stamina weapons, you can't use a staff correctly with stamina skills).

[Brownstone]

There is only one way to test it. Unequip every piece of gear you have and unslot all your skills. equip a staff and a physical weapon and test the damage against something. Activate the damage numbers display setting. you can compare it that way.

As far as I know they recently buffed weapons based on your max resource, which made light attacks much stronger. I might be wrong.

Yeah I totally forgot the summerset update :

Rebalanced the Light and Heavy Attack damage scaling ratios so that Light and Heavy Attacks now scale their damage in the same way that normal abilities do – Max Magicka and Max Stamina is now a greater contributing factor towards their damage.

Rebalanced Light and Heavy Attack damage across weapon types to reinforce the concept that Light Attacks are for dealing damage and Heavy Attacks are for restoring resources. In general, this means:

Light Attacks with One Hand and Shield, Dual Wield, Bow, Destruction Staff, and Restoration Staff weapons will deal more damage.
Light Attacks with Two Handed weapons will deal less damage.
Heavy Attacks with Destruction Staff and Restoration Staff weapons will deal more damage.
Heavy Attacks with Two Handed, One Hand and Shield, Dual Wield, and Bow weapons will deal less damage.

So yeah, magicka does work on staff attacks.
