What is the role of Weapon and spell penetration? How is it tactially different from crit?

The first one will never happen, the second one is supposedly coming in U13, but will more than likely be gigantic blanket nerfs because that's the only thing Wrobel is capable of. The other problem is that the mindset from the combat team is that: A) Style is more important than actual substance, meaning that they'll implement something that "looks cool" without giving any thought to balancing; and B) Wrobel himself has said that their aim is for players to be able to pick up the game and instantly be good at it without actually having to learn the nuances of their specific choices in race, class, playstyle. This explains why there's an increasing amount of proc sets in the game.


Penetration is what allows you to ignore mitigation that either bosses or other players have. Crit is just double damage. Probably the simplest explanation.

In what circumstances do I want pen over crit?

Do boss monsters have "armor" as such? Do they deal crit damage? When do I want weapon damage stat over crit or penetration?

is there any sense to why some pubblies don't like spamming wrecking blow and snipe? A build-up attack against a single target seems like the ideal against a boss.

I like Willpower/Agility too much.


is the 3pc ability on the willpower set meant to be more powerful than the 3rd pieces of other sets? Because it doesn't have a flashy ability it's just stats.

50% higher stats than those other 3 pieces, so yes. Though, if you can afford it/got the patience for it, Infallible/Vicious Ophidian/Moondancer/Alkosh jewelry alone is better for PvE simply because of the Minor Slayer buff.

How do i git gud at interpreting stats?

And they can still do DW swords. With a zappy staff on the back bar. The swords make your spells hit hard.

"is it vet difficulty?" then be level 50 CP 160, not because of difficulty but its kind of pointless to get valued set drops that you will outlevel in a day



It's also demoralizing to have a <160 dps even if thats snobby and irrational, everyone's thinking it.

No, regular armor dyeing is still as free as it was before.
What costs gold is creating a custom outfit to override your current gear visuals.

I just tested it. It cost me gold to just dye.

How soon did Morrowind first go on sale?

Baron Porkface
Jan 22, 2007


There are a lot of sets, food and drink, and glyphs that increase all three stats or all three regens. Theres also the food and drink that increases mag and stam.

Unless you are a pvp magika user who wants to use some stam to roll dodge, are these of any use? Do stam users tend to put one or two magic abilities?

Is this a thing for new purchases? I see base game with Summerset and base game with Morrowind options but I don't see Morrowind listed as coming with Summerset. Considering buying this to kill some free time and might do it if Morrowind comes with Summerset.

It's a pre-order, keep in mind that Summerset hasn't officialy launched yet so it's still available.

Beefeater posted:

All of these things are largely build dependent. PvE DPS shines when focused on either magicka or stamina exclusively (on my stamblade I don't have a single piece of gear or use a consumable that assists in magicka totals/damage in any way). PvE tanks tend to need resources from both pools, and thus stack both magicka and stamina to some degree whilst keeping their health total high. And as you mentioned, plenty of PvP builds make use of both resource pools.

It can also be situational. Plenty of folks use tri-stat food on a magicka character while doing Maelstrom Arena due to having to dodge roll a bunch.

Why does a stamtank want magic?
