Stat---Power?

Soto

Hello

 

I thought I saw, somewhere, a stat called Power. What classes need a high Power score? I can not find a site that list all the stats nor what is best for the different classes.

Curious about this as well. Bump!

There is no real 'Power' stat.

As for the base stats, you have: Magicka, Health, & Stamina.

Some skills have a tooltip that says something like 'adds X Weapon Power, or adds X Spell Power'. I'm not sure if this a typo or intentional, but essentially what that means is Weapon Damage, or Spell Damage. It boosts the base damage of either your weapon attacks, or your spell attacks. You will also see this same stat in the stat screen listed under Weapon Damage, and Spell Damage.

As to what classes need more of which, it's not class specific. Weapon Damage is for builds that rely more heavily on weapon damage. Spell Damage is for builds that rely more heavily on Magicka abilities. Furthermore you can boost stamina for weapon builds to boost damage, and boost magicka for magic based builds to boost spell damage and healing.

Haven't seen it as a stat per se; however, when looking at skill descriptions, there are several that state "spell power" or "weapon power" will be increased on the next attack after "something" occurs.

So, presumably there is some stat somewhere that we can't see... like our buffs and debuffs... which ought to drive the min-max'ers nuts...

Stamina and Magic take the place of a power stat. The size of each pool determine the power of attacks, depending on which resource that attack uses.

Generally speaking skills/attacks that use Stamina scale with your Stamina. Skills/attacks that use Magic scale with your Magicka.

Spellpower and weapon power are part of your statsheet...

spellpower determines the damage ( or part of it ) done by magica based attacks

weapon power determines the damage (or part of it ) done by stamina based attacks

 

It could be they also affect hit / miss rating... But i can only guess at that..

This is not entirely true, you can see your buffs and debuffs on the stat screen just need to scroll down.
