I started and finished the main Hermaeus Mora questline (and Psijic - I just love the talking skull) with a Breton Majicka build. Thus far my favorite skill (other than “Book Laser!”) is the tentacle arm, but it seems the better morph is the Stamina version. Do I change my whole build around for that, or do I continue the Majicka path? One benefit of the current path is it pretty easily pivots into a Healer, which the world seems to need more of.
I’m considering the same thing but I’ll probably stick with the magicka until it gets nerfed which probably won’t be too much longer. That book laser is just crazy powerful.
There’s a stam build on Deltia’s site which I’ve been using (tentacle + book). There’s a couple other tricks in the build which are quite nice as well. It’s been a lot of fun!
I am playing a Redguard stam arcanist and I really love it. My other character is a Magicka Warden so it has been a fun change of pace, and I think the stamina build works really well with the majority of the skills. (Also, book laser is my FAVORITE!) I am definitely DPS though. Magicka would lend itself well to healing if that’s where you want to end up.
I’d say go ahead and use the Stam morph if you want to. Things like damage and such now scale based solely on your highest-cap resource, not specifically one or the other. So if you want to use Cephaliarch’s Flail with your magicka build for big bursty damage, go right ahead! It won’t impact anything too important. Sure, you won’t be able to spam it, but by the time you build up the Crux to cast again, you’ll probably have regenerated that stamina again.
