Sorcery question

Dj Strife·Nov 14, 2015·1 votes·651 views

So noobish question but curious. So Sorcery says +2.0% ( At 5Th Rank ) ABILITY and SPELL Damage.

So what is the difference between Ability and Spell? is Ability the translation of you AP? or Spell Damage?

Is spell damage the base value of a Skill before adding in Ratios?

Or is an Ability any Skill you use?

For example, does Garen's E Spinning count as an "Ability" therefore +2%? Or is this just some stupid we couldn't pick and name and went with both?

Any help is appreciated, Thank you in advance.

it's a bad mastery in general regardless of what the meaning is.

if you deal 100 dmg, you deal an extra 2. if you deal 500 damage, you deal an extra 10. 0/10 not worth my mastery points.

But it all adds up, hence why there is reduced 2 damage from champions/deal 5 damage to minions, stuff like that. And honestly not all champs need the Atk Spd. I feel the masteries now are very limited and lead to many unwanted choices just to get the final talent, which makes up for your champions weakness. Masteries should not do that!!!

Ok, let's say you had a carry performance on a caster like Lucian. You'll have dealt something like 60k damage. If you never autoattacked, you only get a bonus 1200 damage from the mastery. I'm assuming that you've auto-attacked a whole bunch, so your damage from abilities was probably something like 30k damage, so you only get 600 extra damage.

If you had attack speed, you could auto a whole bunch more, which would add up to way more than 600 extra damage. Early attack speed makes it easier to last-hit too. The sorcery mastery is pretty much exclusively for mages (hint: sorcery is a form of magic).
