High Willpower/Low Intelligence bad?

I tried configuring that.... but nothing changed and it made the game crash once. I even raised the magicka regen by a mad amount and that didn't make a change either.

 

Guess I need to find some nice looking tiny shield to use.

Go into console by pressing ~

 

Then do player.setav magicka (put whatever number here)

Dang, I was toying with a shield for her and now she always has an angry face. As if the game doesn't throw enough problems at you :wallbash:

I guess I'll work willpower mostly. I installed Supreme Magicka to make up for tougher enemies and I believe is does boost the effectiveness of regen from willpower(.034 compared to .02), but my magicka regen is even more horrid now starting out.

 

If I boost my block skill high enough, will I negate more damage while blocking with a staff?

 

Keep in mind those values are for out of combat regeneration in Supreme Magicka. In combat your regeneration (ignoring Mage sign) scales as 0.0033, a tenth of what it is out of combat. To disable SM from affecting the combat regeneration as well set zzSMConfigurationQuest.MagickaCombatBase to -1. If this was causing the crashing just copy the values for out of combat into your in combat values. Also make sure to modify the mage sign values if you do this as you don't want them to have lower regen rates than without the sign...

 

A suitable middle ground I find would be to make the Mage sign match the rates of out of combat, whereas without the sign you only have a third of the rate. Keep in mind, magic regeneration in Supreme Magicka makes Willpower a more important attribute in regeneration, but not necessarily higher. In SM the regen rate is on par with Vanilla at about 50 Willpower, worse when below 50, and a fair bit better above 50 (about 25% better at 100 Willpower).
