Executioner causes all Assassination abilities to restore your Magicka whenever you kill an enemy. Note that you must land the final killing blow with an ability from the Assassination line for it to work. If you severely damage an enemy with an Assassination skill but then finish them off with another skill or a standard attack, it won't work.
Patch Notes[edit]
- This passive ability no longer requires you to get the killing blow with an Assassination ability to trigger its resource return; it now has a 2-second grace period after damaging the enemy with an Assassination ability where it can still trigger the proc. It also now restores either Magicka or Stamina, whichever you have a higher maximum of, and restores that resource instantly instead of over 6 seconds.
- Developer Comments:This passive ability will be more useful for tanks who weren't able to get killing blows, and stamina Nightblades who can now get stamina. It also makes the proc more reliable in multiplayer situation where multiple players attacking the enemy.
