Battlemage - Sorcerer+Sowrd&board and heavy armor. Stamina/Magicka question.

Tapio75

Im currently playing an Altmer battlemage of sorts. Things that i will not change is class, Armour and equipment, these have to stay.

Question is about magicka and stamina, they affect every ability i use, even normal attacks according what i read.

Magicka seems something that will last for ever, i am only using Mages wrath and Lightning form but if magicka affects their effectiviness, i should get more magicka as well but i dont need it that much as i almost never run out exept if i accidentally agro fourth NPC enemy (I am level 7 at moment)

Stamina is other, it feels that it is spread too thin. I have fortress passive which makes blocking and abilities on Sword&board skill line bit cheaper. I only use block and puncture, low slash drains too much stamina for one battle if i plan to effectively block attacks and dodge too. To add to that, i love sneaking. i done sneaking in all TES games before. I like going silently but in this game, sneaking drains stamina which is something i feel is just stupid considering how thin Stamina is spread.

It seems Stamina is used in everything and magicka only for spells (Like it should)

The need of stamina tempts me to put everythinhg to stamina right now but if magicka is needed to get some damage out of Stormcalling, i need that too.

Currently on l7 i have 3 magicka and 3 stamina. Is my stamina ever going to be enough if i use everything 50/50 or should i get more stamina than magicka? Willl getting 25/75 Magicka stamina distribution hurt my Stormcalling too much?

Sorcs have a hard time with stamina regen, with my Nightblade if I pay attention I can pretty much have an on going supply of stamina, but you have no class ability to regain stamina outside of your regen.

I used a 1M 2H 1S skew for my attributes. I use my armor glyphs and mundus stone glyphs to rebalance my attribute skew. There are several armor sets out there with fixed attribute glyphs. You may need one set for one thing and a different set for another. With a heavily skewed attribute allotment you may not have the flexibility to rebalance your attributes when wearing those fixed sets.
