1k health vs 1k magicka

What would be better since my health in pvp sits at 19k without extra 1k health from skoria and with the extra 1k magicka my abilities hit about 200 more dmg than without it. So would it be better to get the health or the magicka?
Edit: decided to change to tri stat food and for me it has helped me so much more than potent brew as I dont die to stam issues and I just put dark conversion on my overload bar

    Is this for a sorc?
    Do you run in small groups or large?

    Go for the health. If your shields get dropped you'll die in one incap + surprise attack

    Hard to say. more mag = bigger shields. I'm not sure how you got your health so low though..

    Mine is around 23k and the only things adding to it are a single tri-stat enchant, the %boost from the pet passives (8% I think?), and the health bonus for a single heavy piece(2%?). There are no +health set bonuses or enchants involved and no stat points spent on health..

    I mean almost 10k of my health is just from the cyro bonus and food. Are you missing food?

    1K is not going to make a huge difference either way:
    • Rarely will 1k be the difference between living an dying - it's less than 1 light attack damage for most
    • 1k magicka will give a a slightly larger pool and a little more damage, but will be < the cast cost of a single spell, in most cases

    What is your current scenario? If you're dying more, add the health. If you need to hit harder or run out of resources, add the magicka.

    The good news is, it amounts to a single glyph on a major armor piece, for the most part, so if you don't like the setup, it's easy enough to choose the other option.
    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    If you don't have 22k Health on your Sorc you will get 3 shot by every stamina class once your shields are down.

    If you're in light armor, as a sorc should be, you want the health.

    I like to run 22k-24k on light armor builds to help with some of the burst, in this case the 1pc skoria is probably better overall imo
