What's the very best tripot that can be made for stamina builds?

I'm trying to flex my new alchemy muscles and do my VR15 stamina templar a favour... So far, I've discovered 'Essence of Weapon Power' (Major Brutality; Major Savagery; Restore Stamina; Major Endurance) which uses Blessed Thistle, Dragonthorn and Water Hyacinth, but was wondering whether anybody had a better tried and tested combination.

Depending, if you use lots of magika abilities like cloak on nb for example or fossilize on a dk, go with tri stats.

If you only use 1-2 low cost long timer magika buffs, run stam, hp and immovability.

Otherwise the stam, crit, weapon damage pot is an option if you dont have rally or evil hunter available for those buffs.

You have to be careful because not all effects stack - You can only have a Major and a Minor from each effect, not two Majors.

In your case Major Savagery from a potion will not stack with Major Savagery from Evil Hunter. If you have Evil Hunter then you won't get the increase in weapon critical from Essence of Weapon Power.

It's annoying because you choose skills for their buffs and then find they inhibit the effect of potions (Green Dragon Blood is another example).

Only magic is the templar shield skill - it's stamina regen I'm after. It seems hard to get enough of that in the game; magicka appears to be much easier to replenish, but that's just in my experience. I'm trying to use Rally as pretty much my only healing (plus evil hunter) which is working out quite a lot of the time.

Thanks!

Ah, thank you. That makes sense, so I shall have to be cleverer!
