Which Attribute Do You Consider to Be the Most Necessary

It goes without saying that the setup of attributes is contingent on what type of class/character you're playing, but this is not that type of question.

Just from an overall point of view ... Which attribute would you consider to be the most important over the other two to make surviving in Tamriel easier? It would be interesting to see where the majority of the community's head is at.

    Stamina
    Full stamina - stamina builds
    Full magicka - magicka builds

    Faster you nuke mobs the less chance they have to hit you.

    There are better ways of surviving than putting points into health (shields, healing, dodging, blocking) which all require stamina/magicka. Just the way it is.

    EDIT: I personally put 10 points into health until I know my character well enough to be a bit more risky then I go full stam/mag when I'm comfortable

    Stamina
    Stamina = block,dodge,bash and pretty much anything

    It also means extra damage for stamina users.
    So hands down this is the most important stat in general.

    Ofc tanks need life, and magicka users need more magicka.

    Bottom line is if you have no health you ain't doing damage, taking aggro or healing.

    That being said I don't put many points into health because there are ways to manage it.

    If I had to be low on 2 resources and have lots of one at any given point in a fight I'd rather have tons of hit points than stamp or magic as they regeneration easiest.

    It depends on game mode. In PvP I find stamnia to be the most important. When I run out of stamina, I die.

    Stamina
    Depends on pve or pvp. In pvp, no stam= death. In pve, if your primary resource is gone, you can't do your job. But since stamina has more uses in general, it wins.

    You don't do anything with Stamina or Magicka if you are dead.

    Magicka
    Personally, I think there needs to be a completely separate resource bar (similar to the mount's stamina bar) purely for Dodge Roll, Break Free, Sprint and Interrupt. Leaving the rest as it is, including blocking, and we'll be seeing MUCH more smoother gameplay.

    That way, everybody has the same resource pool to spend on dodge rolls, break frees, etc etc.

    Stamina
    I only PVP so stamina
    (playing magicka sorc)

    Still have 25k health and 40k magicka with food of course, but stamina is the most 'vital' in truth

    Im an Argonian so one pot and I am pretty much set as a tank I have 51 points in health. I think it should be 50 health and 15 stanima unless I forgot VR doesn't rank up attributes. Not to mention that VR is converting to CP on consoles. Ile cross that bridge when I get there.

    This is difficult. My Stamina NB can absolutely devastate its targets but so can my Magicka NB/Sorc/Templar. I feel like as long as you go heavy in one or the other with only enough points in health to keep your head above the water. Youll do fine. Ive yet to see a Hybrid Build that can really compare to a Full Stam or Full Mag Build.

    Unless you are a tank, it has been meta for a long time to either pick magic or stam and go all in. Depends on what build you are after as to which is better.

    One cannot answer the questions without some context. A stam build requires stamina. A magika Bulls requires magika. Health is only needed in a measure one needs to survive which depends on context as well.

    Magicka
    I mostly play PvE, so magicka is the most important attribute for my main. If I run out of magicka, I die.

    In PvP, of course, stamina becomes the most important trait, even for magicka builds.

    Health is important, but only in the way that all other attributes are focusing on keeping their health up and their opponents' health down.
    Why be normal when you can be better?
