New Player help

Hello

Im a new player so if this is a silly question, im sorry.

Im currently levelling a Nightblade focusing on Stamina, im only low level level but im curious about something:

When you are a higher level and are fully focused into a stamina build, is there any use at all for magicka? as all my skills on bars will be for stamina, and the two weapon bars will be all stamina abilities?

Will the magicka bar be displayed on the left, and never used at all?

Hope someone gets me :)

Thanks in advance.

    Depends on your build. Siphoning Strikes used to cost magicka and was very important for many stamina Nightblade builds, but now it costs stamina. If you are in PvP your Cloak, if you use it, will cost magicka. If you use Agony in Maelstrom Arena that will cost magicka. There are a few other potential examples but not many. So you probably won't be using *much* magicka, but you might use some. Still, you get some of each attribute when you level up and you can get more of each attribute from food, so there is no need for a stamina Nightblade to spend attribute points on magicka. Go all-in for stamina.

    I have a endgame Stamblade that uses 0 magicka.

    It's kind of a waste since you get about 10k base magicka anyways without spending any points in it.
    If i could only find a decent magicka skill to put into my rotation ...

    I usually keep concealed weapon and cloak slotted. I don't actually use concealed weapon, though. I just slot it for the speed increase. :p

    If you plan to turn your character into a werewolf for some reason, there is a self-healing skill that will cost you magicka.
    Even so, don't invest in Magicka as a Stamblade.
