How much Stam is too little?

Curious about a khajiit Stam Build using dubious and 3 bloodthirsty. Stam drops below 30k by a fair amount. At what point does your dps suffer from a smaller stat pool when incorporating bloodthirsty?

Are you PvE or PvP, and which class and playstyle (if PvP)?

Pve and multiple classes I prefer khajiits. Running typical endgame gear. Rele, advancing, and Selenes. All seem to be in the general max Stam area

The lower your stat pool the more your damage will suffer, there is no point that this starts to kick in. You traded off something in exchange for stamina and it's a matter of whether the trade off was worth it.

Understood it’s a balancing act. Just curious is there’s a desired point seen by anyone else that the drop in overall stats makes its harder to sustain or damage suffers too much

IIRC my stamplar with no robust jewelry, dubious and 6 med/1 heavy sits just above 30k as a redgaurd. I'd expect you're sitting at roughly 28k as a Khajiit. If you're much lower you may be missing a stam enchant or undaunted passives.

I like sitting above 30k stamina, 3x bloodthirsty will always be a dps increase in a parse. The question is more about if you find the trade off in having less stamina and your damage increased in only the last 25% worth it?

Robust just falls behind infused too. (by a small amount, we do get +8% weapon dmg next patch via +5% from minor brutality and +3% from medium armor)

I actually use 1x infused 2x bloodthirsty on stam sorc, even with +8% max stam, infused comes out on top because of how much weapon damage I can stack and all the multipliers in the game.

I would either do 2x infused 1x bloodthirsty or 1x infused 2x bloodthirsty.
