Maintenance for the week of September 23:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – September 23

Softcaps are too low.

I've been wondering... am I the only one that thinks status get overcharged way too easily?
I'm level 23, I have 17 points in Magicka granting me 710 magicka.
Along with my gear I get a total of 901 Magicka (already overcharged).

I am equipped with a full crafted set (nothing special in that) with Magicka Glyphs bought off the NPC.

I don't know about you but for me, it's way too easy to be overcharged.
It somewhat makes me feel discouragement to focus fully on a way.
I have 5 applied into Health, amassing a total of 711 Health points and 0 points into Stamina granting me 561 points.
See the little difference there?
Focused on Magicka 17 pts + gear = 901. Overcharged
Spared on Health 5 pts, no gear = 711.
Nothing applied on Stamine = 561.

Considering Magicka enhances your spells "magic" damage I find the soft caps too low hence disabling my ability to feel "powerful" as a Sorcerer.

Don't get me wrong, I am killing monsters easily enough, I could solo every mini-boss Monster in dungeons or open world up until now.
But if at level 23 I already have this feeling about the soft caps, I am afraid that once I reach level 50 I won't be feared by my massive magicka pool and my obliterating spell casts.
Why didn't you warn me, you old dog? - Duke Nathaniel.
