Attribute spread. Is 0 49 0 still the best at veteren level?

Hilgara

I have been reading a lot about the viability of 0 49 0 attribute spread in veteran content. I seems that this is the best attribute spread because you can soft cap mag and stam with enchants and food etc. Plus the increase per point of health is 20 (or is it now 15?) and the increase for mag and stam is only 10.
The very strict soft cap on mag and stam means you are better off stacking health but is this still valid. I have been reading a few forums and I have noticed the reported stat increases change over time so I assume there have been some patching and its difficult to establish what the stat of attribute caps are at present.

The reason why sinking everything into health was a good idea before the later days of Beta was because although putting points into health gave you more health than putting points into magicka/stamina, health enchants had the same magnitude as magicka/stamina enchants. That is no longer the case.

People still advocate putting all points into health because it's easier to switch your magicka/stamina spread through enchantments and food that way. It isn't inherently better anymore.

So you can still hit the soft caps through enchants and food?

It's still the best idea because you it provides you with solid base health to work with and you can change your gear to balance magicka or stam based on your needs as those can switch between builds but you'll always need health.
