I just reset my stat points, I put half on Stamina but can't decide if I'll put it into Health or Magicka. I have a KB bow/2h. I know Stamina builds aren't popular but for all those who still play this style, How do you distribute your stats? since most of you have more experience in PvP and PvE. Your Feedback will be very much appreciated.

    I dumped everything into health. I get my magicka and stamina up with enchants/food.

    A lot of people go all health and boost stamina/magicka with gear, glyphs, food, and passives. Also, one point boosts health more than it boosts stamina or magicka.

    Doesn't weapon damage affected by stamina or is just minimal effect?

    It's pretty minimal right now. The devs have said that they are going to start working on Stamina builds next though so fingers crossed it will translate much better in future updates!
    I can has typing!

    Stat points in health give twice the health points as stat points in magicka and stamina give to their stats.

    But on enchants health only give x1.5.

    So to maximise your stat total you should put all into health.

    But that is not all in the equation because it is your total in stamina or magicka that determine your base damage, so if you want to maximize dps you need to both add stat and enchant to stamina and magicka.

    It all depends on how you plan to play your char. Can you actively avoid damage instead of resisting then it is not a good idea to out much into health since the other stats allow you to kill enemies faster.

    In my case I use both magicka and stamina to avoid damage through shadow cloak, block and dodge which allow me to maximise my return damage. I also have a balanced spec with equal magicka and stamina so I can switch between them so one can regen while the other is used.

    At VR7 I pulled 600 to 1300 dps on VR7 standard mobs with my DW/Assassin/shadow spec.

    Thanks I think I'll try this since half of my stats is on stamina, I kinda feel all health is just too Cheesy. In other MMORPG Rouge classes are threat to Tank classes but in this game it kinda weird

    VR1 with 7 pieces of armor towards magicka, and 3 lower level pieces of jewellery towards stamina, which might also go magicka as soon as I get my hands on some VR1 pieces.

    I currently have 10 in each of stam and magic and hit the cap with food and a couple of enchants and only a 100 points of health cap with the PVP bonus. Don't put it all in one or the other as you will be able to drive with enchant and food.
    Is there a calculator around

    If I put my stats on magicka and Stamina then use glyphs on my armor for health. Is that good for ambush type avatars?

    Ambushers if you are NB need high magicka since the damage of sneak attacks are based on magicka not stamina, yet they still use physical crit rating so med armor is also good.

    My sneak attack starter is magicka, my killer blade finisher is magicka, in between rapid strikes from DW that use stamina.

    The advantage of a good stamina is that it very much help with bows that you most often need to rely on in PvP battles.

    Generally the second you begin to sustain any damage as a NB you are doing it wrong. Avoid damage and do damage so high health while nice is not essential.
