Leveling health?

Mhylton44142 · July 2015

I'm running a DW NB(stamina DPS) and a DW DK (magicka dps) . I mainly focus on PvE and leveling up my 2 characters right now. Should I be putting any points into health or should I be focusing on magic and stamina respectively to have my attacks hit harder?

Most players try to aim for around 18-20k HP with food buff active.

This should give you some buffer HP for heals if things go bad. There are a few players and build which run 16-17k HP but these often run the risk of being one shot by special boss attacks or trash mob power attacks.

Otherwise with the current build of the game focus on your main DPS stat and damage type.

Hope this helps feel free to follow up with any more questions.

As a leveling question, jut enough to survive. A stam NB needs more than a DK and both need more than my magicka NB. My advice, get bi-stat food (health/stamina) and then reset your attributes and start questing. If you feel yourself ding easy. Put 5pts in health. When you are doing ok, go all into stam/magicka depending on build. I personally run really low on health lvling faster something dies the better, but with the NB death comes easy. That will be about killing hard and faster while controlling mobs with stuns.

I'm vr6 and I haven't put a single point into health. This game is pretty easy as long as you know when to block, interrupt, and dodge. I also solo public dungeons quite easily.

None of my characters have any points in Health. Contrasted with pre 1.6 where all my points went into Health....

Anyway, 20K is a good target to be at, but frankly none of my characters have that much health and they don't die unless I do something stupid.

I'm wondering if the tank builds still require all points into Health? I imagine for end-game content that is still the case, but even for Vet dungeons is this still suggested?
