Noob question about attributes

CubanRay · January 2017

Hey guys,yea I noticed that every time I level up my heath,magic and stamina decreases,I'm trying to keep my gear up to date but is not easy.Is there some sort of diminishing or something?
Currently magplar level 40

That's the effect of the Battle Buff gradually wearing off as you approach being CP160 legitimately.

Losing stats isn't great but ultimately you can get the stats you want higher than what the Battle Buff provides and you can focus them in the area(s) you need rather than being spread out quite so much.

If you want to stay effective as you level, the best advise I can give is to specialize. Want to be a melee dps? All points in Stamina. Want to be a healer? All points in Magicka. And so on.

Basically this.

At low levels the scaling over buffs you so you can compete. Every level you gain the buff diminishes some to keep you at the same relative power level.

It's not the best system in terms of the feeling of progression, but overall it's a great mechanic for this particular game.

Just make sure you are keeping your weapons up to date with armor being a second but still important priority and you'll do fine. Real progression in ESO starts at CP160

You could put some health enchants on a couple pieces of gear, or put some points into health while leveling, and respec it for a modest gold fee later.

by and large, currently dumping all your points into your resource pool (magick or stamina) works the best, but you are at that point in your ESO game where experimenting wont hurt you much, and you can always change any attribute or skill points later if you have the gold to pay for the respec.

Yea this is exactly what I'm going to do,drop some health on my chest until I get better gear and CPs
Have 18.1k right now but I'm about to level up and I bet my neck that my health is going under 18k and I don't want that,sitting with 34k magic so I guess I can drop some.

Also get some max health max magic food, that helps quite a bit
