You should have fun with your stam sorc...they’re a blast. You’re asking some advanced questions you don’t need to ask quite yet, at least not until you’re really experienced with the game mechanics. Down the road, your stam sorc will perform very well in pve and pvp.

For now, focus on some basics:

- make sure you selected a stam race, like khajiit, woood elf, Redguard, and not a magic race like altmer. It’s kinda important, and it’s better to verify this now than worry about an expensive race change later.

- learn how your class skill lines level and work them up. As a stam sorc you’ll use less class abilities than any other class, but there are some good ones and you want your skill lines leveled.

- wear a little heavy armor and a lot of medium. You want both lines leveled, as you will likely,wear a blend in many scenarios.

- feel free to level and play with all four physical weapon lines. Dual wield is your go-to for Damage, and you’ll want bow and 2h both worked up. Sword and board is optional.

- learn about gear sets and how they work, and if you like farm some and try them out. You don’t need to get super serious about sets until cp160+, and by the time you know the game that well we can have a whole other discussion about setups. But for now, if you can make or get sets for your low,level toon, they will really help.

- don’t be afraid to experiment. You can’t “ruin” anything on your character. Skill points are cheap and plentiful. Recasts are easily available for a little gold. Unlock and play with any skill that sounds fun. Some will work and some won’t. Feel free to recast and try the alternate morph.

- do a little pvp, even if just supporting your team. Help take some keeps. Your primary burst heal is vigor, which is unlocked once you earn ~85k AP. That’s not that much...just a dozen or so keep captures. Work toward vigor early, because it will really help keep you alive.

- work your Legerdemain over time. Every once in a while go steal stuff and fence your daily max. There’s a passive that reduces sneak cost by 40%...your resources are precious and this is worth the time investment.

I really, really love my stam sorc. I tend to use a dw attack bar and bow back. I buff with surge, then launch my attack w poison inject. I’ll flip bars and proc hurricane and veil of blades for AoE Damage, then go to work with dw skills. I use the slash one that returns health, and shrouded daggers. If I run low on health or magic I have vigor for a heal and exchange to return Stam. He’s a bit tanky, but with decent Dps.

One last tip - give your stam sorc some time to develop. A lot of their best skills are higher up in the ability trees. They do fine early on, but as your class lines hit lvl 30 and weapons 40+, you’re going to start unlocking the skills that make stam sorcs killers.
