Hybrid to stamina - big difference if focused on one side?

I'm a Nord templar with attributes magicka 18, heath 28, stamina 18.
good for most quests, but too weak for veteran quests.
What I've read, its recommended to put all points into only one attribute.
  1. Would you agree, that for Nord templar its best to focus on stamina?
  2. if focusing on stamina, I could no longer use many class-specific skills like most of the Aedric Spear. Still worth it?
  3. with no points in health, is it still possible to run through a dungeon without dying and without having to kill every mob?
  4. does it really make it possible to do veteran dungeons solo, when all point are in either magicka or stamina, instead of being split equaly?

    What weapons are you using and what roll do you want to perform?

    If you use OH and Shield and play as a tank, you'll be able to split attributes up a bit more. If you're a DPS or Healer, then yeah you'll want to put most points (maybe all depending on your sets and food/drink) into one attribute.

    1. I do not think it is necessary for you to be a Stamplar as a Nord. There are good reasons for making a Nord a healer although once they gave the healing bonuses to the Argonian race it took away some of this benefit. The reason I say this is that the Nord's resistances, high health, and base health regeneration are actually quite nice for survivability while simultaneously as a healer it is not actually required that you make your numbers scream. Its more important for your healer to send out good heals over a long period of time without dying. That being said a Nord in my view is the close second best Tank race and it is nice as a Stamina race (you'll probably be in more need of sets like Bone Pirate or Shacklebreaker than a Redguard though). The one area where I think Nord will be least valuable is if you want to play them as a Magic DPS.

    2. You can use plenty of Aedric Spear skills. I'd recommend in most cases Dawnbreaker is a better ultimate than the Aedric ultimate however. Binding Javelin and Jabs are both bread and butter skills for a Stamina Templar though. Blazing Shield can likewise be useful when used in moderation if you know a heavy hit is coming.
    3. Yes it is possible. I recommend you check out foods like Dubious Camoran THrone which is obtainable right now in the event. As a Nord and a Templar you'll seriously want this stuff.
    4. Its quite possible to do a dungeon solo with poorly applied attributes if you are playing well and have decent sets on. That being said you probably want to specialize unless you're going tank as @GrumpyDuckling has said.

    Sounds like you will want to focus it into your stamina stat then. Also make sure that you are taking all the morphs that use stamina instead of Magika. you may want to google a few guides on a 2h stamina Templar build.

    your Stamina level impacts how big your pool is (and how long it lasts), as well as increasing your damage.

    Familiar with the difference between night and day? Yeah, it would be kind of like that. You’ll kill things so much faster.

    But, and here’s the caveat, if you’re not planning on doing anything “endgame” (vet dungeons and up) or “competitive”, then stick with what you enjoy.

    Then you're probably looking to do something along the lines of the following:

    - 30k+ total Stamina
    - about 20k total health (likely through food/drink)
    - Think about using sets like Automaton, Hunding's Rage, and Spriggan's

    Soloing veteran dungeons is very difficult on a Stamina Templar. Also take note that a good deal of veteran dungeons (especially new ones) aren't soloable - and even if they are, it's likely not worth the time investment.

    Definitely bow. Endless Hail and Poison Injection are awesome. Acid Spray is decent.

    I agree. Go bow and 2 Hander. Automatons is good but check out Bone Pirate as well. Jabs is going to be bread and butter for you as well as Endless Hail, Injection, Razor Caltrops, Spray is fine as well depending what you're going for.

    This is correct.

    Would you agree, that for Nord templar its best to focus on stamina?

    Yes, since you have passives that increase max stamina.

    if focusing on stamina, I could no longer use many class-specific skills like most of the Aedric Spear. Still worth it?

    Stamina classes primarily use weapon skills, not class skills (with a few exceptions).

    With no points in health, is it still possible to run through a dungeon without dying and without having to kill every mob?

    Yes, absolutely. Health is a useless stat unless you are a tank. All you need is ~17k health (with food) if your role is damage dealer. You can reach this by putting all of your points into stamina. The Undaunted Mettle passive from the Undaunted line and the Juggernaut passive from the Heavy Armour line also increase your health.

    Does it really make it possible to do veteran dungeons solo, when all point are in either magicka or stamina, instead of being split equally?

    Yes, that is the most efficient way to complete veteran content. However, I don't know why you'd want to run veteran dungeons solo. They are designed for groups of 4. Soloing them is one of the most difficult tasks in the game, and only the most experienced players can do it (there is no special reward for doing them solo).
