Nobody answered this. Hmm.

Alcasthq.com has stat screen shots. They’re always maxed out trial builds, but offer an idea. My main is a stamblade, and I like to run a lot of the stuff you’re talking about...hard, but not endgame trials. So using alcast as a starting point:

Health: yeah, like 17-18 probably. I don’t have anything invested in health but the food, so that's kinda where it lands on a fully developed character.

Stam: 35-40k is a good range to shoot for.

Regen: I flip around here. My “regular” regen is around 1100, but sometimes that drains too fast...like if I’m doing an undaunted vet or a normal one solo. So sometimes I’ll throw on the serpent Mundas if I’m running low.

Crit: you probably want to shoot for 65-75% here. Crit is sorta easy to manipulate on a stamblade because of the assassins skills passive, and using the bar to get into the zone that works best for you.

Weapon damage: alcast’s builds are always insane, lol. Fully buffed via skills, if you’re hitting the 3000-3500 range you’re probably good.

Champion points make a big difference...if you’re maxed on those, a nightblade gets so tanky they can pretty much invest in raw power and be fine.

I also get why alcast in all medium for trials, but for easier content I tend to mix up armor weights a bit because of the undaunted passives, and the resources really help. Usually just with one piece of heavy.

Thank you for the reply.

Yeah, I've checked out Alcast and Gilliamtherogue's builds and that has helped somewhat. The thing I've struggled with is that they'll have endgame info, sometimes some beginner's info, but not much intermediate or solo information, which is where I am.

For the sake of reference, I'm CP472, and until a couple weeks ago I had never stepped foot into group content. I've soloed a handful of normal dungeons, and just started doing PUGs. I've never done a trial and don't intend to anytime soon, and I know that limits my gear. I've never done Maelstrom Arena either.

I'm on console, so I don't have access to addons that would help me understand my DPS and uptimes. I know my rotation isn't good enough yet, but it's been difficult for me to work on because my sustain sucks. My stamblade is a Breton which is probably the worst race/class combo I could have come up with, but I didn't know better when I created her. I'm planning on a race change to Redguard and investing more in stamina regen. My best parse on a 3 mil dummy is 15K, which I know sucks for a character of my level. I'm in the process of adjusting things to do a better job of self-buffing.

So that's where I am - I want to make changes to boost my sustain, but don't want to over-invest at the expense of other attributes. I feel like I need more that what is called for in builds like Alcasts, because he's assuming that the group is going to help with that. That's not really the case with how I'm playing - either solo or in PUGs.

After playing around with the UESP Build Editor some more, it looks like some of the changes I was thinking of would put me in the neighborhood of some of the numbers that you replied with. I guess I need to make those changes and try them out and see how they work for me and my playstyle.
