Stam and Magic Skills

Just wondering how you guys play. I have Magic and Stamina characters but say your on a Magic build and you want to use some stamina skills how do you go about it ?. I know how to level the stam skills but with a low stamina pool how do you use them, for instance my Magic Warden has I think around 13k stamina which I don't think will run stam skills for long so wondered the best way to maybe boost your stamina pool.

    Multi stat enchants & pelinal's set (crafted)

    The main hindrance I find in a hybrid build is that all of your physical scales from weapon damage and all of your magic scales from spell damage, and with this constant drive for PVE metas, we're getting further and further away from ACTUALLY playing however we want. At this point I dump all of my stats into magicka and spell damage, and then take stamina supplemental skills (like snares, for example).

    You mean putting stam enchants on magic gear ?, and I never heard of the set you mention, where is the crafing station for that ?

    There are people more qualified than me to offer advice, but here's the quick and dirty: Where your stats go is how effective the respective skills are, so if you disperse your stats, you'll be ineffective everywhere.

    If you just want more stamina you could either redistribute your gear enchants, or your attributes, it'll achieve the same effect, though the latter is more expensive to modify while leveling. Doing so, will take magicka away and lower your staff & magic damage though.

    One thing worth keeping in mind is that Medium is more stamina damage oriented and light is more magic damaged oriented-- and those bonuses come from the armor passive skill lines. So you could if you wanted to jack up light armor with stamina enchants, but you wouldn't be getting anything out of the medium armor passive line.

    Honestly, there is not a single non-weapon stamina utility skill in the game worth using, as all of them have better magicka alternatives. Only one that I can think of that is worth using is Bone Shield on heavy magblade and heavy magden.

    On Warden though I like the Magic build mainly using staffs but it would be nice to use Dual Wield or Bow now and again, I just wondered the best way to use both without spoiling the Magicka skills to much. I am almost at 50 now and would like to maybe use some stam skills. Is it feasible to split the armour 50/50, 50% light and the rest medium. Plus some ideas on the enchants and best crafted armour would be good. I can craft any armour except Nirnhoned which as you know is hard to come by.

    Your skill power is scaled with max pool.. so no point to use stamina in magicka bilds other then for utility or fun. You may do it before you reach 50 level because you have bonus base parameters, but when you got at least cp100 all that will vanish. There are ways for fun builds but they will never be viable against classical ones.
