So, with the Necromancer coming out, my Character concept is a Heavy Armor, two handed Warrior type whit all the summoning abilities, who is tough but can also deal some dmg.

Now I am wondering, since I only played Caster (100% Magica) or DPS (100% Stamina) before, whats a good ratio to switch my points bewteen Health and Stamina, when I aim for a bruiser type build?

    Warden has abilities that scale their effectiveness off of max health, making it appealing to put attribute points into health.

    As a tank it's hard to deal decent damage. You can run a five piece Thunderbug set or Leeching and spam Cleave plus an AOE but that's about it I think.

    PVP? PVE? Both? Casual? Tryhard? Casual tryhard? You can go heavy Hundings or use the other heavy armor weapon damage stat proc sets. There are more involved ways to wear 5 Medium 2 Heavy with damage + tank sets that can also help you achieve your desired purpose. Start here: https://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Sets

    But, to answer your question, to damage deal with tankiness just spec into your main offensive attribute.

    You need to be more specific. For PvP stamDK is probably what you're looking for but other classes can be played in the same bruiser style builds.

    I have a PvE DK Tank - I put half points into health and the other half I split between stamina and magika. With slightly more into magika.

    This is enough health to let me tank vet DLC content, when combined with my preferred tanking armor sets.
    This point spread also allows me enough resources to join other content as well, with just a quick armor set swap.

    I.E. I can be a bit more tanky/less glass cannon in Cyrodil or solo content or vMA or such...

    Basically the magika and stamina are for resource management and my DPS comes from CP points with magika type proc sets like Thunderbug and others. So many to choose from...

    Magika and stamina I use for utility skills. And I'm back bar ice staff or lightening staff.

    Good luck!

    Generally, I recommend putting all points in your damage stat and adjusting stat ratios for different setups via enchants.

    That makes it easy to hit 30/35k HP if you need to get a tank setup, and still be lean-and-mean at 19k HP if you throw on DD gear.

    While this approach does work for a lot of content and gives high flexibility between roles, if you want to tank in content that needs a fair bit of health, your tank gear options become quite limited.
    As far as the OP is concerned, they will not get consistent recommendations until they get more specific about where they are trying to be a brawler.
