I dumped all my points in health and filled stam/magicka with gear like nerevarine said.

Pretty easy to hit overcharge with the right gear so it would have been a waste of points.

In the end maxing Health or one of the other skills doesn't have a huge effect.
From what I have seen you get 50% health points for each stat point of health you also get ~50% more health points on armor enchants compared to stamina and magicka enchant. It comes down to how you want or need to balance your stat point and enchant slots budget at the moment. I always want my magicka and magicka regen caped so I put a portion of my points into it.

Min maxing may be also forced by choosing to use dropped sets. There isn't much need to put any points on stamina or magicka when you have 5 pieces with that stat forced upon you.

Edit.
So armor enchants at rank +6 give 70 to m/s and 105 to health.

So the relative value of a point remains the same when you look at stat points and enchants. So most of the time it just doesn't matter.

That's why I put all my points in Magika on my sorc and templar, then I have my primary stat covered and don't have to worry about wearing gear to make up the difference in my primary stat. If I happen to get a nice piece of Magika gear, I throw it on and welcome the overcharge as bonus points.

I don't mind that overcharge either since 1 point in magick for my build is probably more valuable than 5 in stamina.

For those that are really concerned by losing stats in the cap the best solution is probably to adjust the stat points accordingly since they give you much finer control close to the cap compared using an enchant.

So the message is that taking all my points out of health and dropping them into stamina is not going to increase my weapons damage in a significant way?

Or at least nothing I can't match by doing full on armour enchanting in stamina?

You can reach your stamina cap any way you want. Stat points , enchants , potions. The decision is up to you. How you balance your resources around your build is more important.

Lots of useful info but no-one seems to have numbers on what an extra attribute point spent in stamina might or might not gain in weapon damage or stamina count.

1 point in stamina/magicka gives 10 points stamina/magicka.
1 point in health gives 15 points of health.
As for weapon damage I don't even know if stamina has an effect. Stamina food does nothing to it. The effect on skill damage probably depends on the skill.
