Stamina/Magicka tooltips

They say that spending points in stamina and magicka increases weapon and spell damage but these stats don't increase when you put a point in stamina or magicka.
Does it really work but only the character screen is bugged or is the tooltip wrong?
If it does work does it just affect weapon swings or weapon skills? Would stamina boost staff use?
Been wondering about this for a long time. Guess I should have asked earlier.

Phantorang✭✭✭✭I got a really good website for you, esohead.com/skills/46348-crushing-shock, here you can check out stuff and how much stamina and magicka actually adds to the damage.
Stamina adds ALOT more damage than Magicka does, so higher stamina gives alot more back per point invested in damage.
Heavy and light staff attack is sta based, you can read everything_you_need_to_know_about_staff/ hereFimbulwinter Recruiting true Vikings | Campaigns score | EU PC1 -

Tobiz✭✭✭A single point is worth 10 stamina i believe and may not add enough to tip the scale to the next integer. Hence you have a fractional increase that may or may not affect the actual damage you do.Attention Zenimax: Stamina builds don't hold up to magicka builds, and this is causing most of your class imbalance. It makes melee weapons and bows weaker than staves and class abilities. It makes medium and heavy armor less desirable than light armor. Fix this imbalance, and you'll address most of your balance issues.1 -
Thunderchief✭✭✭So I guess if I saved up 2 attribute points it would show the difference before committing? I guess I could try that next 2 times I level.0

No need to save them, the point you spend will count towards an increase in damage, it may just not be enough to add 1 to damage.
Try with armour instead, they are easier to take off. Find a few with as much stamina or magicka you can find that are your level, check your character sheet and write it down, equip the armor, check the sheet again. Your stats should show a difference. Jump to conclusions.
This is called theorycrafting.Attention Zenimax: Stamina builds don't hold up to magicka builds, and this is causing most of your class imbalance.

Absolutely not called theorycrafting. Theorycrafting is just ideas without any actual testing just ideal facts.0 -

http://www.wowwiki.com/TheorycraftTheorycraft is the attempt to mathematically analyze game mechanics in order to gain a better understanding of the inner workings of the game. The term originated in the Starcraft community as composite colloquialism between the name Starcraft and Game Theory.[citation needed] For clarification, Game Theory is the analysis of circumstantial and general factors in order to understand the decision making process of individualized and group players for the purposes of creating generally more favorable predictions, behaviors, and overall outcomes.
Maybe not the best of sources but its the first hit on google.
Id say its theorycrafting unless you have access to the actual formula from the code:
Actual damage of skill = (Total stamina/20 + weapon damage/1,9) * weapon skill coefficient * weapon skill rank coefficient.
If you cant see the actual fomula from the code then your working on theories on how that formula works.
As such, reaching this formula would be theorycrafting and one step would be to find that increasing stamina also increases your damage of a weapon skill.
I honestly dont care much if it is theorycrafting or not, but I interpret it as such.
