Health and Stamina for a Caster.

Post » Wed May 09, 2012 9:00 am

How important is it for me to increase Health and stamina at level up for a caster character? Hopefully there are feather potions/spells in the game, so stamina isn't really needed for me? Also with health pots and healing spells available a big health pool can't be that neccesary?

Thanks in advance.

Improvise, consider each levelup based on recent performance. If you die too often, maybe pick up some health for a level or two.

Not that I've ever seen. But thankfully being encumbered doesn't stop you like a rock, it just slows you.

Raising health is essential unless you are playing on easy. I overstep my zoning a little and go into higher places I shouldn't but I have been one shot killed on two occasions (one by a Giant and one by a Giant Frost Spider) with 200 health. I really woulnd't expect to make it into mid game with 100 base health on anything other than very easy mode.

Why do you need Stamina as a caster? Am i missing something major lol? I have invested 90% into Magicka and rest Health.

I figure doing 2x magicka, 1x health, 2x magicka, 1x health etc is good then? Or should i do 3x magicka?

And Skyyr, i was only asking about it because Stamina increases your carrying capacity.
