How do you usually distribute your Health , Stamina and Magicka?

[Alucard †]

I am curious how people usually distribute these core stats when leveling both early and late game.

I personally used to distribute those according to build i wanted to focus on in a playthrough but stopped doing that after introduction of Dragonborn dlc and its Lengendary/Respec features.

Now i just distribute them in a way that they always end up equally distributed later on. That way i can just as easily for example turn from a dedicated warrior build to a dedicated mage build without needing to compensate my core stats that much via enchanting or needing a new playthrough or insane amount of additional power leveling.

So what's your way of doing this?

The stamina stat also raises carry weight, which you need more of with heavy armor and weapons.

Steed Stone ? (No weight from worn armor + carry weight boost)
Conditioning perk ? (No weight from worn heavy armor)
Companion pack mules ? (Don't need to explain that one ^^ )

Steed stone ties up potentially more useful stones.
Conditioning is endgame so not a realistic alternative.
Followers can only be so useful before they become a hassle to shuffle items with.

Leveling stamina solves the weight problem and lets you power attack and bash to your heart's content.

What?

Conditioning is hardly endgame. Only 70 skill requirement and only 3 prequisites. Armor skills are also one of the fastest to level up when you start early.

And you get hit a lot in combat as a warrior so you can reach 70 easily without even trying too hard and playing the game "intentional way" without needing the Restortaion + Giant / Troll sparring method.

No that's the game, i usually have that after 2 or 3 days of playing, which isn't exactly long. Also, you're the dude that said this:

Depends on the build.
Warriors go after stamina, thieves after health, and mages after magicka.

Warriors... stamina, wtf are you on.

This guy was just talking about how you don't need to minmax in Skyrim then says you need to minmax heavy armor to play a warrior

Putting extra points into stamina gives you the same benefit for a quarter of the effort.

Maybe but can't argue with results.

Because you don't need to?
I gave you several options to counter your "carry weight" problem without needing to bloat your Stamina. (keyword : options)

And explained to you that Conditioning perk isn't "endgame" it's obtainable by doing what warriors do lol

Stamina "bloat" is by far the least intrusive approach.
There's no real downside to it.

It's 70 heavy armor, you can just buy from a trainer within no time. Yeah it costs money, which you can obtain like it's also nothing by just picking up enchanted gear, jewelry and gems.

Other options are hardly any more intrusive.
Again forgetting about the Steed Stone (and Backpacks if AE)

Or you can actually play the game and level stats naturally instead of wasting time cheesing your way through by doing everything to keep paying a trainer.

That's way too convoluted and I don't live in my mom's basement.

How is normally fighting enemies .. "cheesing" ?
Have you even read what i wrote? The part about that Armor skills are very fast to level by just playing normally?

Just do what warrior does .. You'll get to 70 Heavy Armor in no time

From experience, no unless you stand there healing yourself nonstop and letting everything keep hitting you.

I've got a level 25 or 26 warrior going right now that's around 60 heavy armor.
Weight became an issue much sooner.

Seriously, what meds are you on, paying a trainer is literally part of the game.

I'd have to agree here. My level 24 heavy armor, waraxe, shield, and some alteration/restoration character has only ♥♥♥♥♥♥ to 31 heavy armor skill. That's even with a handful of times where I intentionally sat there a let a bandit beat on me because I noticed my armor skill was lagging behind.
