Warrior Health 100%

If I play as a warrior. Do you think it's a good idea to pour all my stats to health?



Because I want to play as a super tank warrior.

Sure, if you want to play as a tank. But this doesn't make too much sense for Skyrim as tanks are designed to take considerably more damage than they deal. If you do want to also deal damage, then I'd say 2:1 Health:Stamina, power attacks take a fair chunk of stamina.



I'd recommend sword and board, as blocking with 2h weapons is less effective.


You can easily max out armour rating using perks & smithing.


Be sure to get the Lord Stone as soon as you can.


Magick Resistance enchantments will make you indestructible... almost.

Put it all into health until your health pool is around 300-350. Then build Stamina to around 150-200 then after that go back to topping up health all the time.


Why?

Initially with low armour only health will stop a quick death in melee or from an archer. But with a good safety buffer of health built up you can afford to get some stamina going. Stamina regens fast anyway, but a nice pool of 150-200 lets you pull off three power attacks.....and if you have to outrun something fast and persistent (bear, sabbycat, vampire spriggan) then you have the stamina reserve to do it :)


No rules are hard and fast, but thats how we play it and the Contessa is always on Legendary as a scout warrior (that means a ranger type whos not afraid to melee with the big boys).

If you plan to play strictly as a warrior, investing in magicka won't do you any good. This leaves health and stamina.



Leaving stamina at 100 may not be the best thing to do either, since you will eventually have to sprint. This, unless you plan to be in Ethereal form while at it (the last time I looked, the stamina cost of sprinting under the influence of this shout, was zero).



Either way and assuming you plan to hit the old level 81 cap, my personal preference would be for 600 health & 400 stamina. But that's just me.

for a super warrior use this equation 0:2:1



0pts to magic and then a 2 to 1 ............2 health & 1 stamina and so on



PS ..........you will need stamina big time


PS ..........if you need magic you can always use a ring or amulet

Indeed. If you plan on being a 2hander warrior, the I suggest investing in stamina as well. I'm currently playing one and stamina is a nice to have resource right now.
