Well, I look for stats in this order- INT, SPR,mana,STA,AGI,STR,health.
I'm an enchanter, so I can give my armor MP or HP+ effects.
Just because i look in this order doesn't mean that is all i get. If I have alot of INT+ but almost no STR+, i'll try to look into getting more STR (as long as it doesnt damage INT)
I _think_ each point of stamina gives 10 health, and i'm pretty sure INT gives more mana, like 15 or so. But I could be wrong.
So if you have a choice between 5 health and 1 stamina, get the stamina. Just something to keep in mind ^^
And as a last note, the rulebook says our main stats are INT,SPR,STA
