Has anyone read anything regarding the stat soft caps that are in ESO right now? Apparently its best to put all your skill points in health because gear/weapon enchants to stam/magika will hit soft caps to where putting points in those stats won't matter.

Anyone else heard of this or have insight?

I also see some advice to go the other way for levelling (less waiting for resources and not such damage incoming) and then to respect at higher level to health.

Having run several characters through lever level content I am inclined to go for the resources rather than health and look to respect. It's around 2k gold which should not be a problem at high level.

There are some nice, recent details with videos on this Tamriel Foundry thread here which explain Overcharging (soft cap) and stats generally.
