There is some truth to that. Since Defense and Magick Defense can be obtained from equipment and health and stamina cannot (exclusing those rare few armors that grant health or stamina). In general though offense is most important in this game. If you can kill your oponent fast enough he'll have less time to hit you with his attacks. Ergo you take less damage. Now if you have a low offense and spend all of it on being able to soak up damage then that is what you'll be doing, but you'll find that soaking up damage is not really what you want since the more powerful enemies in BBI will hit like a truck.

I usually aim to get around 4K HP and more or less the same amount of STA, but due to liquid vim and the like it's much less useful in my opinion. For offense I aim to get around 1100 total Attack and Magick combined and that gets the job done.
