Khajiit Warriors

Tykune

"The Khajiit are fearsome warriors, proficient with bladed weapons, and stand proudly at the forefront of every battle."

Could someone tell me where in ESO they make 'fearsome warriors'? From what I can tell, other races work better for DK and Templar, which leaves Khajiits to just doing well with the Nightblade class. Sure, you could just roll a Khajiit into those classes, but whether they do well with those classes is left to be said.

They may have a good chance as a DK, Ardent Flame, but Dunmer is literally tailored to that tree.

Its just a game, I'm not a min/maxer, and the look of my character is more important to me then a few % more damage from a racial ability.

I do remember reading somewhere that Khajiit rarely use heavy armor, and usually prefer a more mobile fighting style. NB and DK both have a number of abilities that support that, in the form of various buffs or utilities.

Also, most class skills with a melee range use weapon crit, so Khajiit have a slight edge there - only Sorcs don't have a melee range skill (but they have Overload instead).

Or course, if you're looking for a build focused on class skills, any race with a bonus to magicka will usually perform better than a Khajiit (or any other race without a bonus to magicka).

This one enjoyed informally tanking for an over ambitious sorcerer who foolishly attacked a bull netch and got in over his head. Khajiit stole aggro from the poor sorcerer and kept the bull busy with a nice axe this one crafted, very shiny it is. This allowed the hapless sorcerer time to heal and recover himself, and with the help of a few Crystal Shards we soon laid the sad netch -- who never hurt anyone -- to his rest .

This one does not mind that the sorcerer didn't pause to express his gratitude, but would like to stress that the skill is that of the player, not of the race, though this one would be hard pressed to find anything Khajiit does not excel at.

Thank you.

Khajiit have very high health regen too. 30% extra while in combat.

I have a Kahjiit DK who's primarily melee DPS. I'm also not a MinMaxer but it sounded like Kalann_Pander gave an incredibly good answer (Bravo Kalann, you made me feel slightly smarter just by reading that, good news for me, bad news for Smart Water, I'll be drinking Arrowhead tonight).
As to a less literal interpretation I'll attempt to deconstruct the description and then cite at least one example of how this is accurate. I do this for your inquisitive mind Tykune, stay beautiful forever.

"The Khajiit are fearsome warriors" - Totally true statement. In fact just the other day as I was doing a delve when I had to use the restroom... to rest. After resting I returned to find a fly the size of an infant buzzing through my office. Given the epic proportions of the extremely agile insect I did the only reasonable thing I could think of; I grabbed a bat, shut the door and yelled; "I'm not locked in here wif you! You locked up in here wif me!". Obviously I have a lot of delicate equipment in my office, dates Monday-Thursday and their inflation devices, my vintage fruit of the loom collection, my flux capacitor and of course my computer and the ergonomic keyboard which provides the means that I use to enlighten you now. I cannot describe to you the difficulty in swinging around an unwilling winged mammal in an attempt to end the existence of an insect larger than itself but I can assure you, it's not easy. Things got messy; they got confusing. Nearly a half-hour later, sweating and panting I realized that I'd left my noble khajiiti warrior sitting in the middle of a hostile tunnel between spawns. And believe you me, I been there. Despite the loss of Tuesday and Wednesday, the right leg of the flux capacitor (I could never make it work anyway) and one pair of underwear (fortunately just the pair I'd been wearing at the time) and missing the " " and the " " buttons from my ergonomic keyboard, I rushed back to my folding chair and sat back down. There, amidst the cave where I'd left him, my fearsome Khajiit had managed not only to make it to the end of the delve without my knowledge but also the gleaming corpse of the boss lay, slain, before him. Is your character fearsome enough to kill the boss of a delve on his own and navigate the treacherous passages to him/her/it?

"Proficient with bladed weapons"- Again, I happen to know that this is true. There is no greater proof than in his pristine form. Despite what has to be at least a thousand sword fights by now, not only was my fearsome Khajiit able to single-handedly, sometimes... double-handedly, win every fight he got into, he was also so wonderfully proficient with every bladed weapon that not once has he bled his own blood. That anyone has ever seen. I wasn't even able to defeat a bag of apples before receiving my own grievous wound. In fact, I bled my own blood so much that I passed out. Fortunately someone was nearby because I woke up safe and sound in a bathtub of ice and feeling like a brand-new man, I think I even lost some weight!

"And stand proudly at the forefront of every battle" - And once more, I don't mean to brag but I've seen this with my own eye. In fact, every battle I've ever seen he's stood proudly at the forefront. In fact not only has he stood at the forefront, he died there... proudly. Then, proudly rezzed at some dude's tent (oddly enough I have a similar recurring nightmare). After that we've escap- continued questing proudly elsewhere. I'm fairly certian that I've managed to be at the forefront of every battle since I'm familiar with nearly every inch of ground between all of the keeps in Cyrodiil. I can also vouch for the consitient pride; normally there isn't enough time between seeing the first member of the enemy alliance, the 12th member and a blinding flurry of lightning, fire, arrows, staffs and men in dresse- robes for the expression to change from proud to horrified to resigned.

So there you have it Tykune a complete breakdown from someone who plays a Khajiiti warrior who uses blades. In all fairness, I use heavy armor rather than light armor, primarily to protect his money-maker but aside from that, he's all fearsome proficient noble khajiit.
I hope this has helped in your quest for knowledge and I'm proud to have played my part in nurturing and watering your young and nubile mind. Warm sands to you!

I have a Khajiit Templar, he's pretty strong, in fact he was the easiest of my characters to level up, and fun too.

I reject the hypothesis that they are pigeon hole into nightblades.
(I refuse to call it a theory, because it lacks evidence and hasn't been proven (scientific definition), in fact I'm being generous with hypothesis rather than notion)

''and stand proudly at the forefront of every battle''

lol...

Are you familiar with phrase "war propaganda"? No? I thought so.

Just be glad we're not the khajiit of Arena.

This taught me a lot about my own Khajiit.

thank you, sir.
