Optimal PvE End Game Race for NB

BlackMambaLAL

Hi All,

Been researching this a lot the past few days - got some interesting answers but one answer I got stands out the most. If the below is true it would seem pointless if you're min/max to roll anything but an imperial. I have a Khajiit NB and I love the "panther" look of them instead of rolling an imperial. Is the different small or as large as the one person states below? My main focus end-game will be a stamina (DPS) build.

Since there will be a max limit on how high you can stack your damage and stats, racials will be completely defining in this matter and an Imperial will be able to reach at least 3-5K+ more resources than any race without a resource bonus. Which is equal to an additional 300-500 damage, in other words, an absolute game changer.

Races without at least a 10% increase to a primary resource (stamina/magicka) are at a severe disadvantage for sure. Eventually people will be walking around with 50k stamina/magicka and 10% more of that is just ridiculous when compared to other racial passives. Imperial is indeed one of the best races because of their 12% health to go a long with their 10% stamina, but if you were mainly focused on endgame stamina PVE dps, I think redguard would come out on top. It really depends how future content goes and what the minimum HP threshold will be for group content, but I feel redguard is the slightly better option unless you want to PVP.

and What about Khajiit, where does that race stand in terms of endgame stamina PVE dps compared to Redguard or Imperial? Severely lacking or acceptable?

No one is gonna kick you from the group/raid because of your race. Every race is acceptable in any roll. If you are hovering around 40-50% crit rating, what that 6% weapon crit translates to is around 3% additional DPS. Not the best but it could be worse.

Thanks for the feedback - Looks like I will re-roll an imperial since I'm only level 5.
