"Resourceful" is useless

Navaac223 · August 22

Resourceful gives you 3125 of every ressource when you drink a potion. This is obviously a pve tank or pvp focused passive but, in those roles it is basically useless :

Since subclassing, everyone has brutality/sorcery and savagery/peophecy so pvpers use tri stat pots. The thing is, when you drink a tri stat, you already get almost all of your ressources back.

Maybe it can get replaced by something more in line with argonians, while being more useful for gameplay

Here's my attempt : when you activate an ability that leaves an effect on the ground, tap into the Hist's roots to restore 500 of every ressource, up to once every 10 seconds

Heavy disagree. You gotta commune with the Hist bro really listen to what they're trying to tell you. Drop that lukiul nonsense and get back to your roots.

I think it's one of the stronger racial passives, but just flies under the radar since it isn't plug and play like the more popular races. That passive has been the cornerstone of some very strong PvP builds I've made and lead to a unique playstyle I can adapt to fit pretty much any Argonian character. If you build into that racial it's very strong and allows you to run sets you don't see as often or ever.

I do sympathize with wanting stronger identity. With subclassing class identity has been a wash so leaning into the racial identity of a character has been a decent attempt to capture some of that lost charm. I like to think of it as similar to the Blackwood company in Oblivion without the cruelty. Argonian's natural biology lets them handle more substances and mix bit of hist sap into each potion they drink for a little extra power without the drawback other races would face.

Your suggestion is also sizable nerf from what we have now, about a 28% loss in effectiveness not counting the additional resources spent casting a ground ability. That's cast a skill to get an extra 100 resource recovery while the current Resourceful gives you an extra 139 resource recovery or 298 resource recovery if you build into it for drinking a potion.

This passive definitely did NOT need the random nerf that it received a few years ago.

Argonians are already Z-Tier at basically everything and it amounted to kicking them when they're down.

It's nice for PvP, and it's a great emergency button for tanks (particularly newer/more casual tanks). I sort of wish argonians had something better for dps, healers, and general use.

It's held back by the fact that it doesn't scale with anything (such as recovery bonuses). There are the potion enchantments, but that's not quite worth investing in for general uses.
