The imperial and dark elf racials are superior with the new soft caps. Please adjust racials a bit

monkeymystic

There are new soft caps coming, and these new caps will make it much harder to reach the softcap unless you stack one single stat. This is a great change, but they also need to take a look at racials.

Imperial racials give 12% more health and 10% more stamina, 22% racial stat bonus total that *scales*, this is massive with the new soft caps and gives them a huge benefit towards reaching stat softcaps since the 2 of the 3 racials scales with stats, unlike many other racials.

Dark elf racials give 9% magicka and 6% stamina, a total of 15% in stat bonuses that scales.

The rest of the races have a flat 10% max total stat bonus, combined with other racials that does NOT scale like stat %.
Except Nords who got buffed and recieved the best single racial in the game with a flat 6% damage reduction.
(why didn't bretons get changed in a similar way to nords with spell resist that is screwed by softcap?).

ZOS, you gotta take a look at the racials and balance them please.

Discounting regeneration rate %'s, the wood elf only has a 3% bonus to stamina and khajit has 0% bonus to stats.

Disgruntleds already calling for nerfs?

If you're think they'll nerf the Imperials, you've got another thing coming.

No business manager in their right mind nerfs a class they've put behind a pay-wall. No one would buy ESO Nerfed Edtion.

The entire racial system needs to be adjusted.

1. No racial stats should be affected by softcaps, lest they become marginalized and irrelevant at higher levels.
2. Look to previous Elder Scrolls games titles and try to make it at least similar.
3. Racial Powers should be possible.. Khajiit night eye.. where is it???
4. Racial Weaknesses... Give races appropriate boosts and balance it with appropriate weaknesses as is consistent with previous games and the lore...

They should relook at the racial passives though and nerf or buff as needed.
