Race for archer (not bosmer)

I realized that bosmer is only good for the first shot... Because sneak attack increase... But with only 3% max sta, other races are better for dungeons and diverse situations. I mean stamina archer.

What would be the best race for a solo and dungeon archer?

Maybe redguard with 12% max sta? (what would be the damage impact in endgame with this additional 12%? Is it a good amount of dmg increase?)
Maybe nord for survival?
Maybe dunmer to bump a little bit of magicka for a few spells?
What else?

    You're forgetting about the +21% stamina regeneration bosmer get =P

    If you dont want to go with bosmer, however, I'd probably say either redguard or khajiit are your next best options.
    PS4 / NA
    M'asad - Khajiit Nightblade - Healer
    Pakhet - Khajiit Dragonknight - Tank
    Raksha - Khajiit Sorcerer - Stamina DPS
    Bastet - Khajiit Templar - Healer
    Leonin - Khajiit Warden - Tank

    Imperial, Redguard and Khajit are all good choices for any stamina build. Nords will be hardier next patch. Orcs are going to be pretty solid for melee DPS, too.

    As for Bosmer, their stamina regeneration allows you to forgo some stamina recovery bonuses on your gear, exchanging them for weapon damage. I'm not sure which race really parses higher in extended DPS tests, but I wouldn't make any assumptions about it.
