When is ZOS gonna change racial passives?

RazielSR · July 2015

Im sick of my nord passives. Nord needs stam regeneration too. I mean maybe is the worst race regarding passives.

Think it said somewhere in the imperial DLC patch notes that racials would be changed/tweeked/updated. So they'll probobly do something soon (august 31 if i remember correctly, only read through it all pretty fast).

Edit: august 31 for pc players, mid september for console players

Have they stated what the changes will be to racials?

They mentioned some changes, for example Nords get more health and Orcs get a damage bonus.
In last ESO live 21 they mentioned some specific changes, not sure if they mentioned actual numbers.

Thanks for the info. Nord lacks of good passives. It is the worst race maybe. I like being a nord cause Ive always been one in TES games, but the passives are just plain stupid.

Anyway coming from Zos I dont expect big improvements.

more health? I mean O_o...Nords are plenty of self heal skills and what they would need is more stam reg for example...Zos always adding where no needed and lacking even more in each update where needed.

Yeah nords could use stam regen or a dmg bonus, not MORE health.

We nords got tons of health as it is. Just remove the bonus to learning 2H skills and instead give a bonus to stam or dmg.

Each race gets an XP bonus to a certain weapon or armor line. That ain't going away. Nords are supposed to be the hardy warriors of Tamriel. More health does make sense for them.

Want to talk about a passive change that won't help at all, look at the Argonian change, where it's been mentioned that their "gain X health/magika/stamina after drinking a potion" skill is going to get improved.

WE Nords already HAVE bonus health and cold resistance! we do not need more health.

What we need is more stam or dmg as compared to other races we are fubar in the dps section. There is absolutely no reason to dps as a Nord as other race/class combinations will always do more dmg to such a degree that we are forced to be tanks cause that is all we're good at.

How the hell is it fun to play a Nord when all you can do is tank?

I'm almost positive, that they said they were gonna make minor tweaks to a few races (Nord, Orc, Argonian, Khajiit) before the bigger racial changes. Kind of a quick patch thing. On those minor tweaks one of them was to do with Nord health. I am sure that when IC DLC drops, the changes will be a lot better.

Since with health regen and reduced incoming damage passives are already there, would make more sense to put a passive reducing block cost by 1/2/3% or 2/4/6% to help solidify us as one of the best tank races in the game.

Stamina regen will be pointless with the new patch since you can't regen while blocking, so giving us block reduction will help compensate for the extra 10% stamina that imperials get.
