Classes for stamina NB

iC0UNT_6SH0Tz

So im pretty new to eso but I used to play oblivion. I've noticed the new changes to some racial passives and would like some input on classes. I would like to know who you would recommend for both PVE and PVP based on the 2 classes im torn between.

Orc: HP recovery, 6% HP and stam, sprint speed and weapon damage
Redguard: all stamina everything

I really want to go orc (for both pve and pvp) but I don't know if the 6% added stam and 4% weapon damage would trump Redguards 10% stamina on top of the 10% stam bonus?
I am going to run 5 med 2 heavy (chest and legs). The added mobility of the orc intrigues me and it's makes pve go by ALOT faster. However, if Redguard will benefit me longer in veteran ranks I would rather start off with that race.

Lemme know what you think?

Orc for weapon damage. PvE you get siphoning strikes aka unlimited mana/stam. PvP more burst damage.

Mines a red guard since I knew about the Stam regen skill but didn't know about the siphoning strikes. If I could change I'd make it an orc.

I plan on using 2H/Bow for early lvls and moving to DW/Bow for veteran. Going back to 2H/Bow late game for PVP.

nb's get 15% stam regen just from a passive so their sustain isn't too bad, though sustain is really important on a stam nb.

Personally i'd go redguard but thats just because i like having a lot of sustain and am a primary pvp player.

Ehhh im not a fan of khajit at all. The crit passive is nice but khajit styled armor is ugly and I would rather have raw damage than crit since alot of people still wear impenetrable.

Just don't do what I did for my first toon and go Bosmer assuming they would be l33t on the bow! XD

I went Bosmer. Love the sustain. Though I cycle a Stam build and Magicka build occasionally. I'm excited to see bows getting a buff in 2.3.

Lyrebon

Stam Bosmer here too. The draw to Bosmers is their insane stamina recovery, couple that with Siphoning Strikes and you'll hardly ever run out of stamina. Khajiit is definitely the best race for NB damagers, though Redguards are also a good choice, as are Imperials if you have them (they trade off stam regen for more health, though).

You don't HAVE to wear khajiit style armor (although personally i think it looks great)

Just go orc.. Not sure if it is the BEST race possible but it is certainly a good race for stamina builds.
