Orc/ kajit/ redguard/ imperial racials scale with bow?

WitchKing_of_Nirn

Thinkin about rolling a straight hunter toon, but I need to know which racials scale with the bow. I've looked around and there's a lot of mixed information from beta, but can't find anything concrete.

Orc- swift warrior "Increases your damage with melee weapon attacks by 4%"

Kitties- carnage "Increases Weapon Critical by 8%"

Redguard- adrenaline rush "Restores 3[x] Stamina to player when damaging an enemy with a melee attack
This can happen no more than once every 5 seconds"

Imperial- red diamond "Melee attacks have a 10% chance to restore 3[x] Health"

I'm most seriously considering orc and kitty, thoughts?

Bosmer.

10% more damage from stealth
6% max stamina
21% stamina regen

You want this race because you can then use Food instead of drink's to increase damage. Also if you want to be a straight bow "hunter".... you will need the increased damage from stealth for stronger opener's.

To top it all off, this race specializes with Bow's so you will level faster using your desired weapon.

Kitties- carnage "Increases Weapon Critical by 8%"

This is for melee attack's only. FYI . Look's like this is not the case anymore.

So Khajiit would be a great choice for a hunter build.

from when is only for melee? if it will be only from melee it will be in this passive description ;d



btw + khajiit also have bonus damage from stealth like bosmer

I don't really like bosmer either. Only 6 pct max stam. I think red guard would be an equal-ish choice as far as resource management is concerned. I'd run food anyways. I don't really ever run drinks because RM is generally really easy lol.
And as far as the stealth is concerned, I havn't decided on my class yet but it seems most effective with a NB, and I'm leaning towards sorc for the extra bar slots, and crit surge.

Source? I found posts to the contrary, and none were recent.
I quoted the tooltip from the wiki. The in game tooltip does not specify "weapon critical".

Before the TG changes non physical damage was not scaling off weapon critical chance. So bow skills that were posion or fire scaled off of spell crit. After TG the only skill in the bow line that does not scale off weapon crit is Scorched Earth because it's fire damage.

Note that in Dark Brotherhood Stamina is suppose to get reworked and it's likely that Scorched Earth will be reworked to scale with weapon critical chance then.

I do not have any source's currently. I just recently did some research and i cant find any concrete detail's proving if it is melee only or not.

Carnage may work for bow's. That would be great to know. Their is no up to date discussion's on the passive as of late.

The passive description does just state just weapon critical which does lean me in the direction it does work for everything except magic damage related ability's. For example Carnage will not effect Concealed Weapon.

Sorry for any confusing. Carnage used to be only melee, it's been a long time since ive seen any improvements to the Race's passive's.

Oupah.

Bosmer max stam increased by 3% not 6%

For Hunter NB : Bosmer
For Hunter Sorcerer : Khajiit
For Hunter Dragon Knight : Imperial
For Hunter Templar : Redguard

Orc is really good with Stam sorc/dk/templar but not with a bow
