As the title says - any and all opinions sought. A bit of detail as to why the race is good would be appreciated.

Looking at the racial skills Breton and Altmer are obvious but why Dunmer...?
Unless I'm missing something they only get close to Breton / Altmer max magicka and nothing else benefits them as NB.0 -

As Dunmer you get 9% max magicka, 3% max stamina, 7% increased fire dmg and some fire resist.
For pve dps Dunmer is actually the best race for magicka NBs.
For pvp I would go with Altmer (for the magicka regen) or Breton (for the spell resist).PC - EU (AD)Septimus Mezar - Altmer Sorcerer
Septimus Rulanir - Orsimer Templar
Septimus Desmoru - Khajiit Necromancer
Septimus Iroh - Dunmer Dragon Knight
Septimus Thragar - Dunmer Nightblade
Septimus Jah'zar - Khajiit Nightblade
Septimus Nerox - Redguard Warden
Septimus Ozurk - Orsimer Sorcerer1 -
Elephant42✭✭✭✭Thanks all - food for thought.
I'm not into min-maxing but do like to optimise where possible/reasonable.

Huh... I thought it's 6+3 / 6 % max magicka / stamina.
What fire skills besides meteor are actually worth using as NB?0 -

Aren't you gonna use an inferno staff? Also elemental wall whenever you get an inferno staff from vMA?0 -

I would expect to use dual swords on the primary bar and a destro/resto staff on the off bar depending on the situation and/or role.
Is this not a good idea?0 -

I do but for the most part siphoning seems to do a better job which is why I'm asking.Elephant42 wrote: »Septimus_Magna wrote: »Dracan_Fontom wrote: »If you want to min max, Breton, Dunmer, or Altmer. If not play whatever you want.
