    Nothing has really changed with Argonian Racials.
    You could probably make a Magic NB Sap Tank with an Argonian, but that's probably the only effective role as far as Magblade an Argonian would be good at.

    That sounds interesting potion slinging 5h/1m/1l sap tank would be pretty good with these passives.. Was comparing mag dps.. high elf 4%elemental mostly...

    Argonians are well rounded for just about any build. No, they're no the best class for any role, but they're versatile.

    Would be nice if poison triggered the potion skill passive. :smile: I mean it's potion, kinda. .. and while I'm at it, it would be very nice if drinking a potion would give some bonus to attack. This would make argonians popular.

    there is only 2 race in tamriel high elf for magicka redguard for stamina the rest is crap %10 max magicka/stamina + regens best for everything obviously

    if you dont care maxing out your sustain and damage/heal you can choose any other race

    Not strictly true. For example, dark elves are the best race for magDKs.

    regen isnt best, or all the best players would be altmer or redguard. these racial passives dont make a difference when you are end level with max cp

    They do make a diffrence for example i can save %10 magicka regen worth cp point and invest them somewhere else or just i can invest more weapon/spell damage enchants or item bonus instead of regen. I can convert that extra regen into something else and i can have sustain and max damage/heal output compared to other classes

    the only reason i would pick argonian for sap NB is the self heals passive(which people confuse for outgoing heals and roll templar) and to RP as a follower of sithis who is a shadowscale. im sure the OP isnt the first to roll a argonian sap nb but +1 for rolling argonian

    Not strictly true. For example, dark elves are the best race for magDKs.

    no such thing as a "best race" ... just find a race that matches ya play style and enjoy it i love rolling on my magblade nord against the the players that believe racial can make or break ya game ... and then seeing there arguement fail when they get out dps'd ....

    admittedly would i do more damage if i choose a different race .... most likely but the amount of times that damage reduction passive as saved my ass ... from death as been worth the little loss of dps ... after all a dead dps = 0 dps

    Player real life skills not important here. On paper and as mathematically max stat+max regen is best, you can save your ass with extra magicka/stamina +regen too, by using extra defensive skills or dodge roll or break free or spamming more damage shield or more heal...

    none of this matters once you are a few hundred points into cp, also other passives do play a role such as imperial health tap, argonian self heal bonus which are sustain skills besides the elementary idea of picking a race that has extra regen of some sort

    Psst. You know those CPs you're investing in other things? Other races can save their CPs in things their race grants them to invest in things like Magicka regeneration. You know, because it's the exact same thing, only in reverse.

    Also, they're not stuck playing a hideous-looking Altmer.

    thats my point u save in some areas i save in others ... racial while it matters to the min maxed 1% ers of the game to me i always choose my racial based on the class or my own weaknesses in game for example i have bad latency and suffer from colour blindness so standing in stupid is pretty much a daily thing for me so i choose to go for damage mitigation ... over out right dame and yes i wont pull insane numbers but i also rarely die stupid
