Argonians: A Very Versatile Race

WuffyCerulei

Recently I've fallen in love with the Argonian race in ESO, as they're a very durable and versatile race. Stamina or magicka build, any role, any class. The 3% extra max magicka is nice atop the potion rebate, which gives you 12% back to all resources when you pop a potion. The max health bonus is just nice for survivability, and the poison+disease resistance negates a fair amount of those damages (guessing about 20ish%). The last passive that gives 5% healing done AND recieved makes Argonians such a sturdy race for tanks, DPS, and healers. Though Argonians aren't the top race for min/max builds, they are great for survivability and versatility.

The most versatile race is Imperial, followed by Dunmer.

I may be wrong but I think the racial passive is only a bonus to healing received.

Argonians have strong passives.
Minmax wise they r not considered but i like them.

SickDuck

Not to mention they look cool and all the argonian maids are... you know...

I've never played an Argonian, but i'm all for versatility and adaptability. Might have to look at them again.

I now see argonians in a different light. Might push me to finally creating an alt. :P

It was remade. Used to be 9% healing received, they first changed it to 9% healing done, after which people complained that it ruined their tank builds. So then they went for a middle ground of 5% healing received and healing done.

Argonians have had many years of practice to be very versatile being slaves to the Dunmer. It's still not enough though, I say we shackle those dirty lizards some more to bring out their true usefulness- er... i mean potential.

Imperials: tanks or stam dps. Dunmer: almost almost vampires or magicka DKs. Argonians: literally EVERYTHING.

Fun fact: in the 4th era, the Red Mountain erupts due to Dunmer being idiots with a suspended meteor and letting it fall and covering most of northern Morrowind with lava and ash. Argonians then invade and take over most of southern Morrowind : D

If you like that argonians are the best, I bet you haven't heard about the Orcs.

SantieClaws

So versatile yes!

This one she hears they are great in stew and in soup. Even perhaps in a pie!

Wait that's taters isn't it not lizards ...

I wanted to make an argonian, but realized there is always a race that does something better than them i. each role.

As tanks Nords and imperials are way better for extra stamina and the 3rd passive for each.

As healers Altmers and bretons are better for more max magika and resource management more healing done is not really that useful after a certain point.
The 12% u gain from potions is like max 4k magika evey 45 sec so its not really reliable.

As Magika dps altemers and dunmers are way better for obvious reasons.

All stamina races are better in dps than argonians

So the best argonians are at the ability to do both tanking and healing thats it

When will argonian sorcs be the meta?!

Ah no no. We are all chewy sinews and sharp bones. Khajiit are not so tasty yes.

Also this one will shred you into kebab meat if you try to eat her yes.

Stop looking at the ears like that ...!

Cat meat is too gamey, even for a Saxhleel.

Enslaved

Saxhleels do not eat Khajiits. Only bosmers eat other races, since they are forced to be reverse vegans or go to their form of hell.

Too gamey. Dog tastes better.

Khajiit will eat almost anything if really hungry enough as long as it comes with a good sauce, is well seasoned and all of the spines have been removed.

But for the casual midweek meal this one she prefers a nice roasted chicken or goat to an Argonian or a Bosmer yes.

Save the good stuff for a Sunday yes ...

Well, since there are various types of Khajiit, I would say it is pretty much mandatory behavior for Senche-raft to eat anything but other Khajiits. I think that typical Suthay-raht that we have in ESO would't eat Saxhleel ppl.

Who truly knows what might be in the pies at the Rosy Lion?

As long as the pie it does not tell me that it raises the spine of pastry then all it is good.

Khajiits I met in my travels really adore sweet things. Not sure how much sugar is in Saxhleel folk. On the other hand, if you find one with diabetes mellitus...

rhapsodious

Argonians have always been my favorite race lore-wise and aesthetically. I play what I like, or what fits the character best, so minmaxing has never been that big of a deal. I could still clear all the content if I put my mind to it and get 11 other people for trials. Plus the extra health saves my butt sometimes.

Also I can't be the only one really, really tired of "dum lizurds r slaves/boots/purses lul". Such an original insult! And yet people don't seem to comment on the fact that Dunmer and Altmer in particular have their heads shoved so firmly up their own fundaments that they form an ouroboros.
