Best Overall (PVE and PVP) Stamblade Race

Galenus_of_Pergamon

I have a reasonable understanding of the other three classes. The Nightblade is my last frontier.

I currently have a 462cp glass cannon, Bosmer Nightblade, but I'm thinking about changing races to a Khajiit. I'm level 4.5ish in Assault so I almost have Vigor.

I know I cannot Min/Max with a hybrid (PVE and PVP) build to the fullest extent, but what's the best overall race for high damage output, sustainability, solo PVPing, group PVPing, Vet Dungeons, and Trials?

Redguard, best sustain, 10% max stam, good for dueling, group pvp, and PvE.

I prefer my woodelf because i like elves, and i mainly play open world, where the increased stam regen and reduced fall damage is more valuable that the stam return on hit (i also play as ganker sometimes, and woodelf excel at that).

Khajiit

Khajit is best for pve damage output as the racial crit Passives compliment the NB specific crit Passives. For pvp, since most run impen, overall damage will go down a bit, but will still perform quite well. Same could also be said for bosmer for the same reasons. Decision comes down to primary damage method...go bosmer for bow, khajit for melee.

Redguard is good for resource management in fight, bosmer is good for management out of the fight. Just have to decide which is better for your play style.

At the end of the day, any of the listed choices are good. Just have to decide which will be best for your specific play style and interests.

It's redguard because of resources.


In PVE khajiit is better for crit.

Khajiit

khajiit because of tail for balance and claws when someone disarm you

In terms of DPS: Khajiit>(Redguard=Imperial)

While Khajiit have the top pve damage potential due to their bonus crit, I'd say Redguard is better for a hybrid due to their superior stamina sustain and the fact that lots of people wear impenetrable in Cyrodiil. Either could work though.

The best race overall is Redguard.
In PvE, Khajit does about 1.5% more damage if I remember it correctly, but in PvP you will profit less from the 8% crit since people wear a lot of impen gear.
In addition to that, Redguard is also best for ressoure management.

Orc

If you want to succeed then pick Orc. Otherwise you can choose any of those useless races.

Orc

I would say orc or Nord. I think orc would be slightly better for PvE, and Nord would be slightly better for PvP.

I was khajit in past life, now I am a redguard. Pick redguard. It the best. Trust me. I know things.

ostrapz

Seriously though pick redguard, best for pvp easily, even as a ganked redguard works out better. Khajit is best for pve but unless your trying to compete for vma leaderboards and be a top tier pve'er the sustain will still be enough of a help to complete any content smoothly

Imperial

I really like Imperial on my nightblade. It allows me to use Duel stat stamina magicka drinks in pvp and have a lot of magicka utility at my disposal. The extra health allows me to do this. I have a friend who wants to build like i do but without imperial he has like 18k health in pvp.... yikes.

Imperial has the damage passive for pve. Sustain in pve should not be an issue if built correctly.

Khajit for pure PvE. Redguard for PvE + PvP.

Redguard is best in PvP and 2nd best in PvE as far as Stamina races go for DPS

They have the best sustain of all Stamina Races and are tied with Imperial for most stamina.

If you want more Survivability, Nord and Imperial are viable options as well.

Khajiit #1 pve class #2 ganking class.

Khajiit nightblade is great for PVP.
