Bosmer (and others) passives

CTSCold

just thought I'd make a newer post about racials we might like to see.

I personally would like Bosmer 'stealthy' switched to be a ranged version of swift warrior from the Orc tree.

Maybe stealth speed instead of sprint speed (or even still detection radius) and a %bonus to damage from ranged abilities. While there are currently not many ranged stam abilities outside of Bow and hidden blade (and soon the warden one) it would at least up bow dmg and maybe pave the way for a couple more ranged morphs.

What Passives do you think could use a rework with a new chapter on the way?

It would be nice to see ranged bow/bow stamina DPS become something more than just a circus sideshow freak in PVE. PVP ganking took a huge hit, so now there's no reason to keep Bow ranged DPS 5 levels below bottom tier in PVE.

If anyone could pull off ranged stamina DPS lore-wise, a Bosmer could.

Perhaps buffing ranged for Bosmer might give too much of a buff overall since everyone uses a bow backbar when running a Stam DPS build. There'd be a lot of whine threads on the forum about the whole meta race selection thing again...

Perhaps Nightblades could use a ranged buff passive. The Bow weapon skill line could use another stamina ranged buff passive. The whole game could use a stamina ranged buff passive.

Any buffs to help bow should be in the bow skill line. Though I run a Bosmer, many don't. And she is a stamsorc not a stamblade. So yeah, put the buffs in the bow line to allow more race/class flexibility for bow/bow builds.

But yes. Bow/bow PvE needs help. I run 3 bosmer. A magplar, magsorc and bow/bow stamsorc. The latter is fun but can't hold a candle to the first two performance wise.

Here's a bow skill line passive I'd like to see:

When a bow is equipped on both bars, the set bonus for the bow on the inactive bar is also additive to the current set. This wouldn't count for maelstrom/master bow damage bonuses.

Gankers in PVP have been getting clever alchemist buffs for quite some time by drinking a potion on a back bar and swapping over to their marksman or whatever bow with 600 more weapon damage available, but there's really nothing helpful like that in PVE. Clever Alchemist makes a poor PVE set.

All good and fair points thanks for replying. You both makes sense. As far as bow i think the main passive that need to change is the extra dmg at max range. How often can you really stay at max range and still do mechanics/receive heals? Seems like a waste in PVE. It could be replaced by a lower flat dmg boost to ranged skills. Not just bow skills.

Racial Passives are fine as is.

No changes needed

This is a non-issue

Much more important for ZOS to focus their attention on fixing lag/performance and the group/dungeon finder.

It's just that bosmer has a racial that is only useful for pvp. Sadly bosmer have a waste of a racial slot if you don't pvp

Sorry but this is a non-argument.

Different parts of the team work on different things. Sure lag and performance needs attention but thats a completely different set of people than the team who works on skills and item sets. They can be done simultaneously.

Uh there is a guy on YouTube that said he hit 40k solo do so yeah.. why not add on to the resistive passive. Poison damage. Do that for all classes like the dark elf. Nord better cold damage, high elf shock resistance, Breton magic damage, imperials and health abilities, Kitty has some crit resist maybe or snare cause of their purrrrfect foot placement?(sorry), orc and melee damage resist, argonian resistance to resource s damaging effects...

Racials don't influence my character choice. All Bosmer needs is a cannibalize skill and we'd be set.
