    The swim speed bonus is very convenient and you can't get it anywhere else.

    That swim bonus is killing it.

    Well, I heard rumors that Argonians use performance-enhancing drugs to outperform all other races; investigations are underway.

    Should be the first race with the ability to go underwater and once ZOS will adapt an engine similar to GW2's the Saxhleels will be OP.

    Hist sap is not a drug. It's organic and doesn't hurt the Hist in any way

    trust zenimax to nerf an underperforming race.wood elf,redguard and highelf are still the meta races by far.

    Like others have said, it's the swim speed. It needs at least a 50% nerf.

    what racial skill does Argonian have that is the slightest way overpowered?
    none that i can see.
    lets be honest here, is there something they have that is unfair to the other classes? i think "no", nothing i can see that is unfair.

    Argonian Racial Skills:

    Restoration Expertise
    Increases XP gain with Restoration Staff skill line by 15%.

    Swim speed increased by 50%.
    Potion effectiveness increased by 5%.

    Increase Poison and Disease resistance by 7.
    Max Health increased by 1%

    Quick to Mend (0/3)
    Increase your healing received by 2%.

    if i was in charge i would increase a few things and remove / replace the stupid swim speeds.

    I'm going to assume you're joking. Argonians are just fine and need no nerfs. They have great sustain, probably the best. In exchange they have no damage buffs and really only benefit from being a tank or healer. I wouldn't pond race them for money but they're A-Ok as is.

    the correct bonuses are:

    9% health
    3% magicka
    3250 health/mag/stam when you consume a potion
    5% healing given/taken
    50% swim speed
    15% faster restoration
    1350 poison resistance

    If Argonians need a nerf; so do Altmer, and Dunmer, and Redguards, and Khajiit, and Bosmer, and Bretons, and Orcs, and Imperials. Nords legitimately suck already though.

    4620 h/m/s when consume potion. (its equivalent of 205,33 s/h/m regen but every 45 seconds)
    Not impressive. Very nice tanks and healers, absolutly crap as dd with only one (3% bonus to mana) bonus which usefull only for mana variant and it's even less than Nords (if chosen for race passives - only good, not best tanks) have (6% to stamina)
    I don't think Zos will nerf them same as Nords. Maybe it was said by that people about some balance for making them better as dd but with worse sustain?

    That video was the best ... thing ... ever ... made. <3

    But Argonians are SO NOT OP. Heck, Nords have better passives than Argonians do, in my opinion.

    Yeah, if they could kill mobs with their swim speed, then they'd be OP.

    At least if they get nerfed, it can't be any worse than it used to be.

    Right?
