If only one race were to get a buff, which needs it the most?

    They should have their passives reduced and change to passive that do not really influence the game so much.

    Look at most any other game out there. Passives are nice, but they by no means make it so race actually needs to be a factor when deciding your role.

    Currently worse sustain and less stam than redguard :( -> Change the Stealthy passive into small amount of extra crit damage (~5%) and we're even

    Breton could use some love too.
    Bit of extra spell resistance they have isn't useless but... not rly that appealing either. Give them small extra to magic damage (~4%) would seem like a cool idea to me. No race has that so far and would be a cool option for builds that are less focused on elemental damage

    agree to that, and maybe add that too dark elves maybe high elves dont need that, they are good elemental based damage dealers

    • Reduce the cost of stamina abilities by 3% or something(matching the Bretons a bit).

    how could u translate this into a passive bonus (they used to have battle cries in past eso games)

    What about adding 1 second to each Ultimate, or a small percentage of damage done or such. Shouts were kind of like ultimates in Skyrim.

    How people simply ignore the 6% damage reduction of Nords, which is among the strongest passives in the game.

    Which gets hit hard by diminishing returns unless you're in full light armor. But I am not surprised to see you vote Altmer. A more biased sorc main cannot be found on these forums. ;)

    We aren't ignoring it.
    • It's only 6% of a fraction of incoming damage. Your 10K tooltip = 5K after battlespirit = 3K after resistance/debuffs/CPs = 1K after blocking. Now 6% isn't so hot.
    • When St Olms hits you for 98,000 damage because you missed a mechanic, 6% of anything is of zero help or use.

    But 10% more health is going to safe you or what ?
    6% is almost as much as minor protection. It's such a good passive.

    Believe what you want. Sorc is a dead class for me and no longer my main. I do not play it solo anymore.
    And I vote Altmer, because I still believe they deserve 12% more magicka and not the same 10% that bretons get.
    Altmer have the most magicka lore wise and I want it enforced (because they once had 12% as it should be)

    And yes, I would also take elemental weakness in return, if you come up with this argument now.
    But there is no point in arguing with a stamina templar QQer who doesn't recognize the OPness of his own class.

    Nord is the clear answer.

    Most people voted for their race to get a buff but nord we all know is weak.

    I know why I would play an Altmer, an Argonian, a Dunmer, an Imperial, a Khajiit, a Redguard... excluding aesthetics (and as I'm not into RP), I can't see why I would roll up a Bosmer, a Breton, a Nord, or an Orc.

    There may well be good reasons, I just don't grasp them.



    If you like never running out of Stamina/Mana, play Bosmer and Breton respectively.

    I have a Bosmer Stam Warden and a Breton Magicka Warden. Neither ever runs low on resources. Ever. I tried switching my Warden to Imperial since I prefer that race, but ended up changing back ASAP. That Bosmer Stamina regen is insane.

    The question was which race NEEDS a buff the most. You can't possibly believe that of all the races the Altmer are in the worst spot of all. At least most of the others voting for the best races admitted to being biased. If this poll were to be taken seriously, Nords would have 90%+ of the vote (and probably should be at 100%).

    Nord needs a passive that make since for thier role. There is a class in daggerfall the first elder scrolls that makes this passive even more friendly. I think the class was sorcerer. Wear it didn't start with magic but absorb magic attacks to gain it's magic.

    Get rid of health recov.

    Ancient sorcerer: when damaged regain x magic. Just like the redguard.

    This seems weird but sustain has been constantly been the most important thing for the devs.... Mag gain would be great for tanking.

    ...and you call yourself an elder scrolls player?!
