SADLY, you’ll notice a difference in performance with a Redguard or Bosmer.

The health recovery is useless and the damage mitigation isn’t really worth it.

No, you really wont, not unless you are a min/max person. Sure, racial passives are nice, but they dont make THAT big of a difference in the end.

Health recovery is pretty worthless...but damage mitigation isnt, people always gush about the extra 5% health each person gets when the tank runs Ebon armor...but all of sudden 6% mitigation from a racial skill is worthless? Its better than the tank wearing Ebon for survival(though I think the tank wearing Ebon is virtually worthless too...I just equate that passive to the extra health from Ebon...equally pointless or equally good, depending on what you think of Ebon)

As someone who frequents non CP PVP, unfortunately....they really do matter and make a difference.

This is coming from someone who has three Nords. (Stam DK, Stam NB and Mag Temp).

The difference between a Redguard NB and Nord is quite noticeable.

In CP, you can mask it better with bloated champion points.

It's so wrong that it should be like this.

I'm not really a fan of racials, at all, as I find them somewhat.....well.....racist!

However, if you're going to have them, they need to be extremely balanced.

At the moment it seems to be that one, or two, races are considered optimum for pretty much everything.

Even if they were balanced, it's still extremely boring to always have to pick the same race (or know you're going to underperform) while making a char of a certain class.

Nordplar will be the new thing after the racial passives are updated. (I hope!) Either way, my only character is staying a Nord.

Was debating playing around with nord, troll king, seventh legion, cowards, with steed mundus setup on my stamplar. May just go ahead and have it as a troll build on my dressing room. Get below 50 to proc troll king and start getting some great health revocery, and sprint to keep the recovery outpacing damage. Get 7th legion proc, then turn and dump ulti.

EDIT: Just threw it together real quick and gathered a bunch of mobs and just stood there with FM up. It would proc and I would have about 2800 health recovery. Seems to compliment Nord really well having health recovery and major and minor protection going although the way the math works, nord is only adding very little to that. Will give it a try in PvP tomorrow

I'm in the process of creating/leveling a stamina templar myself.
Tried a Nord...deleted him at level 20
Tried an Imperial...deleted her at level 20
Now playing a Bosmer and it feels much better and I think I will keep this one. I'm at level 23 and still like playing her.

The Nord/Imperial I played 2H/DW.
The Bosmer I'm playing bow/DW.

The Bosmer feels right for my play style. Don't run out of stamina and I have enough magicka to use templar skills at this low level.

And I'm not even wearing set gear on the Bosmer..just whatever I'm picking up from quests...got tired of it while leveling the Nord and Imperial.

Also eventually I want to go werewolf with this character.

I wonder if it's the bow/DW you're preferring to the 2H/DW, rather than the Bosmer over the Nord/Imperial?

Makes sense. First rule of Nord templar club: you dont talk about Nord Templar club.
