    Didn't read description, sorry, but baited by thread name and:
    I personally believe that zos changes to dunmers are great and right ones as it fit its hyrbrid theme.
    But still can't deny that ability to restore lowest resource pool while have other max resource indeed sound hybrid/versatility-favour and unlike altmers would fit dunmer hybrid theme too: incase of them it would be smth like - have max mana bonus but restore only stamina, so magicka build have higher damage-no sustain, while stamina build have more sustain-no damage boost from stats. But such bonuses would mean to remove fire Resist bonus, which, if be completely honest, actually not that lore-wise in 2nd Era especially. However it contradict theme of dunmers as raw power o nstam build.

    My proposal doesn't eliminate the fire resist bonus (I like how this adds a unique flavor to the race), it instead drops the max resources (mag/Stam) from 1875 to 1500, giving altmer and orcs a little more room to breathe as the top burst dps races. It's a direct trade off between offensive power and utility that damage dealers would seriously have to consider.

    Right now, it appears dunmer are being completely overshadowed by both altmer (for mag) and orcs (for Stam) from an end game damage dealer perspective, and they are basically trading offensive power (in the form of 125 magicka or stamina) for nothing. These changes do widen the gap, but provide a lot more utility appropriate to their "hybrid" roll, strengthening their racial identity.
