Argonian race is worst for DD of all other races

No one cares how much DPS Argonians do because they're good at everything else. ZOS is giving you 3 race change tokens. Use them and leave the Argonian race alone.👏 NOT EVERY RACE HAS TO BE A TOP PVE DPS RACE 👏
Buffing Argonians' offensive stats will inevitably lead to their utility passives being nerfed. Just race change your toon and leave the rest of us Argonians alone.
I would love to see this. Moving from that useless tank racials to something else. Tanks are minority of all players here and now argonians will have no chance to play anything else
But every race needs to be exactly matched in straight up boring as *** dps parses, down to the very last decimal because apparently that’s the only thing that matters in this game.
ZOS didn’t say that every race would be perfectly matched for DPS. They said they wanted to even out the performance of each race while keep each races unique flavor and getting rid of percent stat boosts. They said do not expect a 1:1 conversion. This means toning down the DPS races that were at the top and bringing up the ones at the bottom and the same goes for tanking races. There’s no accounting for the willful ignorance going on with this patch release.
Being on more equal footing is what we're trying to achieve. Why people want to remain ignorant of that is beyond me but at this point, it's clear ZOS doesn't care about balance in the same sense as we do. The only balance ZOS cares about is in their check books because the 1st iteration of 4.3 was the most balanced the races had been, apart from a few minor nitpicks. 4.3.2 turned that balance on its head, gave races that didn't need buffs, even more power and races that needed help got nerfed instead.
Everyone keeps saying Argonians are fine but the truth of the matter is that they are NOT fine. Healer wise, we're weaker than practically every magic race, with less sustain than Breton. Tank wise, realistically everyone that is actually a decent player and can sustain themselves will be fundamentally better than an Argonian; Argonian is just training wheels for Tanking and little more. DPS wise we're last place across the board. Our PvP performance has dropped because of the combination of everything we lost vs what everyone else gained that. And yet, despite all this, people continue to say we are fine and that a small DPS boost would somehow break us, so you'll forgive me if I don't really see it that way.Argonian forever6 -
sionIV✭✭✭✭✭Argonian is:
Better tank than Imperial
Better healer than Imperial
Better Magicka DD than Imperial
Worse Stamina DD than Imperial
Better PvP choice than Imperial
Imperial is:
Worst Magicka DD
Worst Healer
6th place in Stamina DD
3th place in tanking.
So please tell me again, how the Imperial is better.

Argonian is worst magicka dd
Argonian is worst stamina dd
Argonian is 4th magicka healer
Argonian is worst stamina healer
Argonian is 4th stamina tank
Argonian is 2ND magicka tank

Better Tank is subjective. There isn't any way to judge a Tank other than" Did they grab/maintain aggro?" and "Did they survive?" The main difference between Imperial and Argonian on PTS ATM is that Imperials have 5% Block/Bash cost reduction, and have 1k more Health+2k Stamina vs 6% Healing Done, 25% more resource restore and 1k Magic (the Disease Resistance matters little in terms of Tanking as there's no disease damage in PvE content and in PvP the only thing it really helps against is Incapacitating Strike). The resource restore is negligible, outside of PvP, since Healers help out for the most part in that department, to say nothing of the self sustain of DK/Warden Tanks in PvE content. In PvP, the difference being that an Imperial will do more damage than an Argonian while an Argonian has better sustain. At this point, I'd say they're about even on Tanking.
Also, we can't even do tests on Imperial now to see how it fairs in comparison to other Stamina DPS since Red Diamond got changed but I'd be willing to be it's on par with Bosmer in terms of PvE DPS.
As for the PvP side of things, Argonians aren't the top of the food chain anymore there either. Their sustain isn't nearly as impressive, their self healing is weaker than before and poison damage is more potent on them to say they're better is subjective as well.
So Argonian is a better Magic DPS/Healer, Imperial is a better Stamina DPS, which sounds about right for both races but considering we're fighting over LAST PLACE, there's really no good argument to be had for either race. They both need help, full stop.Argonian forever2 -

In PvP it is also overrated passive. What happens often is that you are low on stamina and you get stunned / cc-ed and you can not drink potion (even if it is off cooldown) while you are stunned. So relying solely on potion passive is basically a "noob trap" and most of the time you will end up dead fast if you do so.Crafts_Many_Boxes wrote: »In PvP, I'll admit it can come in handy. I don't pvp much with my argonian, but I do notice that I'm often restoring health, magicka, and stamina when I use a potion.0 -
idk✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭argonians get a very small boost to magicka pool on live as well. So what OP is speaking to does not take into account what Argonians actually do get.
One cannot look at a specific passive in a vacuum as OP has done and make a proper comparison.
In other words, if OP rolled an Argonian on live thinking it was a great DPS race they have been doing it wrong all along.Edited by idk on February 7, 2019 8:23AM2 -
Sinolai✭✭✭✭✭Argonian is very common dd in PvP. Not becouse of huge damage but becouse of good sustain and healing, while also being immune to disease that would reduce healing recieved. In PvE they are not that strong due to everyone doing a DPS race and Argonain lacking raw damage, but the benefits are still there and you would notice the difference in a bad group. You still have easy time healing yourself, sustaining your resource pool while doing a stable damage. In PvE argonian is mostly (and most) used Healer or a Tank and it really shine in those spots.

✭✭✭✭✭It does seem some do not understand Zos is not trying to make all races similar or even similar DPS wise. They are providing us choices and the argonian is superior with regen (with a healing boost) and Zos seems intent on keeping it that way.
Considering Argonians have been a very popular race for those who are more interested sustain (and healing/tanking) I do not see any reason Zos should alter the passives to be something else.4 -

Dunmer has no sustain same with High elves unless the nerf is reverted, Khajiit has low sustain and crit is not something you want to bet on in healing, yes they can heal the same way an Argonian can do damage.Tommy_The_Gun wrote: »I agree that argonian DPS potential should be buffed in some way. Especially if you take into account that after next patch argonian will not be as good in tanking & healing roles.
Currently it is a BIS race for a tank role and good choice for a healer role. After next patch this will change and Argonian will be outpreformed by other Races.
So as a tank they will be outperformed by Nords, Imerials and possible even Redguards (most of the reason for that is that Argonians will be missing their +5% healing received bonus, while other races received numerous buffs).
As a Healer they will be outperformed by Bretons, High Elves, Dark Elves and even Khajiits (again, mostly because other races received numerous buffs that will outshine Argonian 6% bonus to healing done).
Argonians will still have some potential to be used in those roles (tank & healer) but the same can not be said about DPS role.
Bretons will be strong healers and also pretty sturdy who is nice.
Not saying Argonians should not get an damage bonus. Only reason not to give them it would be pvp balance.Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.0 -

And no, they are not worst DD race.
Based on sustain they have and some other races dont, I would guess worst race for DD is Nord, on anything that is nor stam dragonknight.3 -
Princess_Ciri✭✭✭✭✭Argonians are so strong in pvp (as any role) and make good tanks/healers in pve, I don't think you have much to complain about. The race is so strong it's basically broken.

Witar✭✭✭✭✭Well you need to have some races fitting for a tank and healer too. Wanna have something with a tail that do damage - pick khajiit.It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt,
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills,
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.1 -

So not just argonian got it.. But all players of all roles. CP scaling is now even more stronger for stacking max pools, so that 1k difference will be even bigger.
All i want is to buff argonian max magicka to 1500-2000 which isnt gamechanging and gamebroking. It just can help argonian dps to keep with other dps
I don't care about resourceful. I am able to offer this passive In exchange for something else. In this state it is overrated and useless.0 -

We you complaining when 90% of tanks were Argonians because they were better suited for it?Argonian was never a DD race, it's always been bis for sustain/healing. That's part of the uniqueness of the race, not every race should have the exact same damage/healing/sustain capabilities. They should be good in some areas and weaker in others.
Thing is thre are better healers ( breton + altmer) better tanks ( Nord, redguard) and every race is better for dps.

Argonians are insanely OP on live right now at least in PvP. They are the best race for even STAMINA on live, are you seriously defending the live version of it? The nerfs don't kill the class at all, to be honest for magicka builds I'd rate them 2nd best (behind breton).Overload rework.

In this case everything is "insanely op". Every build, role and class.
You judge whole class because of tanks in pvp?
Resourceful is worth passive only for tanks.1
