Seeing lots and lots of "talk" around the proposed changes/nerfs/nukes whatever you call em for these classes once patch goes live. Many say kitty or die while many others are singing the Breton song. It looks as though they are both close enough that it wont really matter? I think many will turn to the Khajit simply because in the past you couldn't, or shouldn't, so people are just stoked to be able to play magicats!
Or...…and this could be huge...is there truly enough of a difference between the two? Are Bretons gonna be sustain kings and so many will flock to that side? Or is the crit beast enough to draw you into the skooma? Which is "better"...crit or sustain? I reckon it comes down to the build and what the player wants to do, no?
How many of you plan to go the way of the cat and/or the way of "mr.lastallnite"? Feel free to share...or not....it will all play out in a few weeks anyways.
Then things will really get crazy!!!! ;)

    Well aside from healing, Altmer is a much better mag dd pick.

    Khajiit will have ok mag dps but will be a few percent off top.

    Sustain is not needed, and a wasted stat on a top DD. Crit damage is nice but nowhere near as nice as 2.4k mag and 258 damage.

    Khajiit just got weirder.
    No idea about real impact except that Khajiit setup will be different than other races.

    Breton is magic sustain king.

    Looking forward to actual data.

    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Okay, but I don’t think OP is asking for what the top dd is. He is asking which is worth it to pick. Except for great to best raid groups, you need some sustain, especially on a sorc. I think Breton will always be good, since you have no sustain issues, so mistakes can be made without costing you too much. Also, viable in any group or solo. Try vMA with an Altmer or Dunmer compared to Breton... always choose the Breton. The Khajiit I don’t know yet, but it would seem it’s a bit of a nerf (especially with major force), but still a very cool race to play with good passives.

    Worth to pick:

    Altmer - Dunmer - Khajiit - Breton (Argonian)

    Who can do the job? All races.

    @Seraphayel Either you remove Argonian, or you include Imperial.

    Well frankly either you're a minmax player, or you simply choose the option for style. Ill be playing a stamsorc Dunmer this patch, and my usual pvp main the Altmer magden will remain an Altmer.

    Those are not the only two options. Not everything is Black or White as you seem to see it. You can also choose easiest (Breton) or something you like while not falling too far behind.

    I rate the additional Magicka and Healing higher than Red Diamond. But that's everybody's own choice. If I add Imperial I could add Redguard as well.

    This Beton will be easiest because of sustain. Khajiit has some sustain and together with Dunmer has the benefit that you can also play Stamina.
    You can also compensate for low sustain with food or enchants.

    And no racials is wildly overrated. However if you want to play an healer and can not deside between Nord and Breton :)
