End Game Pve StamNecro Race

SkoobySnaxx

Im making a Necro atm and im torn between Orc, Khajiit, and Dark Elf. Orc (for health passive). Khajiit (Crit Dmg), and Dark Elf (so i can switch to magcro or stamcro anytime)
But for endgame pve which would be best? I know health got nerfed from food so if i ever do a trial with dubious or arteum id have 14k-15k hp if im not an orc. What do you guys prefer?

The Orc thing was a farce for everyone the doesnt run vet trials in a good group, they just cant sustain a rotation w/o heavy attacks, all mine are still Redguard and my dps is well in the 40s on the old dummies and 70s on the new fully buffed dummy.

Which is a hideously bad parse for the strongest stam dps class in game.

OP: orc allows you to use lava foot soup in pve as long as one tank has ebon. Go with that.

Since you mentioned stam build, Orsimer (Orc) seems to be the BIS race for stamina builds at this time in both PvE and PvP. You'd also get some nice PvP passives for choosing Orsimer. However, Khajiiti's extra crit dmg is interesting in PvE considering the pseudo-execute from Necro's Death Knell passive (probably not as good in PvP though). Khajiit could probably do magicka build just effectively as a stam build for their race, but I hear magicka Necro isn't doing too great overall. Bretons would probably make a better magicka Necro than Dark Elf (Dunmer) due to the magicka sustain and spell resistances from racials.

Orc or Khajiit, necro sustain passives are not great but 2 handed should have no problem. Necro has class passive 1250 health bonus, go with Orc if you want to build for more health. Necro can crit 100% during execute phase, and stam Khajiit can do massive damage there with a weapon execute. Magicka necro don't have an execute.

I'm guessing you didn't play during the New Life event over the end-of-year holidays?

I hope you have fun with it. Khajiit are pretty flexible this patch even if not the absolute best at a specific role. Just keep in mind they can be kinda squishy if investing entirely into stamina, so you may want to use food or invest a few points into health to stay alive, but this shouldn't be too much of an issue since Necro's Last Gasp Passive grants a little bit of extra health (1250 at max rank).

I play Khajiit on all my classes, crit damage and heal is harder to come by, it allows me to switch between magicka and stamina whenever and the tri recovery helps.
