The Imperial Race Debate

Vetixio

I find it dumb tbh that the Khajiit got magicka bonuses like what why the rugs? And not Imperials cause Imperials are more capable in the arcane arts, just look at past games and lore. I mean it would at least make them a bit more diverse than mainly being seen as tanks or the rare stamina dps. Idk just my opinion.

Ultimate and mag spell cost reduction in addition to 133 mag/2s Regen not arcane enough?

Thats true yes. But I meant like a small max magicka bonus like 1k or something? Maybe just change the stamina bonus from 2k stamina, to 1k stamina 1k magicka. Cause in the other TES Imperials have always been pretty balanced in their skill bonuses some being in stamina/warrior based skills and some being in magicka based skills. Whereas Khajiits are stealthy and have never had magicka bonuses.

Personally, i don't think mathematics, when picking a race. I just pick a race what I think would look good for the class.
So now, i got 2 imperials, but are on stam: one stamplar DD and one DK tank.

I just started tanking in general, so my experienced tank friends suggested me to make a Nord, because it's more comfortable. But I like the looks of the imperial, so I went with that. So far i did some vDLC dungeons with him (on hm) and managed without any big problems, while not even having vigor unlocked.

On my stamplar i have more experienced and she can easily run in vTrials. She won't hit the top notch numbers, but she can pull her weight in it.

I believe if you have the skills, right gear (and positive mindset) you can hit high DPS with any race/class.
Just don't compare yourself too much with others, and you'll have a great time.

I went Imperial for a thief and I regret nothing. Khajit may provide better stats but IMO diplomat is better to an experienced player.
