PvP race choice

CMDR_Un1k0rn

What race would you consider better for a PvP (Cyrodiil) Nightblade DD?

Redguard or Imperial?

Bosmer

Orc, Khajiit, and Dunmer are all viable choices as well.

I'd only recommend Imperial if you want to play a Heavy Armor brawler StamNB. Otherwise, Wood Elf, Orc, Khajiit, and Dark Elf are better options.

if you use 3-4 weapon skills or a weapon skill spammable/ult, go redguard

Orc is the best race all around now. BiS damage + health, it's a no brainer and fit in any build and work perfectly fine. Ohter choices you might consider:

- Nord: For brawler NB, can forego heavy and go medium and be really freaking tanky, nord ult gen with bloodspawn is an awesome combo too and works really well on NB because incap is cheap.
- Wood Elf/Khajiit: Ganking builds. Khajiit can work fine on well-around builds too but Orc does better on those imo.

Imperial and Redguard are imo not that good for NB, Orc would benefit you more.

Out of the two you asked I would go imperial because the magic regen you would want as a stamblade plus the redgaurd weapon reduction is only weapon skills and I would use more class skills on a PvP

You need to ask yourself if your using class skills and some a magicka based buffs or just weapon skills

Just my thoughts

It depends on your build
Like really: race is the last thing I allways tweak in my builds while theorycrafting. You shouldn't be asking yourself or us a question: "What race is best for stamina pvp?". You should be asking what gamestyle and build will be the best for you.

I for example have a stamina Bosmer Nightblade and she is insanely powerfull. She started as just another cute Bosmer in my roster and she stayed a Bosmer... although now she rips wings from daedric titans while laughing at zerglings trying to kill her.
I think she could also be a Redguard, but definitely not an Orc - because they are ugly AF.
It really depends on your gamestyle. FOr example if I were to build for raw Weapon Damage to get some insane ganking, I would pick an Orc (for others - never for myself). But the best all rounder is usually Redguard.

Consider the fact that protective traits are being nerfed next patch, quite heavily, so this will make Nords one of the most valuable races in PvP.

Yea, I’m not 100% sure for stam, but Nord and Orc are good choices. Bosmer too I guess.

CMDR_Un1k0rn

Thank you for the advice guys.

MentalxHammer

Nord BiS all builds next patch.

I ahven't run the numbers yet but since Protective trait is going to be nerfed, Nord might actually become best in slot for most stamina builds.

All races are good but imo nord is bis because the resistances are op and the fast ultimate regeneration is good as well.

Yea, it depends how popular onslaught will be, and I’m betting it’ll be pretty popular.

StamNB PvP I would go bosmer all day.
