So, for a PVE DPS and PVP, with the occasional tanking sometimes, would you guys say Nord or Orc? From what I see Orc has better damage in general and run speed, and Nord the resistances and ult charge. What do you think?
Cheers!

Orc seems to be the master race right now. Yet there is something very compelling about the nords. Maybe its the viking feel that tickles me in a good way. At least dk and nord has the ultimate synergy. So pick the race you like the most :-)2 -

Is the extra wep damage from orc that noticeable for pve?0 -

✭✭✭✭Nord is a good PvP stamina race, ideal for especially Dk and warden.
Orc is a no brainer with any stam class really. Best synergy is probably with stamsorc and stamden if you're considering it for the running speed , but as I said it works well with any stam class.Edited by Ragnarock41 on October 29, 2019 1:09PM0 -

I think the run speed is not a deal breaker since we have expedition on demand with wings, but how's the sustain of both of them?0 -

✭✭My friend changed from redguard to Orc on stamcro. Gained about 8k DPS on the super dummy.
That being said, I’m a big fan of my Nord Stam Necro. It’s noticeably more tanky giving room for little mess ups here and there.0 -
Eniredir✭✭So basically from what I've been reading Nord is better for PVP and you can build towards damage and Orc is more of a multi role race, however you have to build towards some resistances. Is this a correct assumption?0

Depends on the build. Nord will have better sustain on a DK because ulti regen = sustain for DK. However, Orc has that extra wep damage passive which can be converted to sustain via mundus or jewelry glyphs if you want. But then again maybe you want some extra resistance on your build, which will require that you sacrifice some sustain or damage.. whereas Nord has resistance built-in. So many factors. The best thing is to figure out what kind of stats you're shooting for, and pick a race that will most easily help you reach those stats. The UESP build editor is awesome for figuring that stuff out.0 -

✭Nord is a good tank. Interestingly enough, my magDK in PvP is Nord and the extra defense, stats I would normally have to build for through sets, and ult gain is great.
Orc is good all around. My Stam sorc is an orc. Orc speed bonus+minor expedition+steed mundus+major expedition is a real blast in PvP.Hey everyone! Look! It's a signature!0 -

✭Nord got extra tanky and ultimate regen. Orc delivers extra pain.
Honestly, both are really good. unless ur parsing on a dummy, there won't be a big difference at all...
PS: dead people do no DPS... that's why i pick Nord.August Palatine Davadin Bloodstrake - Nord Dragon Knight - PC NA - Gray Host

✭✭✭✭Nord is really strong in PVP on magDK as well. And I prefer my nord stamden to my orc stamden.
Orc is pretty much stam only.0
