What's the best race for a stamsorc?

Lady_Linux

someone knows this one? i'm still just getting my feet wet with stam builds... been playing magicka healers and magicka tanks for two years

I have a decent enough stamplar with zaan and new moon acolyte and sload's semblence that's effective for dungeons and other pve

trying to broaden my skill set a bit

Orc is meta for all stam dps

Enemy-of-Coldharbour

I'm not sure what the FOTM is now, but I play a Redguard stamsorc and have no regrets.

Lady_Linux

Ty both..

or rather,

Chanwen Stergum thanks you

I like Dark Elf as they seem well balanced for any build. The increase to stam and mag as well as spell and wpn dmg works well with all types of damage builds. As for tanking, having an increase in both stats allow for slight modification in stat distribution.

Thats weird i meant to create a socr by was thinking about a poison dragon night too and created a dragon night by 'mistake'?

guess i'm going with a poison dragon night

Orc
Nord
Redguard

I think is the current "Meta builds"

max_only

It’s never Bosmer, I can tell you that.

Their racial update “improved” wood elf from being “gankers only” to “not even good at that”.

I use dark elf but If i could choose again it would be Orc without a doubt 👍

Bosmer for sustain.
Orc for damage
Nord for tankyness and ult gen

Dark deal is all the sustain a stam Sorc needs.

Played a bosmer for years, always loved it(had just read an elfquest novel before creating him) after several years(3? 4?) I changed him to imperial. Then changed him after about 6 months to magicka just so I can see what the other side lives like.

I have a Bosmer Stamsorc

So do I! It’s my main pvp character!
Best race though?

Karmanorway

Well some have bosmer, i could also pick one If i had planned to use sets like Hulking draugr and build for max resources OR If i wanted to build a high regen build with Willow's path etc, then bosmer is probably the best choice. But If you want something universal then Dark Elf is especially a good one. I used to play cheesesorc, then i changed my mind and made a weaponsorc no problemo! 😁

BUT... they can Sew like nobody else. They have very nimble thimbles.

r34lian

My preference is always redgaurd
They have amazing sustain
Of my 6 stamina dps 4 are redgaurd 1 orc necro and 1 imperial dk

Knightpanther

Played Imperial from the start, never looked back

Be safe

snoozy

you can't spell sorc without orc.

Mine is a farming char. But I built it before they did the racial overhaul. I just never took the time to learn Stamsorc.

racial passives are racist so play any stam sorc you like and give a middle finger to the constructed notions of racial ability and covert racist social programming you are being subjected to.

orc gets synergy from health gain and speed

redguard is nice for sustain since you use a lot of weapon abilities

redguard or nord fit probably best fluff/lore wise (dervish type character or nord thor type character)

Hapexamendios

Mine is a Redguard and currently my favorite character.

Loralai_907

Mine is a Bosmer and I love her. Is she meta? No. But is she the most fun? Yes! But, she is also a drunken zombie with pigtails so that may or may not have something to do with it. I take that whole thing to the next level by also being a pita and throwing fears around to mess groups up that are trying to ball up and run somewhere. Here, have a fear! Or, you sir need to HALT!

Conduit0

All of the stam races are within a thousand dps of each other, Orcs are technically the top, but honestly race choice will not make or break a build.

Mancombe_Nosehair

Mine is a dark elf, so I can respec into a magicka class if I want to swap, or stamsorc gets nerfed.
