Yes and more magic regen on an stamina character is totally useless, nice for tanks but Altmer has pretty bad racials for tanking. Better stamina regen is nice in PvP, vMA or just sprinting, its an weak stat however.Sanguinor2 wrote: »
How many people are playing stamina altmers ? I guess not a lot.
I never understood why zenimax choosed to make bretons 100% magicka while they're giving stam to altmers. This passive should have been for bretons
Thing with spell recharge is its only a stam passive when you are a mag char. As soon as you have more max stam than max mag on an altmer spell recharge will recharge mag so it doesnt help a hypothetical stam altmer with anything stam.
So in a comparison between stam altmer and stam breton altmer gets a bit of mag regen and max mag (spell Damage is completely useless for a stam build) and breton gets max mag, mag cost reduction and spell resistance. So actually stam Bretons get more out of their race than a stam altmer does since you can get (some) use out of all passives while the spell Damage from altmer is completely useless for a stam build since Nothing scales with it and for a pelinal build stacking weapon Damage is much more effective.
I have a Breton NB. Used to do Hybrid when that was a thing. With 1.6, I tried Stamblade. Not good, so I put him in Magic. Much better.
I like that some races are Stamina, some are Magic, some can do both. We have 8 Slots and the opportunity to change Race. No need to make all Races good at everything.
Besides, even as beat up as it is, we have decades of Elder Scrolls lore.
One thing I noticed is that many of the threads calling for changes to race passives are really just wanting to buff the race to the purposes of what that particular person wants for their own particular use of the race.
Ok guys, I won't be long because english is not my native language and I don't know to explain as well as in french, but EN forum has more impact.
BRETONS SHOULD NOT BE 100% MAGICKA
Actually, Breton is the only race 100% magicka oriented.
Even altmers can have some stamina from the 2nd passive :
- Spell Recharge: Restore 645 Magicka or Stamina, based on whichever is lower, after activating a Class Ability. This effect can occur once every 6 seconds. Reduces damage taken by 5% while you are using an ability with a cast or channel time.
Lore
As we know, breton are great soldiers. They're living in castles, have guards and army. They looks strong and great fighters with swords and shields.
Bretons came from Direnni Clan (Altmers) copulating with humans slaves. The progeniture got some magicka power and after some centuries, the magic has been diluted and they physically looked like real humans.
Actual BRETON Racial passives
- Opportunist – Increases your Alliance Points gained by 1%. <---- why ???
- Gift of Magnus: Increases your Max Magicka by 2000. <--- ok why not, seems legit from their Direnni ascendance
- Spell Attunement: Gain 2310 Spell Resistance and 100 Magicka Recovery. The Spell Resistance granted by this effect is doubled if you are afflicted with Burning, Chilled, or Concussed. <--- resistance why not about fighting
- Magicka Mastery: Reduces the Magicka cost of your abilities by 7%. <-- this passive is too much regarding the previous passives;
So, we can notice that there is absolutly no offensive aspect, only based on regen, max magicka and lowcost of magicka + some spell resistance.
Actually in ESO, theses passive make them the best magicka healers.
We're agree that it doesnt make them bad fighters.
STAMINA BRETON
Totally underperforming. Sure we can play stamina fighters, or even stamina tanks, but well, some magicka will be useless and at least 1 passive will be useless, depending your gameplay or your build.
As the game pretends we can choose whatever role (DD/TANK/HEAL) with our character, we're still depending about the race and actually, bretons are just incoherent with lore, especially regarding altmer's racial passives !
Please ZENIMAX, Give to stamina bretons some love.

Sources? Cause it looks like fan artsYou mentionned imperials who are the descendants of the nedics, like Bretons, who are also descendants of the Direnni (Altmers).
Logically they should be like imperials but with some magicka bonus.
Brétons foughts against orcs and redguards to defend their territory. The fight was balanced until they used their intelligence (from Nedics and Direnni) and their magicka knowledges, to finally win.
If they were only magicka based, all their culture would have been based on that. But they believe in the 8, like imperials, + some other like Magnus (magicka), Y'ffre (forest) etc. Soldiers wear heavy armors and use swords and shields.
For me, bretons are the perfect " magisfer " (i dont know the word in english but it's a warrior using sword and spell).
This is how they win battles.
But there is maybe another way to satisfy everybody, as I said. It's not because I want it for me only, but to be respectful about lore is important.
Great, I'm not here to negociate anything.
Just here to debate about lore and logical from breton's ascendance and history.
If this debate could drive zenimax to think about the next race system, maybe integrated into the next champion point system, I dont know.
Just saying "NO" or "IT IS NOT POSSIBLE" or "YOU ARE NOT HERE TO NEGOCIATE" or "YOU ARE DANGEROUS YOU WANT TO EAT CHILDREN" ok ok ok guys but it doesnt help this debate.
Please argue
Oh please, pretend at least to have read what he said, instead of just stupidly trashtalk him and reduce his whole argument to that.
Wrong, by the book i already gave, https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:The_Bretons:_Mongrels_or_Paragons? "The passionate race of Bretons embodies the strengths of both Men and Mer—as well as their flaws." See, they are not like imperials.You mentionned imperials who are the descendants of the nedics, like Bretons, who are also descendants of the Direnni (Altmers).
Logically they should be like imperials but with some magicka bonus.
Thats a thing i want a source to, because from what i know, orcs were running around highrock pretty freely, until their blood was mixed in with the breton. And the redguards were repelled thanks to their magical talent(which is kinda means they were balanced. after the magic.)Brétons foughts against orcs and redguards to defend their territory. The fight was balanced until they used their intelligence (from Nedics and Direnni) and their magicka knowledges, to finally win.
Baseless assumption. It is like saying that muslims shouldn't find Jerusalem holy cause it is Jewish's holy city, and they already have Meka. Religion doesn't work that way. (Nords worship all 9 divines too, including talos, at later times).If they were only magicka based, all their culture would have been based on that. But they believe in the 8, like imperials, + some other like Magnus (magicka), Y'ffre (forest) etc. Soldiers wear heavy armors and use swords and shields.
That's 100% an opinion until there is a source for that. And the fan arts after that, are fan arts.For me, bretons are the perfect " magisfer " (i dont know the word in english but it's a warrior using sword and spell).
This is how they win battles.
so ye, i have read his "arguments", which are less of an argument, and more of an opinion, he is not using ANY reliable source. More than once i already provided valid arguments, with specific examples, and he just ignored them, shoving his opinions as arguments back. If anything, it looks like you guys are not interested in a proper conversation, since by noting that someone's argument is baseless i am trash talking, i am out of this thread. Tag me when you are ready to have proper debate.Oh please, pretend at least to have read what he said, instead of just stupidly trashtalk him and reduce his whole argument to that.
Did you forget about khajiit because I will never forget I have always known khajiit to be good thieves now they can be good mages to loool this isn’t an unreasonable ask Breton could also have Nordic blood to because of the nord invasion regardless they are part human makes sense to me they have some stamina racial passives especially since it has been stated they are good soldiers as well.But there is maybe another way to satisfy everybody, as I said. It's not because I want it for me only, but to be respectful about lore is important.
Umm, no. Your depiction is basically the same as can be said of most races in ESO yet you continue to ignore how the Breton race has been designed for pretty much every TES game Breton's have been playable.
Besides that, you are not negotiating with anyone. You really have nothing to negotiate with as Zos is the ones that make the final choice and they seem pretty intent to stick with the magicka Breton as we have pretty much have had all along.
Edit: Just FYI, that second link, Zos has already closed the door on a similar idea. The original idea Zos had for changing races was only the appearance would change and the passives would stay the same. From their first statement on being able to change race passives that clearly decided to ditch that idea and keep the passives tied to the choice of race and appearance. So that seems to be an extremely unlikely path.
Completely agreeThevampirenight wrote: »Well though they are lore wise very great at magic I can see somewhat of a hybrid mix when it comes to their Gift of Magnus passive here is why. Bretons are great at Magic but they are shown to be great spells swords and swinging swords does require some type of stamina they are not the strongest race when it comes to the heaviest armors but many bretons take up the roles of knights and also wear heavy armor and act as soldiers.
He is right about that but they are very magic focused and changing the gift of magnus might be a little bit of a nerf but they have the other passives that are great for a magic focus and they shouldn't change that because its lore that they are very great when it comes to spell casting and magic focus.
This is Gift of Magnus right now.
Gift of Magnus
Rank I - Unlocked at Breton 5
Increases Max Magicka by 600 As a Hybrid 300 Max Magicka/300 Max Stamina
Rank II - Unlocked at Breton 15
Increases Max Magicka by 1200 As a Hybrid 600 Max Magicka/600 Max Stamina
Rank III - Unlocked at Breton 30
Increases Max Magicka by 2000 As a Hybrid 1200 max Magicka/1200 Max Stamina.
So the idea I can see up to a point because then that would be great for builds and maybe give them a boost of Stamina for use which could still be beneficial.
Khajjit and Dunmer were given a more hybrid focus in the balance changes and Bretons come from heavy mixing between Elves and Men. This is why they are known as Manmer. They are very great at being mages but they still have manish blood in them. So having a mixed attribute would make sense for them. Though still stick to the lore and make them heavily magic focused and not change any of the other passives. So they still excel at being some of the best mages and being one of the best spell caster races besides Altmer which are the best of the best when it comes to Spell Casting should remain the Bretons main focus because of its unique lore says they are.
A little bit of stamina wouldn't hurt the race it would go great with their hybrid biology. For those that build with a spell sword focus in mind it would be a boon for sure.
I like the way all TES games have racial passives.
I like bretons has magical main racial bonus.
But please stop comparing solo games to MMO games.
Plus, in solo games you maybe have 2 racial passive per race. Here in ESO each race has 4 bonuses. It makes the difference in a game where competition and score could be.
I know a lot of players choosing the race according to the passives and not the lore. That's sad.
As an exemple in TESV skyrim, bretons got 25% spell resistance and a special spell to absorb 50% magicka from spells attacks.
Only 1 passive bonus and 1 active special spell. That's all. And we're in a solo game you can personnalise your character with points later if you want to be the best with a sword you can.
In eso we have 1 racial bonus about something not giving a big advantage, I mean, when argonian swim faster or nords drink less, or bretons gain 1% AP, that makes no difference in combat, you can have the same build, this passive has no impact.
The 2 next passive give a bonus to the stats and the last one gives an important bonus.
There is absolutly no possible comparison between solo TES games and ESO as mmorpg.
