Besides, what is the harm? It's not like Orcs are suddenly BiS for magDPS. Or High Elves for stamDPS.

Then ask zos why since 2014 the Redguards have been only a stamina race,
I don't care about lore now, but only what happened and is happening with the races in the game

if you haven't noticed the new direction they are taking racials then I don't know what to tell you. They seem to be trying to make every race viable in mag and stam rolls giving unique differences between them. They gave argonians max stam and mag, Orcs get spell+weapon damage, high elves spell+weapon dmg, imperials get a 6% cost reduction to all abilities, wood elves get flat pen. only two races that seem roll defined are breton for mag and redguard for stam. I think eventually all races will have an advantage in some way (might not always be useful) in both mag and stam rolls

Don't you think that races will lose their uniqueness at such a rate? If everyone has both spd and wpd, then there will not be much uniqueness

no, orc has fantastic healing and runs faster , high elf has better sustain for its lowest stat and a damage reduction passive on channeled abilties like dizzy. both unique in my opinion

Dunno how it will play out, but light armor is getting huge stamina buffs.
Max spell/weapon damage is the best passive, imo. So now you have three viable options for mag and stam instead of two.

The other 2 passive lines for each race still exist.
Just because you're hybridizing the spell and weapon damage doesn't mean you're making every race the same.
Why be for arbitrary aesthetic limitations that literally don't affect the balance of the game?
Altmer and Orc are still different enough even though they both have access to spell and weapon damage.

No stamina isn't a indicator to play stamina, my favorite mag support race has been Nord.
Stamina is a must have on a pvp magicka character, I run 14k-18k stam on all magicka toons: block, cc break, dodge, etc...
Long overdue change.

if you ever play high-end content in pve you will find that stamina or mana is an indicator. You will receive more damage in stam class if you have stamina passive skills than magic.

It's just weird, if zos concentrates orcs as staminists, so keep doing it, same with Altmer, even if Altmer focuses like a magician. But just giving spd orcs and wpd altmers is very strange. I see it being done for casuals.

Yup, but I don't play end game pve. Playing on and off since 2014 and have never stepped into a trial.
PvP.
