Best Stamplar race PVP

MrDenimChicken

Hey all, title says it all. I want to make a stamplar for PVP.

I heard nord and orc were best in slot. I hear Stamplar has plenty of damage but dmg mitigation is limited....so sounds like Nord would complement the stamplar's deficiencies well.

But can any experienced stamplars tell me their opinion?

I've never been a top-tier PvPer (or, well, anything honestly), but I am experienced and I'll tell you this:

Unless you're cool with paying for race change tokens to keep up with ZOS's changes, just go with whatever race you like best -- for whatever reason -- and enjoy that. The differences in racial passives aren't make-or-break bonuses.

Going with whatever's meta will lead you to costly respecs and/or disappointment. Sooner or later, it will happen. *CoughcoughREDGUARDScough*

I like nord. Have been nord before the racial pass. It became meta in PvP. After next update, it's may be better to roll something else. Orc possibly. I'm also kind of intrigued by wood elf

With the changes that are incoming, imperial seems like it might be the best bet.

I personally like Orc on stamplar, especially with the Wild Hunt RIng(which won't work in cyro right now). Even though I'll be losing some stam next patch I feel like Orc, Nord or Wood Elf are all good fits on stamplar. Imperial is nice too but I don't really feel like I "need" the cost reduction from Imperial on stamplar.

If I played more CP PVP, I'd definitely go Orc, but I primarily BG, hence I lean toward Imperial next patch
