Argonian swim speed

With the addition of swimming mounts, (which I love) my days of out swimming everyone are now over. Can devs please look into adjusting the Argonians key passives so something else. Remember the Shadowscales.

    Great call. Maybe something more in line with damage dealing or resistance

    Make it stack with mount swim speed.

    Agree. Zos, please give us argonians a shadowscale mastery passive. Maybe some crit chance or much higher chance to do alchemical poison attacks?

    Pretty much all of the racial passives are out of balance again. I would hope that with the vengeance findings if they decide on doing a major pass of the skill system we see rebalancing of the other core systems of the game

    Like hybridization of stats being finished (why have weapon and spell damage still? crit? resists? etc.)

    Like certain mundus stones dont abide by the 2-4 piece standard

    Triglyphs clearly give more stats and are the obvious choice in pvp, (still dont get why they havent added dual enchants like Health+stam)

    The hybrid races like imperial or kitty being drastically stronger than the nonhybrid races. Or passives like the bosmer disease resists being so worthless in todays game with next to no disease damage.
    We should use the insightful and awesome buttons more

    Triglyphs are best in PvP but single stat are best for most roles in PvE, so that seems balanced. If triglyphs didn’t give more stats overall, there would be absolutely no reason to use them over single stat glyphs.

    Imperial and Khajiit are strong, but not uniformly best for everything. I think that Altmer, Dunmer, and Bosmer are strong choices for DPS, depending on whether one is using primarily stamina or magicka. The Bosmer passives are better than they used to be (although better if they also had decreased stealth detection radius) and I don’t mind some being mostly for “flavor” like disease resistance. For that matter, while I’d be happy for Argonians to get a Shadowscale themed passive, I hope they do keep the faster swim speed — especially if it now rarely provides an advantage, no reason to take it away! The potion cooldown is useful with some armor sets. Not arguing that Argonians couldn’t use some upgrades, but I like the unique things that are situationally beneficial too.
