✭✭✭✭✭I don't think it matters, but in any event you'd also need to consider the racial passives according to your proposed weapons rather than just the class. This is the sort of game, however, where a lot of players are drawn to a particular race (or not) according to their previous experiences with TES. The same comments will apply to the other class polls.
I have both Imperial and Nord templars, neither is high level but I'm happy with both.Edited by Tandor on September 20, 2014 9:37AM0 -
boony✭✭ArgonianHave to agree with other comments, not sure it matters, but Magicka is what you need plenty of.
Spamming 'Puncturing Strikes' in PVE with auto hits works well, and sometimes in PVP, but eats Magicka.0 -

✭✭KhajiitI have a Khajiit Templar, the racials are all wrong for it, but it works anyhow, so of course I have to vote for it.
Actually my Khajiit Templar is my strongest character, he was the easiest to level up.Edited by AlexDougherty on September 20, 2014 10:14AMPeople believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

BloodStorm✭✭✭AltmerAltmer for every class. 10% more magicka racial is awesome. Helps negate inner light and other abilities that take a % magicka cost. Clearly ZoS favors Altmer as well. More magicka = more damage / spammingEdited by BloodStorm on September 20, 2014 10:19AM2

✭BretonBreton has 10% max magicka as well as 3% cost reduction. Once the spell penetration thing is sorted the extra spell resist will be nice.1 -
Pseudolo✭✭✭ImperialI clicked imperial by mistake, but I wanted to say Altmer, because of the magicka bonus.0

✭✭✭ImperialI chose Imperial but I'm not sure I really believe it, its just what my main character is. Dunmer is awesome for a Templar, though probably less so than it is for dragon knight. Breton has cost reduction albeit very weakly, and spell resistance which fits nicely with a healer build. Argonian is obvious with its massive boost to any incoming heals. Really anything works though.US/AD - Dodge Hopper - Vet Imperial Templar | US/AD - Goj-ei-Raj - Vet Argonian Nightblade

BloodStorm✭✭✭Altmer
True but altmer have the most magicka recovery as well. Also more elemental damage. With new changes to blazing shield which gains magicka regen while activated as well it is the better option for spamming. Altmer is the best race in tamriel, although breton second .Now if we go lore wise no race is even comparable to altmer.Not even debatable.Breton has 10% max magicka as well as 3% cost reduction. Once the spell penetration thing is sorted the extra spell resist will be nice.

Fruitmass✭✭✭✭AltmerAs a healing temp your gonna want a large magica pool with as much magica regen and cost reduction as possible. So it really is a close tie between Breton and Altmer for top spot.
That being said I rolled Altmer because no matter how much I try I can't for the life of me get a Breton character to NOT look like a giant man baby.

Noisivid✭✭✭✭Bretonbreton, but i play as an altmer because they have superior blood.
I've always thought that Altmer blood tasted a bit too vinegary and bitter. Still, it is better than Argonian "blood". Dunmer have a nice kick like spiced wine. Nords? might as well just go to the pub and get the mead direct.
(Bretons are better, just to keep it on topic)

✭ImperialI play Altmer. It's good for healing and magicka based builds but if I had a chance to change my race, I'd pick Imperial because of the passives.
