PTS 1.6 racial bonuses

With the change into 1.6 I feel like the racial bonuses have become very different in what is good and what is bad for instance the imperial is amazing now while bosmer seems to have gotten even worse. I'm sure most people picked their race to best compliment their build but now seeing as though everything is changing, is something being done to bring the "bad"racials up to scratch?

    IS there a list of the racial changes anywhere that people have seen?

    I don't think anything but argonian has changed but the removal of soft caps has made some races just flat out better than others by a large margin.

    ZOS have announced no racial changes at all yet, nor have they committed to making ANY .. all they've said is they're looking at them and have solicited ideas, IF they choose to make any all they've said of 'when' is that they could perhaps do so before 1.6 goes live but that's FAR from being anything like a commitment.

    If the PTS does contain changes they've gone entirely un-announced by ZOS.

    It doesn't even matter on if they changed racials yet or didn't. Everything else has changed so if you really thought out your race based on how you intended to build your character before; it could be all for nothing now.

    Would like a 1 time free racial respec. Then they can sell the option in the crown store afterwards. Sounds like win win for both us and ZOS.

    That's basically what I meant, didn't think they had changed but everything else has now.

    Argonians got a racial passive changed as well. Logged in last night to see the passive Amphibious changed to "Increases swimming speed by 50% and whenever you drink a potion you gain 6% of your Max Health, Magicka, and Stamina. Used to be +15% potion effectiveness. I'm still not sure if the new change is more powerful or not for stat potions, but extra utility from speed, invisibility, weapon/spell damage and crit, are all gone. Relatedly, NBs got their potion effectiveness passive (+30%) taken away and replaced with one that gives 8 ultimate (at level 2/2) when you drink a potion--worthless. Pretty *** pissed they completely changed an interesting and unique (not to mention, NOT OP) synergy with one of the under-utilized races.

    official statement in the 1.6 patch notes was "no changes to racials yet, its on the list for a future patch".
    except for stealth changes, it seems..

    At least here NB's cloak working well. Also, change from stealth always crit (lol).

    I have played a bosmer since early access and after regretting it for months i am having a laugh when farming the Darkshade Caverns boss in the poison phase. Never used stealth yet but if they dont nerf it, it might come in handy for the pickpocketing. But if they move stealth to high elf i can always roll an alt to be a thief...
    Beesting, Bosmer Magica DK, AD EU, crafter
    Slager, Dunmer Magica DK, DC EU, pvp
    Farmer, Dunmer Magica DK, AD EU, trials build

    Every major patch looks like the end of the world but somehow i just cannot stop playing.

    This all makes me laugh... not at you, but at our community reps.

    We were told of 60+ pages of patch notes. Oh... we have to format them for typos.

    And we got this.

    My nightblade argonian just became more capable of surviving... I hadn't gone full potion build, though. She was always a sub-optimal archer build that was fun to play, but probably my least effective character.

    I'm guessing you were going with cooldown-reducing enchants, and relying on the combination of that and your racial to keep crit potions and the like up constantly in combat?
