Sure. Why not. I'd agree to this to be added to the crown store just so that I never have to see someone whining about this in the forums again. ZOS, allow it! Where do I sign the petition?

^This.

Personally I find the concept of race changing repugnant, but seeing as some useful person creates a new thread about it on pretty much a weekly basis I would argue in favour of a free one-time race change if that really did mean that I would never have to encounter this topic on the boards. Ever again. Ever. Again.

I mean the last thread on this subject had activity up until 2 days ago. Really?!

Since factions are tied to races, changing races could theoretically change your faction. That being said changing factions would mean having to give up all experience in you main zone as it would become a Vet zone.

Not if you have the Imperial edition.

Imperial Edition just allows you to play an Imperial, it does not allow you to play any race in any faction.

So, basically you want to implement a change that requires everyone to have the Explorer Pack Pre-Order bonus? Because just having the Imperial edition allows you to play an Imperial, but your still race limited by factions.

For all the time you have been asking for this, you could have rolled several characters and gotten them to VR14 rather than waiting around for them to fix something you can fix yourself (by rolling another character)

No race changes. Never. Unless you want everyone in this game to be all Dunmer or Imperial. Instead, racials need to be balanced. The emphasis should be on diversity. Let's take our head out of the sand please on the issue of +% to stat racial bonuses being unbalanced in 1.6. Some races are flat out better than others. *Cough*Imperial*Cough*.

No nerfs, just buff up the other races please.

It still seems ZOS is on the fence about offering race changes either one time free of charge or in the Crown Store. It is ridiculous to me because the character I created does not exist anymore with the imminent release of 1.6. Every advantage I had as a stamina based Sorcerer is now gone (after getting progressively nerfed throughout the entire existence of the game) and to make things even worse, stamina Sorcs were offered relatively nothing compared to other classes. Below is a list of all the stamina morphs/passives that each class received that will benefit a stamina build.

DK changes that affect stamina builds

Searing Strike

Unstable Flames (morph): This ability now scales off Stamina and Attack Power and costs Stamina. Damage is mitigated by your target’s melee defense statistics.

Fiery Breath

Burning Breath (morph): This ability will now scale off of stamina and weapon power, and is mitigated by your target’s melee defense statistics. This ability now applies the Major Fracture debuff to your target.

Inferno

Flames of Oblivion (morph): This ability now provides the same effect as Inferno, as well as providing the Major Savagery (that is weapon crit) buff while active.

Molten Weapons

This ability will no longer buff allies. Instead, activating Molten Weapons will increase your heavy attack damage by 40% for 7 seconds. The duration increases with each additional rank.

Igneous Weapons (morph): Using a heavy attack while this ability is active will increase its duration by one second.

Molten Armaments (morph): This ability now increases the extra damage against low health targets.

Slightly reduced the cost of Molten Weapons and its morphs.

Earthen Heart

Mountain’s Blessing: This passive now also grants all allies within 30 meters the buff Minor Brutality for 10 seconds at Rank I, or 20 seconds at Rank II.

NB changes that affect stamina builds

Assassins Blade

Killer’s Blade (morph): This is now a stamina-based ability. The heal from this ability will now be applied if your target dies within 2 seconds of the ability being used, regardless of who killed the target.

Teleport Strike

Ambush: This ability now uses stamina instead of magicka, and applies the Minor Berserk buff on the next attack.

Mark Target

This ability now grants the Major Breach and Major Fracture buffs.
Removed the penalty from this ability.
This ability can now be cast on any target.
Reduced the cost of this ability by approximately 50%, and reduced the duration to 20 seconds.
Piercing Mark (morph): The duration of this ability now scales with ability ranks up to a maximum of 30 seconds.
Reaper’s Mark (morph): This ability now grants the Major Berserk buff for 8 seconds after the target is killed.

Veiled Strike

Surprise Attack (morph): This morph is now a stamina-based ability, now applies the Major Fracture debuff, and will no longer reduce your target’s armor if they dodge the initial attack.

Drain Power

The damage caused by Drain Power no longer scales with the number of targets hit. Instead, you will receive a Major Brutality buff when damaging at least one target.
Power Extraction (morph): This ability now scales off weapon damage and stamina instead of magicka and spell damage. The damage has also been increased by 10%.

Templar changes that affect stamina builds

Puncturing Strikes

Biting Jabs (morph): This ability now scales off stamina and weapon power, and now also provides the Major Savagery buff.

Piercing Javelin

Binding Javelin (morph): This ability now scales off stamina and weapon power.

Backlash

Power of Light (morph): This ability now applies the Minor Fracture debuff to your target, and the damage caps are derived from your maximum stamina.

Aedric Spear

Burning Light: The damage from this passive is now derived from your highest stats (stamina or magicka based).

Aedric Spear

Balance Warrior: Increased the weapon damage from this passive to 3% at Rank I, and 6% at Rank II.

Sorc changes that affect stamina builds

Bound Armor

Bound Armaments (morph): This ability now costs Stamina instead of Magicka, gives you a bonus to stamina instead of magicka, and increases the damage done by heavy attacks.

Dark Exchange

Dark Deal (morph): This ability now converts magicka into health and stamina.

Overload

Overload and Power Overload will now properly scale their damage off Weapon Damage and Stamina in the event that they are higher than Spell Power and Magicka.

If you read through all of the above lists, you may have noticed that DK got 2 attacks scaled on stamina and various stamina build buffs, NB got 4 attacks scaled on stamina and various stamina build buffs, Templar got 3 attacks scaled on stamina and various stamina build buffs, while the Sorc got only ONE ultimate and zero basic attacks scaled on stamina and only one stamina buff that comes in the form of near useless toggle. Bound Armaments may find its way into some builds for sure, but it is tough to stomach using 2 slots for it. Dark Deal is totally and completely useless. There is no use for a channel in melee range without a way to quickly create distance. As for the Overload change, I think all ultimates should scale on stamina+weap or magicka + spell anyways and I'm surprised any class ultimates are forcing people to go into a magicka spec. Overall I am very underwhelmed with what was offered to the stamina sorc.

In addition to what we were given (or lack thereof) in 1.6, stamina Sorcs have also lost the only benefits they ever had in the game prior to 1.6. The only thing a stamina Sorc had going for it was that it could stack weapon dmg higher than any other class. With the new buff system, Critical Surge has become completely redundant with other cheaper and longer lasting skills like Rally. Also in 1.6.3, stamina Sorc lost the 10% cost reduction in the Storm Calling tree, which is a HUGE nerf for Crit Surge costs, Bolt Escape costs, and Lightning Form costs, which just happen to be three of the best and only Sorc abilities that a stamina build will use. Crit Surge was already about 40% or so of my magicka bar as a stamina Sorc in 1.6.2 and now it will be even worse.

The character I rolled on the first day of early access was a stamina build that would not have a nerfed streak that cost more with subsequent casts and cost more in general. The character I rolled on the first day of early access had a significant weapon damage bonus over every other class. The character I rolled on the first day of early access didn't have a internal cooldown on the one ability that synergized well with stamina, Critical Surge. When ZOS changes up a skill big time, they give you your ability points back and let you decide again if you want that skill. My class and choice of going stamina (which is why I rolled khajit for the extra crit for crit surge values) has completely changed, and I deserve an opportunity to change my race because of this.
