What should I choose? Both I like the same, but Orc run faster, I like because in Cyrodiil is an advantage, but Imperials have more hp and stamina... is a very difficult decision...

    The run faster is useless. Imperial is master race.

    Yep. That is why ZOS put em behind the paywall.

    Are you seriously weighing the strongest health and stamina racials in the game against... running speed? :grimace:

    For the clear mage/healer it is useless race.

    Orc. for the run speed.

    No tank is harder to kill than one you cannot catch.




    jokes aside:

    it's quite sad btw that for basically every stamina build, the race hidden behind a paywall is the better race.

    Especially when you think that this game is (even tho for not much longer) a P2P game.

    Go Imperial. I'm an orc and just want the extra stats.

    The description in the character creation screen doesn't tell you what the stats are, just a vague description like, increased heavy armor and run speed. But after making an orc I can tell you there is no real good reason to play at 6% stats with a small run speed increase when you can have a flat 10%, all the heavy armor increase does is level it up faster.

    I like orc. I prefer the 30% health recovery in combat.

    actually very real.

    in terms of pure tanking sustain, regeneration is better than base pools.

    having over 1k stam regen as a tank means you will never lose stam on just blocking over time with gear.

    I play every class in every situation. I love them all.

    They also have strong charge damage. I dont' think Orc is awful, I like mine.

    I have to say it's pretty nice with all the regen. And with my Stamina so high along with the regen I'm putting out respectable DPS as well on my Bosmer Werewolf Nightblade Tank when swapping from my tank sword and board to duel wield. Not to mention my Bosmer poison resist to offset the werewolf vulnerability :smiley: .

    I didn't plan to build out my character this way to min/max but I got pretty lucky with all the changes since launch.

    So stamina regen is better than stamina pool?

    You still need a size able pool but in combat regen makes a huge difference.
