Not finding any builds using imperial as race...

Archaegeo · May 2015

Even though people say in many places its a great race, I am not finding any current builds that use imperial.

Anyone able to point to any? Or has imperial fallen from favor? Wanted to make a snooty imperial before the city comes.

Deltiagaming.com has good information about builds.

Imperials are all about Stamina and Health in the passives, and now that Stamina is viable, building any Stamina character on an Imperial is going to be good. Not the only way, but powerful all the same.

Yeah,

I like Deltia's site, and am working with some of his builds, but none of his current (1.6 or later) builds use an imperial, nor any you see at Tameriel or here.

Hence why I was curious

Also check the theorycrafting forums on tamrielfoundry.com - there are many builds there for all classes where Imperial is the preferred or at least a highly recommended race.

Imperial is the best race for tanking. You don't need a build specifically designed for your race.

With meta leaning a bit towards pure offensive and stamina recovery right now, many players seem to prefer redguard or bosmer for stamina builds. Guessing that's why It's not always the writers choice in newer guides?

But Imperial is still great for it, those attribute bonuses are badass. Also top race for tanking.

Biggest strength of imperial is really how flexible they are. Jack of all trades. Passives that's contributes towards any type of build. So when ZoS keeps redirecting imbalance(like every major patch) between heavy tanks, magicka and stamina builds, you dont have to worry as an imperial. You can rock any build in the game and still have strong passives boosting it.

You will never be that breton NB, trying to stamblade. You will never suffer the frustration of a khajiit sorcerer. Because everyone needs a big chunk of extra health and a bit of extra stamina (specially in PvP), even magicka builds.
