Questions in regards to the most rare class/race combinations...

I'm attempting to make some rare class/race combos without completely throwing away racial passives. Can you provide some answers to my questions?

1. For a Dragonkight....would High Elf or Dark Elf be the better option?

2. For a Sorcerer...would Argonian get use out of his "increase healing received" racial passive? Would Argonian make a better Templar or Sorcerer?

3. If I used a Khajiit for a Sorcerer instead of Argonian...would melee be viable option?

    1. Dark Elf DK is pretty common and is the go to for fire based DPS
    2. Argonians don't make much of a better anything. I'm currently experimenting with an Argonian Nightblade with a focus on siphon to see how this passive affects the build.
    3. Melee would be your better option as khajiits have increased weapon crit passive.

    If you really wanna go off the walls, try an orc sorcerer.

    I don't know. For rare I think you sort of have to go off the wall a bit.

    I am playing a dual wielding Imperial Templar right now with mainly magicka build and I am loving her!!
    Far too many characters to list any more.

    Argonian or Redguard Sorc comes to mind too.

    I do want to inform you that just be aware that changes to the racials will be on the way, and will be part of a huge update in the near future. When? soon™

    Orc Sorcerer = Thrall
    Nord Socerer = Bear Shaman

    Might be interesting to go Redguard Sorcerer and try for a stamina build. Not sure what THAT would be like.

    Are racial changes really on the way? Can you give sources?

    The racial passives are set to be "tweaked" as mentioned in the past Ask us Anything And Twitch Streams. I think "changed" gives a bit too much drama to the possibilities. Specific mentions were Argonians and Orcs. They are the rarest facials Racials played.

    To the OP: either Argonians as a DragonKnight ( seen many night blades) or an Orc as a Templar. Now that would be Interesting to see. With the right gear and Champion Points, they might even be viable. Good luck.

    There's a fine line here between a 'rare' build, & something that's just downright gimped.

    You say you don't want to just throw racials away... well there are certain class / race combo's where you will be doing just that. You'll be rolling a combo where the race has absolutely nothing to give to the class. EG Orc sorcerer.

    Argonians, Orcs, Nords..... be very careful with these races.... the racials are just really not up to scratch so you would have to have a very specific build planned before hand....

    Orc sorcerer is a throw away? A throw away??? Have you ever heard of Thrall? Leader of the mighty Horde! I bet you played Alliance...I can tell from your tone that you were a cocky night elf hunter

    Aye... that sprinting speed etc & in combat health regen is awesome on a magicka sorc! :D

    I'm not a min/maxer by any stretch.... just warning of the line between an unusual build, and something thats totally gimped that will end up being a hinderance at end game. It would be really annoying for the OP if they spent loads of time levelling a toon to V14 & then found it was useless for what they wanted to play.

    There's lots of fun combo's, not just the usual Dunmer DK , Altmer sorc, Breton Templar, Bosmer NB.
