Racial Passive improvements (Imperial City)

Nerouyn · July 2015

Do we have any idea what this might be? It's awfully vague.

Personally I've never been a fan of racial passives. Too many obvious synergies leading to eg. an over-abundance of altmer sorcerors and dunmer dragon knights.

So in my view "improvements" would be tossing them out the window. But I doubt that's what they mean. I've googled but not been able to find further details.

No they've making the races even more role focused; which is completely against their "play however you want" slogan. They should really make it so every class has something for survivability and DPS. If they want to make some certain races better at taking or DPS, so be it. Just don't devoid DPS from a race entirely like they did with the Nords.

Not the news I was hoping for obviously but thank you. I figured there might have been hints of what they were planning which players would have picked up on.

A friend and I are playing GW2 and ESO at the moment to see if either might be a good long-term home. I wouldn't say buffing racial passives would rule ESO out for us but it's disappointing.

They already explained the racial passive improvements? You should just read the whole article...

For the lazy:

Argonian: improved potion
Nord: more HP
Khajit: more crit
Orc: 4% more raw melee damage instead of 6% more charge damage

This is all they changed, or did I fail to read myself?

Nords get more HP. So you can put more attributes in mag/stam. More mag/stam = more damage.

On the ESO live a few weeks ago they said:
Khajiit = increase the melee crit % chance (-_- give me back some of the crit damage I had at launch please)
Nord = more HP
Argonian = more resources when using a potion (/facepalm)
Orc = replace the extra dmg to charges with +4% melee dmg (finally a cool change)

This, copied and pasted into pages and pages of "news" stories about the DLC provides no details.

They give Orcs a raw damage boost and then Argonians a boost to potions. If I was more paranoid I would think they did that to spite me.
