Stealthy stamina assassin

Thinking of going bow/2h (and maybe a little DW to unlock steel tornado); mainly PvE; going Nightblade; best racial choice? Redguard for regen and more stamina, khajit for stealth/weapon bonuses; or Bosmer for massive regen? Don't have imperial so that's not a choice. Any advice is appreciated

    I personally prefer kajiit for the stealth damage bonus.

    Bosmer is also a good in not better choice though.

    Really either Kajiit or Bosmer.

    I have a VR16 Khajiit and love it. That being said, if I could do it again I would go Bosmer (wood elf). They both have the "Stealthy" passive which is huge, and results in big hits out of stealth in PVE. Khajiits have the Crit Bonus which is nice, however, from what I have read it is currently bugged and not working.

    Even if it was working I think that you could get a respectable crit% with gear on a Bosmer, as well as a 3% max stam bonus, and crazy 21% regen.

    Orc and Redguard are both good for stamina builds. Alot of stamina and they hit hard, but they lack the "Stealthy" component. If PVE performance is a priority they may outperform Khajiit or Bosmer due to higher max stats. But if stealth is a priority in PVP, I'd go Bosmer.

    I have not tried with a Bosmer, but in my experience a Khajiit stamina nightblade is the ESO equivalent of driving a Ferrari. They are super fun for PvE, PvP, farming, grinding, stealing, whatever.

    For strictly PvE, I would personally not consider Khajiit or Bosmer. I would go redguard. You just arent going to be in stealth as much as you think, and even if you are, you can one-shot a lot of stuff with ambush without the sneaky passives. You will get more raw damage with redguard, and you get good sustain. Another very underrated class is Dunmer for a NB. That's your best bet if you want to swap between magic and stam, but not as good for pure stam.

    If for a PvP build, then maybe a different story.

    As what was said before.

    Redguard or orc if all you do is pve.

    Bosmer or khajiit if you pvp.

    You never need to go into stealth in dungeons or trials, so the stealthy racial passive for Bosmer and Khajiit is pretty useless.

    In pvp, it's awesome.
