Umm what great Khajit or "cat wizard " is even out there from any lore LOL But its the way it is due to cat like physical reflexes The Devs actually got this correct

Uhm hello?

J'zargo from Skyrim, hes the strongest non player magicka user ever to exist in tamriel, excluding dieties or other immortals. J'zargo has no max level, and will level alongside the player forever.


Also why is this even a argument?? WTF give khajits spell crit!!!

Spell crit and weapon crit cant be used effectively together in the same build. So theres no argument to withhold it.
Saying that altmer should get magicka AND stamina if khajit gets spell and weapon crit is the dumbest thing i ever heard.
A Stamina build can benefit from magicka a hell lot more than a magicka build benefitting from weapon crit (which is not at all)

Im playing a magicka sorc khajit, I know it doesnt make sense to most people but i simply refuse to play another race or go stamina. In Skyrim I was always playing a Khajit summoner/illusionist.

I havent had the crit racial on khajit since I think patch 1.3 or something.

Critty for mah Kitty!

Bumping this!
I wonder if it will ever happen thou...

critty-critty-critty-cat!
Like.

Khajiit weapon crit comes from their claws so spell crit makes no sense hell general weapon damage is equally dumb it should be Melee damage only. Just saying.

Well I dont use my claws when swinging my swords either...
Also in Skyrim khajit racial was to increase unarmed damage, that made sense, this does not.

The crit passive actually comes from being a stealth oriented race and keen observation, and that does NOT exclude spellcasting.

This one is not sure how the magicky stuffs works, but this one knows he is good with the pointy ones. Khajiit are not known for their skills with Magicka. It's a no from this one

Khajiit should learn more about their kind, this one knows many great wizards in Elseweyr many of them are great priests on the temples of Jone and Jode.

We should convert this thread into a 'bring back softcaps' thread, since that is the core of the problem, here.

Bosmer is in the same boat, being optimized for only stamina builds. When softcaps were in the game, I could cap out on mana and spell damage, and then have decent stamina because of my racials. A magicka oriented race would cap out even sooner, and have more spare resources to dump into health or stam or whatever they wanted. See how this would make race choice a little less important?

Bring back softcaps, then players will not feel like their race is useless.

Nope, soft caps would make everything homogeneous. And to be honest, every race specializing in everything will just make race a cosmetic choice. While Khajiits doing spell crit is logical upto some extent, getting a flat 8% spell crit would make them the strongest damage class in the game. Already the weapon crit passive is the highest damage increasing racial passive in the game.

Khajiit racial to also give Spell Crit, because it only being useful for Stamina builds is unbalanced?

Oh, well in that case I'm sure you'd not object to my Argonian's 9% more healing taken also being 9% more healing done, because that would be more useful for a healer as opposed to a tank.

Or my Orc's 30% health regeneration increase also applying to magicka, because Orcs have no magicka boosting racials.

Much like Champion Points, I think Racial bonuses need a complete overhaul; some are just too powerful for how many skill points they cost, especially when compared to some of the class passives we have. The bonuses are large enough that they pidgeon-hole certain races into certain roles, so much so that I can't remember the last time I saw a stamina-based Altmer or a magicka-based Redguard, and that's a real disappointment.

So I'd say... Rather than say "I play this race, please buff their racials!", we should be asking for the devs to rethink their stance on ALL the racial passives in the game.

Hey, we could also give Argonians spellcrit instead! Nice for healing and some dps (yea yea i know...)

or change the weapon / spell crit bonus to something like x % will be unresistable damage (and not requiring stealth).

With so many ways of negating any critical damage in the game, and stealth - outside of pure ganking in PvP and a complete no go for PvE) some way to bypass armor / shield due to that extra agility and superior eyesight would go a long way to make Khajiit a viable option again. With the current meta they sure are only for fun, i.e. on some raids you are getting thrown out just because of it, even if that means 11 people having to wait half an hour for some sorc to show up.

Also to add

Argonians have no lore to support that, unlike Khajiit.

Argonians DO have lore support to that.
Their base Stats from previous TES Games increase Magicka based stuff, too.

Male Argonians arent that great with Magicka and are more of Warrior Types,
while Female Argonians on the other hand are good with Magicka.

But yeah, main reason I mentioned spellcrit is, having better healing anyway, not with damage as main point.

You really think Khajiit is THE dominant stamina race? It isn't bad but I'd take Redguard or Orc over Khajiit. Anyways this proposed change wouldn't buff stam Khajiits at all so that hardly matters.

I won't get into the min/max of it here, I don't want to derail your thread. Like you said it doesn't apply to your request.

Khajiit has two passives that do close to nothing for a magicka build and I don't think adding spell crit will make them OP at all and they will clearly still be a stamina race.

I have to respectfully disagree here. There are certain builds, where this could potentially be OP. For example hybrid DW/Bow builds with lots a DOTs. I'd say be patient as you seem to be valid candidate for a free race change if/when they are available.

It just seems to me it's a lot of development/balancing work to test and you would be better off in the long run with a race change to a magic based race anyways.

I'm curious, which DW/bow DoTs would be buffed by spell crit?

I'M curious, which Hybrid builds are anywhere near strong, not to mention over-powered?
