    It's the flavor passive like Argonian swim speed or Bosmer fall damage reduction, it's just there for fun.

    Tell that to Altmer and Bretons.

    Why increase frost and shock damage when most dark elves are only going to be using flame anyway? And can someone tell me the value of reducing lava damage by 50%? Does it at least apply to skills like lava whip, or just lava on the ground?

    With Vigor and a Major Buff you can easily walk on lava with literally no damage even as a vampire (if you put 100cp into elemental resistance)

    Is it strange if i race changed into a dark elf simply because my high elf was entirely to tall?

    Good buff seeing they didn't lower fire attack buff, how can anyone complain about this?

    I actually like using a lighting staff over the fire staffs, I have been using my sorcs lighting staff on my Dark Elf mag NB for the last few months, now its even better...

    As for the lava thing, well I um lol, don't know, slightly useful I guess...

    reduce lava damage:- well there are certain dungeons out there with a lot lava in them, maybe that one that ppl farm valkyn skoria in for instance and that passive might help make it easier. shock damage well yes dunmer can be sorc and there's afew skills that use shock damage, this increase helps bring dunmer sorc inline with altmer sorc. I hope zeni have done the math so they balanced now.

    Because Dunmer is the master race and they wanted to be sure the stats were buffed accordingly. Haha.

    Seriously though, this pretty much does make Dunmer the go to magic race across the board, at least for PVE DPS. A traditional sorc might do a bit better with Altmer, but I bet its pretty negligible. If you are going for DPS on a magic DK, Templar, or NB, dunmer is the answer now. Fire Blockade is just too darn powerful.

    Seriously, I would really like some clarification on what 'Lava Damage reduction' actually means... @ZOS_RichLambert ?

    As a dunmer only player, this affects me.

    It means you take less damage to lava...

    Because not every dark elf will you fire staffs for various reason.

    They prefer electrically for sorc passive a, they use ice because they always thought ice staves were cool, and not mention RNG on any non crafted staff.

    Not to mention if buffs all three force pulse hits not just one.

    Not everyone is min maxer

    I use lightning on my DK in a very specific way. These buffs are amazing for my build. That being said I don't think they were necessary, dunmer was already very good.
