Hey guys, fairly new to the game, highest level toon is 40 (Kahjit NB), love the NB but a friend of mine and myself want to PVP together, and he is in the EP. So my question is what should I go with for a race in EP, also any links to good PVP/PVE builds for a stam NB would be appreciated too!

P.S. I have imperial race aswell!

    The old rule was pve; kajitt
    Pvp; wood elf
    Idk if that's changed hard to choose because of campaign testing
    Aussie lag is real!

    I feel any stamina-based race can be used for a stamblade. If you're going to gank, khajiit or wood elf for the stealth damage bonus. Khajiit also have a crit bonus. I'm sure an orc, redguard, nord, or imperial can make a decent stamblade. Argonians maybe can too with the potion rebate passive and how NBs get ultimate from potions.

    That's what I was looking for, thank you!

    From a pure DPS perspective go for Khajiit (pve), but Redguard is for me the to go race. The ressource management is so much easier even if you still learning the class/build and the damage gap between both is kinda small.

    Well, your best choices are all in other alliances: Khajiit, Redguard, and Bosmer.

    So given you want to play an EP race, I'd say break out that Imperial. Imperial is a great race for Stamina regardless (10% Stam and 12% health, plus Red Diamond adds some bonus healing), so it would be a good option in any alliance; moreso because Nord, Dunmer, and Argonian are all generally less useful than Imperial for a Stamblade.

    Having said that, both Nord and Argonian wouldn't be garbage for Stamina builds - just perhaps not as ideal as Imperial.
    You've played with the best... now play with the rest!

    Racial optimization is a min/max concept. Unless you intend to gear you character to the teeth and participate in tougher content, your race isn't a major concern (play how you want). So, given that the "ideal" racial choices for stamblade are out of your reach, the next best thing you can do stat-wise is Imperial. Although, if you decide one day that you want to play a magblade instead, Dunmer would be the ideal selection there, so keep that in mind.

    I have 10 nightblades, all but one of which are stamblades. Khajiit can do more burst damage, but I tend to need more resource management. Redguards and Bosmer but give great resource management but tend not to do quite as much dps has their feline counterparts. Imperials are also a nice generic race as they come with the additional health and stamina.

    Magblades are completely different beasts and you'd go Dunmer, Breton or High Elf depending on your build.

    I have to ask - Why do you have 10 nightblades? :-O

    That also piqued my curiosity
