Khajiiti and magicka-based viability

CaptainVenom · November 2017

Khajiiti are awesome, we have to agree. What would be even more awesome? Khajiiti Mages.

However, their racial skills are not mage-friendly. A magicka-based character can't benefit from any of those passive skills. But there's a simple change that would make them interesting for magic: Carnage granting spell critical chance as well. I mean, some mages run The Thief as their mundus. If Carnage could give Khajiiti spell critical alongside weapon critical, they could pick another mundus boon such as The Mage that would compensate for not having Gift Of Magnus passive (Breton, Altmer) or Dynamic/Resist Flame (Dunmer).

What you guys think? Also ZOS please take a look at this! Thanks!

Unless you're going for the very top end DPS it doesn't matter too much really.

Racial passive are great for pure min/max and optimisation but don't stop you doing any of the games content. If you care about the former then you're probably not going to play half the races any way.

I play a Khajiit Sorcherer, Luciana DON-Dar, Lvl31 cp432, im not quite sure where she goes but she kicks [snip], she uses DW and Bow, the new CWC set Mad Tinkerer looks awesome for this. I use points Half/half, Stam and Mag and have 2 pets active, tried destrostaff as second, she is better with Bow, could think off using her as Tank when she is on Lvl50. She uses Medium armour but works fine plus, for lvl 1 light, 1 heavy

IMO there is a huge breadth of play between being a min-maxer focusing entirely on killing that skelington dummy asap, and being a potato who doesnt know what racial traits are.

You dont need more than a dozen or so braincells to recognize that khajiit have 0 bonuses to magery, ie why there are so few magicka khajiit.

There's a tiny cluster of people at one end of the spectrum who have managed to make a top-tier DPS khajiit, there is a tiny cluster of people at the other end of the spectrum who already make magicka potato khajiit. Giving khajiit a racial bonus to something magical would serve the huge swath of the playerbase inbetween those two tiny special interest groups.

Like most things in this game you are forced to choose what you don't want to play whether it's play style, armor sets, skills, or races and the answer to everything is well you just can't do end game content. Not like any of that matters in any MMO ever. It's just the end game /shrug. Just accept that 3/4 of the armor sets, 3/4 of the skills, and 80%~ or so of the races are completely worthless for whatever you are trying to do whether the items is made for the intents and purposes you plan to use it on or not it will always be working as intended.

I honestly think that spell crit added to khajiit could be interesting. I don't personally play them, but a crit chance increase I don't think would be too busted as to make Khajiit masters of everything, but could still add to the variety of them.

As @Turelus said, don't overly fret your race unless you are min/max for the top 1%.

My Bosmeri templar healer does not hold the fact that most healers can't dodge/block as well as she can against them. Nor does she tease them for being bigger targets than she.
