If only one race were to get a buff, which needs it the most?

    I think for every nerf, ZOS should buff two things. If they nerf a race, they should buff two others. Nerf an overperforming set? Buff two under-performing ones.

    Nord needs love more than any other right now, no question. Either a buff to their tanking passive to put them in the top 1-2 tier for BiS tank builds or more stam DPS-related passives to put them in line with red guard /imperial / orc.

    Khajiit
    I would say khajiit because they only have one useful passive and the rest are completely useless. 8% weapon crit is nice. But even that is overall weak without regen or max resource.

    Nord is also weak. Obviously.

    I loved my Nord PVE tank for awhile, because I could sustain resources, so Imperial and Argonian weren't necessary. So I went with damage mit. Now that ZOS feels the need to screw over sustain even more for tanks (block cost), I buckled and went to the dark side (Argonian). I like the new race, I just didn't want to have to. Everyone will now be Argonians with 8 sturdy...great diversification ZOS!

    I don't think any race really NEEDS a buff, but I voted Nord. Perhaps a bit more damage mit would help? Then you could choose between resources and damage mit. But as long as ZOS keeps f**king resources, all races have an issue.

    Is it just me, or should these 2 racials be switched?

    Khajiit - increases chance to successfully pickpocket by 5% (useful for alts + mains)
    Wood Elf - decreases fall damage taken by 10% (useful for alts + mains)

    We all know cats are good at falling and always land on their feet. Why aren't Khajiit? Is it because of the additional encumbrance from all their "acquired" loot??

    New class passive for Nords:

    Mead Frenzy - Your melee attacks have a 5% chance to pass a mug of mead to the opponent, causing their attacks to miss for 2 seconds.

    ;)

    Actually that's not bad..I'd change it a little though.

    Mead Frenzy - Your melee attacks do 5% more damage when a drink buff is active.

    I hopped right to Breton but jeez I didn't realize Nords had it so bad.

    Honestly they need some kind of physical damage buff, or maybe grant Minor Berserk for x seconds when an enemy dies within x meters with a x second cooldown

    to go with the Shout theme, call it "Battle Cry" and replace the health recovery with it. Frost Resistance isn't super useful yet but maybe in the future there will be more frost-heavy content for them to excel in.

    PVP, while is a part of the game is one of the least played parts of the game in terms of pve/pvp player ratio. It sucks when the majority of bosmer I see around are only pvp nightblades and a few of them that are not are deciding to pick bosmer for purely cosmetic reasons when other races outperform them in terms of dps.

    In this poll however I agree nords are the most needed to be balanced and I forget that nords are even in this game sometimes

    Nord definitely needs buffed way more than anyone else. They need buffs to even be useful and be in the discussion about whether or not they are strong enough to compete as this or that. Almost any other choice here is very arguable and usually comes down to people just wanting their fav race buffed or b/c they want a smidge more this or that to be feel better about how they measure up to a similar race (trait wise). But Nord, not even close.

    I wish they'd let you pick a passive without attaching it to race.

    Failing that, definitely Nords. Poor things.

    Breton and Nord are really the only two races where I have trouble coming up with a scenario where they would be the best or close to the best choice. Every other race has situations in which you can reasonably say, this race is BIS for this type of content/build.

    Unless of course you consider RPing as the Naked Nord valid in game content...

    Khajiit aren't really cats.They come from mer and were given the appearance of cats similar to how orcs/orsimer and dunmer IIRC were given their appearances. I think bosmer were given the fall damage reduction because they traditionally live in trees ie. high up ie. falling. Khajiit have a natural affinity for acrobatic athleticism and stealth which maybe would help with stealing unnoticed.

    It's quite obviously Nord. They're entirely health focused in a game where that means nothing. They should be tanks but the game doesn't scale off health like it did originally. When they changed all the powers to be stamina or magicka, they should have buffed Nord too.

    Not even remotely questionable. Nords. Don't even really like nords but their passives are by far and away the worst.

    They don't even make good tanks, their erstwhile purpose if you look at their skills. I do love my plus sized, super-derpy looking Nord lady character. I just don't take her outside of Cyrodiil where at least she can derp around with a little bit of purpose.

    The more I think about it the more I like the idea of making Nords kings of frost damage. It makes sense with them coming from the icy realm of Skyrim. I'm just not sure how or if this could even work if frost is always considered magicka-based. Well, one way would be to convert Nords to have both max magicka/stamina similar to how it is done with the Dunmer. The Dunmer focus on flame resist and flame damage (+7%), Nords already have cold resist and could focus on frost damage (+7%). How awesome would it be to see Nords dual wielding or 2Hing with frost enchants while casting skills from the Winter's Embrace line as a Warden. Hmm, somebody smarter than me could probably figure out a way to make this work - I might be turning Nords OP. :D

    (although after all this time at the bottom rung, maybe they deserve a turn to shine)

    This, say they is in the same setting as Nords in the continuous war against sustain, anything outside of sustain or max resource is pretty pointless, replace Argonians bonuses with doing +50% damage while swimming :)
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Would have say nord too, but imo difference between best tanking race and nord is much smaller than difference between best stamina race in pve and bosmer. And even in PVP they dont really shine. Its one setup (stamina) on one class (nightblade) in one utility (ganking) that allows bosmer not be the least used stamina race.

    Hmm, I'd say on Magblade as dps, they're not that bad especially since CP trees came in, same with Templar (cause both of these classes deal way less elemental damage then sorc, warden and dk)
