Players always just ask for buffs, but I get nervous about what ZOS will make of that. If they perceive something as undervalued, they may be tempted to rework it altogether.To everyone getting defensive about their Nord characters, OP is asking for buffs for your race! How is that a bad thing?
As someone with a Nord DK tank I agree, their passives need a buff somewhere.

You don't HAVE to be an Argonian to tank, it's just easier/better. I mean we all of someone who does a good job as a Khajiit which isn't even a "tank race".
OP's point goes a little further than that, though. Presumably OP wasn't saying that in fact no player tanks on a Nord -- obviously people tank on every race. The point is that there's no gameplay-based reason to tank on a Nord. Other than roleplay or not wanting to buy a race-change token, why be a Nord? They offer no advantage that isn't outclassed by other races.
The problem with Nords is that that's true no matter what role or spec you're going for -- PVP bruiser, PVE tank, PVE DPS, PVP support, PVE healer, etc. It's always better not to be a Nord. That suggests something about their racial passives needs to be adjusted.

Lore checks out and would help them tanking as it would give a similar resource boost but in a unique way.

Nords... For when you want to look bad ass and cool as *** ...
There is no other reason ... The frost reduction passive needs to be switched ... Not enough cold damage in game except maybe in PvP against a warden to justify the passive being present
Nords should have increased health and stamina recovery and bonus to physical weapon damage on 2 handers

Nord is fine and no buffs required. People are not using it. 6 percent damage mitigation is monster. Nord warden with heavy armor is virtually overpowered and hit like a truck.
Only race need some love is imperial.
10 percent chance to heal 4% health for melee attacks ? LOL. Thats why no one is using imperial. Nord wins over imperial on tanking or PVP any day.
I think ZOs purposefully making imperials under performing to make sure people not complaining " pay to win ".

That frost passive is there, because it is lore - Nord are said to be exceptionally frost resistant. If anything regarding this passive it should be buffed not be removed - simply because of lore.

Lore can kiss my rear. It's a useless passive.That frost passive is there, because it is lore - Nord are said to be exceptionally frost resistant. If anything regarding this passive it should be buffed not be removed - simply because of lore.

Perhaps even consider giving them a boost to frost enchants. Something. Being only the third best race at any role in the game is just bad.
