    so he ran away?
    so what? how the HELL does that make them overpowered?

    By the God's if it's something you dont like or something that bothers you then by ALL means destroy it and remove it and nerf it from eso!

    You mean what you postulate in every topic concerning sorcerers?

    Ironic.

    And this is why a sensible, intelligent developer doesn't pay a whit of attention to their forums when it comes to balancing.

    A near zero value of posts will understand what balance is, and a close enough number to that won't even grok the concept of counters. A good system of PvP is built upon counters, not nerfs. It's companies who're horrifically bad at balance who've propagandised players into yelling 'nerf this!' and 'nerf that!' without any awareness of how that'll actually affect the game. They don't even care about how it'll affect PvE, when they clearly don't play it. I mean, absolutely, ruining casual PvE has always done so well for an online game's long term prospects, eh?

    Sigh.

    Actually a good dev would not simply dismiss things, they'd simply decide whether a suggestion or complaint has any merit or not, plus nerfs are a useful tool when it comes to balance. So ironically your post is exactly the sort of thing that should be dismissed.

    its not orcs- its the swift jewellery that are making DK's and Templars faster than sorcs and night blades. now they have the healing/tankiness from their class- PLUS theyre fast as hell. well done ZOS- another bumbling decision with no foresight or awareness.

    Needs to happen. Everyone is running around as an orc just for that which doesn't even make sense lorewise. Now with the trait swift and immovable pots its nearly impossible to catch anyone, Elder Runs Online is what this game will be called soon. Before people used LoS to PvP, now there's really no need for that.

    So please, nerf Orc.

    And for all the orc fanboi's rdy to disagree, you know it's why you picked that race in the first place cause yousa runner.

    Your tracking their is a speed cap right?

    Want to remove speed cap for werewolfs....

    Orcs stamsorcs in Battleground matches like chaosball or relicts are very annoying, it's nearly impossible to catch them. I was even thinking about using root poisons lol. But I don't think they should be nerfed, we already have speed cap and this game had enough nerfs.

    Any 7 medium with major expedition WILL hit the speedcap of 200%, not just orcs. Any race, as long as you have 7 medium, the passives and major expedition.

    Speed was nerfed back in Morrowind, then halfway reintroduced behind Summer-set craft traits.

    It’s never been limited to a race.

    Speed has a hardcap of 200% currently. Base speed is 100%, 60/60 mount with rapids is 267%. Pre-speedcap max unmounted speed was 322%.

    Coming from someone spending months upon months on making a speedrunner just to get it hardcapped.

    NO.

    When you choose a race you take the good with the bad. To get the speed bonus, you sacrifice other benefits like regen or resource pool. It's a trade off. Maybe you ought to consider playing an orc.

    You don't need to be Orc to run fast.

    You do need to be Argonian though to swim fast.

    I don't know about that, I can swim pretty fast if I activate Rapid Maneuver before jumping into the water... not as fast as an Argonian... but still faster than normal. ;)

    Advice:

    If someone is running away from you in PVP, don't follow them.
