    Imperial
    If I was making my stamblade now, I would never make her khajiit :'( My first choice would be Imperial; second choice would be Nord or Orc; third choice would be Redguard or Bosmer; fourth place is divided between Argonian or Dunmer. Just my preferences, based on their passives. For visuals, I would make either khajiit or argonian :smiley:

    Khajiit
    Best PVE DPS is Redgaurd.

    I think Khajiit is a pretty close second to the point where Khajiit can still pull ahead sometimes.

    Redguard
    Currently the best stam race in the game for melee. Has the best melee sustain in the game and in melee is where stam gets it's good dps. For ranged it would be bosmer, but that is also a big drop in DPS ATM.

    Bosmer
    Bosmer have great sustain, probably joint 2nd or 3rd on the damage scale (like 1-2k max difference between bosmer and redguard).

    Can cross nicely between PvE and PvP.

    Reduced fall damage is a life saver... literally.

    For PvP, wood elf hands down.

    That 21% Stam regen is a huge help and you need to stack stam regen on stamblade in PvP (unless you want to Hank, then go khajit).

    Bosmer, huh? Interesting. I expected people to pick Redguard for the max deeps. Never thought about Wood Elf crossing into PvP better.

    Wood Elf is 6% stamina, yeah?

    Redguard have the largest stamina pool, paired with stamina recovery, and unique stamina restore on melee attacks. This not only gives them the best dps, but also the best sustain of any stamina class, especially when you throw Nightblades' Leeching Strikes into the mix. Khajiit does just about as much dmg as a redguard because of weapon critical, but khajiit have extremely low sustain, which is very important.

    How about if I intend to do both PvE and PvP? Still Redguard?

    For PvP, I'd also say yes. Though some do seem to prefer Orc for utility passives.
