Magika Races

benoit_mmob16_ESO
After reading lot of forums, I found that High Elf, Dunner, Argonian and Breton are the Magika races.

My question is:

Which is the most versatile to be a healer and Dps?

Thank you

    Any of them really. Although Argonians have built in Healing boost. However, remember, Underhealing is not a thing in this game. My.main healer is an Altmer Templar, my back up healer is a Breton Sorcerer. They all do just fine.

    The biggest challenge to a healer is Resource Management.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I would add imperials to this list.

    if we are talking about PvE:
    Best DPS races imo: Highelf/Darkelf

    Imperials make good stamina dps, and tanks. Their racial passives do not contribute anything toward magic, but you can make anything viable in this game just not optimal.

    As others have said Argonian, Altmer, and Breton are the most recommended optimal races for healing, and dps. Dunmer is currently best for magicka fire focused dps, with the exception of some pet builds, but less good for healing.
