Everyone i know who is not a a sorcerer, night blade, or stamina DK have rerolled their characters to Argonian. Is there really a reason to create an Imperial or a Nord anymore other than role playing? Their passives are a joke compared to Argonians'. Am not a pro in the game, so I might be wrong, someone correct me please.

    Racial passives aren't nearly the be all, end all that people make them out to be.

    This is clearly a misinformation, since I have sorcerer, nightblade and stamina dragonknight that are argonians.

    Not true. Have you tried tripots on an argonian? it is basically resetting the fight. from low health, magicka, and stamina back to full in one second, couple that with infused potion cool down jewelry and you will have God mode.

    21 sec cool down with gold jewelry and potion enchant pretty much solves all sustain issues and lets you stack damage as well if you use immovable potions it is only down 11 secs

    I agree.
    The 50% swim speed passive is ridiculous.

    I'm hoping there's a rise in Argonian-only trial runs after Murkmire is released

    What? I still see a lot more Redguards and poopelves called Orsimers than my former slaves for stams. As far is PvE tanking goes, still see quite a few of Nord and Imperials. Not to mention, I still see Mer Templars instead of slave healers. Besides, as a Dunmer, I enjoy the 'company' these lizards give.

    Some people that say they are not elitist, still claim that for the most difficult veteran trials it's better to have an Altmer healer than an Argonian (or any other for that matter), because of the additional damage they provide. Maybe they are right, but I don't mind either way, everyone has their prferences and I have learned to live with it...

    Timer is 21 seconds. Cc immunity lasts for 10 correct? My math is coming up with 11, not 6

    Imperial Werewolves are ****ing scary.

    Nords Tamriel's trailer trash. It's been that way for awhile.

    But, Imperials are a legitimate choice for Stam DPS and tanks. They're a bit harder to run than Redguards or Argonians, but they do perform very well.

    With the same passives, Argonians were still thought to be third rate until... the great regen nerf patch.

    Still, the benefit isn't as great as people would have you believe. I'm certainly not going to use potion cool down enchants...

    I still see a lot of Redguard stamina builds and some Dunmer Magica DPS in addition to what you said. However there are probably half the races in this game that represent 5% of the players in top tier content.

    Argonians are best in slot healers and tanks due to superb resource management. I am not surprised that they are numerous in game atm.

    yes, Imperial is very nice for a DK tank for instance since it gives him access to higher health+stamina pool builds

    Well, my magplar healer is a Bosmer. My magsorc dps is a Bosmer. My bowbow stamsorc is a Bosmer. . . . See a pattern? Bosmer is BiS for cute. ;)

    Seriously, though my race choice is pure RP, each of those characters does great.

    Not to mention "stacking damage" after you just lost three jewelry damage enchants sounds funny.

    They aren't the be all, but if you don;t think some races are lacking enough compared to others to make an impact on competitive gameplay, you aren't paying attention.

    That was hardly attitude, merely stating a fact.

    I think Joy was very precise about what was stated.


    With regard to khajit magsorcs and whatever funky combo you can come up with, well yes, they can and do exist, which iss evident from the posts in this thread alone. However they are far from optimal if wanting to achieve the most from your character in a competitive sense.
