Race For Stam Sorc?

Rerolling Stam Sorc probably. Not necessarily because of the shield nerf that's coming, but that has pushed me in that direction.

So what should I be? I was thinking Orc but I heard the sprint passive isn't that great because you can already hit the speed cap without it.

Khajiit maybe? The health regen would combo well with Troll King for trolliness, and the crit would combo well with Crit Surge.

    what's been nerfed to them? tried PTS and see what's got nerfed? maybe they increased duration but added cap to damageshields, because i dont think they would nerf it too much as it's already nerfed to the bottom. I play stamina so im not here to defend anything, but just curious what's got changed.

    We don't know yet, but no one has any faith in ZOS to make proper nerfs and buffs.

    And given their track record, no one should.

    Redguard
    Redguard for pve, sustain is the best and dmg is great with 10% max stam. Will work well for pvp too, just not necessarily better than orc.

    Orc seems like it was designed for stam sorc pvp, everything about the passives lines up nicely. Max stam/hp, healing received and health recovery synergize well with troll king, more so than what you said about khajiit, 4% melee dmg, increased sprint speed and lowered cost is nice for a speedy stam sorc too.

    I wouldn't really use orc for pve though, so unless you plan on making 2 stam sorcs, I'd stick to Redguard for pvp and pve purposes.

    I don't really like any of the other options, the 8% crit isn't needed, crit surge is guaranteed to get a crit with every aoe you have running once a second with at least 40% crit. Bosmer is worse off and imperial is okay for max stats. I'd take the sustain any day for pve though. Sustain = dps.

    stam sorcs needs speed - racial passives aside - I do not believe there is another race that appears to be moving faster than a bosmer...

    Redguard
    I want to say Khajiit, cause I have a Khajiit, but if you care about the best possible stats, I think Redguard is best. You're gonna want that extra Stam and Stam Recovery you get from Racials.

    Honestly the 20% Health Recovery is nothing if you don't invest in it elsewhere first. Obviously 20% of a low number is still low, and higher Stam Recovery is more important, since if you can keep your skills going you'll get all the Healing you need from Crit Surge.

    Troll King set offers healing in the form of health regen. Racials synergize with this quite well, actually.

    Argonian. With the racial passives and Dark Deal, you can wear all damage sets, have a ton of resources, can be tanky as s***, and be very fast.

    Just for PvP I would say Khajiit. Especially if you use artaeum broth blabla and trollking.
    However, the difference between redguard, orc and khajiit is not that huge. You can perform well (or bad) on all three.

    @Valrien you really want to play stam sorc? I thought it wasnt a class? +_+

    But really, i wouldn't read to much into what zos said about shields. Just wait and see before you make your plans. Imho they shouldn't touch damage shields, just maybe tweak healing ward a bit. The lower health you get someone the bigger healing ward tick they get. Most of the time they just heal to full if you cant get to them and bust the shield in time. Esp with the new black rose resto coming out.. So if anything they should try to work on that, but overall damage shields are fine.

    I know its scary when zos tries to work on something but at least wait to see what it actually is first.

    Also orc is the only choice for a stam sorc if you want to do everything on it. Stam sorc has no healing passives and orc provides a little bit. Also the speed goes well with major and minor expedition. Also melee damage, stamina, and health. Just a solid race. But i must admit, ive been wanting to try nord lately just for the damage reduction. And i know redgaurd and khajiits are good too but i think orc is the best bet.

    You have to play to your strengths... A khajiit stamsorc needs different equipment then a redguard... I'll always use trollking on a khajiit or Orc but on redguard or Imperial I'd probably go bloodspawn. (for example)
