I have a Khajiit stam nightblade. He does excellent damage, but doesn't have good stamina sustain, so he runs out of stamina fast. Really, every single race runs out of stamina fast except for Redguards and Bosmers (Wood Elves). I also have a Wood Elf stamina nightblade, and although her critical damage is a little lower, she doesn't run out of stamina even half as fast, so she can fight longer.

I actually love my kitty stamblade, but he's less fun in places like public dungeons where I have to pause between fights until my stamina gets back up. (I have the same problem trying to play an Imperial stam dragonknight.) At one time in the past year, ZOS decided that it would make the game more challenging if they destroyed stamina and magicka sustain. It doesn't make it more challenging ... it just makes fighting though mobs slower, which means less fun (for me, at least).

This is just my opinion, but Wood Elves and Redguards are the only races worth playing as stamina characters. You can play a Khajiit, just make sure you have all stamina enchantments on your armor, and all stamina jewelry, etc. Even then, your stamina sustain will still not be as good as a Redguard or Bosmer.

For PvE Khajiit is a very good choice for a stamblade. In PvP you're going to be using Cloak which guarantees a critical strike on your next attack which limits the effectiveness of the Carnage passive. They're not terrible though, the extra damage from stealth is nice but you can get the same passive from Woodelf with a lot more regen.

Just leveled him to 20 and wanted to try a little pvp but all stam nb builds i see are wood elf or redguard,why don't many people play khajits,are they a bad race for stam nbs?

I prefer woodelf best sustain hands down, and with vampirism it totals 31% extra recov sure slightly less crit and really i mean slightly, same obtainable base damage. It wins in the long run. More hits vs higher crits all day most people wear impen in pvp and pve dungeon/trials has crit nerfs on monster sets and other procs also.

Focus pen over crit especially pve.

This one of the things that make fail random groups with unexperienced players

I think the person made a decision by now given that this thread is almost a year old.

Yes, Khajiit makes a fine stamblade. Close enough to BiS to not sweat it, for sure!

We are the very best race for everything yes but especially this whatever it is.
