    They shouldnt be.

    The other races just need buffs, the Argonian passives make sense lore wise. Genetically they are incredible and their racial passives show it.

    Argonians should really just be the bar for everyone else imo no need to bring them down

    If 1/10 races is OP, the correct approach is to adjust the OP race, not buff the 9 others. The 'buff everything else' approach to game balance is nonsensical and only results in a faster rate of power creep.

    Yeah... IF the other 9 are weak... which they’re not.

    Are all very good at what they specialise in.

    Argonian is fine as it is. Any changes should be made to possibly improve a couple of other races. Argonian was a horrible race for a long time. It still requires item consumption which was not my suggestion but its what they chose. I personally would have given Argonians high regeneration across the board. They only need to buff a couple of other races and not nerf Argonian. If they nerf argonian I want to see Altmers have their Max magicka nerfed and Redguards have their Max stamina nerfed. Damage dealers need to stop ruining the game for tanks.

    I'm not arguing that Argonians are or are not OP. I'm just being critical of the notion that exists that a game should/can be balanced by buffing everything else to match what may be OP.

    their racials should be removed because they are not a real race. they should also take bonus damage from dunmer.

    Nah, they should have a passive called "rage of oppression" that lets them inflict extra damage TO Dunmer.

    ZOS will most likely (hopefully)give with one hand and take some with the other.

    I think they will increase the max magicka Argonians receive to 5 or 6 percent, increased from 3 percent and then reduce the resourceful passive by about 800-1000.

    1. If Argonians resourceful gets nerfed so the Redguards adrenaline rush should be.
    2. While you're so concerned about races balance and want "adjustments" you better prepare those race change tickets for yourself. This is what ZOS wants, they will never balance races, they will just shift meta from one race to another in the name of the holy balance so we all will be forced to buy those darn tickets.

    ZOS proven many times they are unable or unwilling to do things right, they leave more things broken than fixed with each patch.

    When players are afraid of next update and they are most excited because of bugs fixing from previous updates, something is seriously bad.
    I'm done with this game because of ZOS pushing us into Vengeance, because they don't know how to fix Cyrodiil.

    Anyone who thinks argonian shouldn’t be nerfed probably plays as an argonian.

    #1 race for Healers. #1 race for Tanks. Most common race in PvP. The race is overperforming.

    Remember when Argonian was the biggest trash race and the only reason running it was some niche tank build or just lore reasons? People do seem to have short memory.

    Sure, it wouldn't hurt too bad if they removed like 1000 resources from resourceful gain, but increase the max magicka then. Don't just gut the class. It's not like other classes are much worse, look at Redguard and Altmer for example.

    Buff the weak races instead like Breton and make them more on par with Argonian.

    I really don't get this rage about argonians. They have worse regen of their primary stat (magicka or stamina) than some other races, and they have to continually pay (consume potions) to even get any benefit at all, whereas other races get their regen bonus for free.

    4260 stamina when i drink a potion on my argonian, thats the equivalent of 189 stam regen if i gulp potions on cooldown.

    On my redguard NB, i get 792 stamina after a melee attack(so free) every 5 seconds, thats the equivalent of 317 stam regen. Then, i get a 9% stamina regen bonus on top of that.

    The only thing an argonian is better at is the secondary-stat regen(since he gets magicka as well). But if a stamina toon is out of stamina, its dead.

    Probably. Anything just decent in this game get's destroyed. Argonains are a good race, not op, but solid so yes they will be smashed by the nerf hammer, just like everything else. People complain too much.

    There will be no buffing, dont get excited there. ZOS has their way of balancing. It means most races get nerfed and maybe some like Nords, Orcs buffed slightly. Read their U21 post.

    The problem is that some players hate 'tanky' races. Those players need to go straight to oblivion and stay there.

    The theoretical stat pool per second Regen is meaningless in PvP. It’s what you can actually do with that renewed pool in a reasonable time frame. Argonian excels because a natural action - consuming a potion, which you would do anyway - comes with a bonus attached that either allows you to survive or to finish your opponent in a tight spot. Also, you can simply chug cheap dropped potions.

    Now, for PvE, I can buy the argument of per second Regen because of the nature of rotations. You have windows of 8 seconds or more where you do something. And that’s a time frame where you can actually accumulate meaningful resources again.

    I’d expect a slight nerf to the lizards. And Nords need some good stuff, Khajiit and Imperial could see buffs as well.

    @Sharee , I'm not supporting any nerfs, but from how I understand it, that argonian passive is valuable because it gives resources much easier than Adrenaline Rush (which is also powerful for stamina, no wonder redguars are meta too). Plus potion cooldown reduction glyphs further empower that passive, and tanks can drink potions while blocking and having effectively zero regen otherwise.

    Isnt dunmer used more than altmer because most players like that 3% more fire damage along with larger stamina pools? I use altmer purely for the 2% more frost damage than dunmer. Otherwise i would be a dunmer.
