    I have 4 wardens 1 breton 1 argonian and 2 khajiit. I chose them because I wanted then. So they are the best just because.

    Khajiit are always the best race for anything.
    PS4 / NA
    M'asad - Khajiit Nightblade - Healer
    Pakhet - Khajiit Dragonknight - Tank
    Raksha - Khajiit Sorcerer - Stamina DPS
    Bastet - Khajiit Templar - Healer
    Leonin - Khajiit Warden - Tank

    Whatever race you want to play.

    Seriously the only time racial passive make a huge difference is at end game, trials leaderboard guilds. That’s like 1 or 2% of the game and last time I checked, they aren’t running wardens.

    Run what you want... you can pull 30kdps with a nord magden, which is fine to do anything expect the before mentioned material.

    Play whatever you want, quit listening to the streamers and mid maxing for everything.

    Mid maxing... I like that as a casual concept :)

    In pve, yeh, in PvP though it matters a lot more.

    Argonian for instance is great because of health and potion passives. Both incredibly useful. Healing too as that's reduced in PvP so any help to that is good.

    Orc has 10% more movement speed which is useful for open world PvP.

    Regen passives on classes make a difference as you stack regen a lot more.

    For stamblades, wood elves and khajit get bonus damage from stealth, which is relevant for PvP.

    So for PvP race does play a big factor and often you'll need to adapt a build around it.

    Lets hear it.

    Ok.. A race between a warden and a sorc to name the fastest toon (on foot) in ESO; can be stam or mag of your choice. The only skill allowed is any of the morph of Falcon Swiftness for the warden and Boundless Storm or Hurricane for the sorc and one healing ability for each. No mount; this a foot race, and you can't use Rapid; however, you can use sprint. Use any map zone; say Vvardenfell. Start at the outer Vivic City Wayshrine, follow westward and have to hit every single Wayshrine all around the map. The finish line is the the inner Vivic City wayshrine. Place somebody at each wayshrine to record that the racers/participants have hit it. Along the way, you are not allowed to attack any adds or mobs, but can heal self if get attacked. Plus, you don't want to engage any as that would slow you down. The winner is crowned Fastest toon of ESO and probable some monetary/gold amount prize. Now, go race. Have fun..

    High elf for magic Redguard for stamina. Most useful passives.

    This is why ESO's racial passive system is total uninspired crap.

    Let us spec into CHARACTER passives like morphs on abilities and keep the non-combat related things like exra bow experience rate and such as the only race-specific stats.

    The current system is so anti-RP that it borders on shameful.

    But for healing and tanking it is the argonian.

    I'm really debating on what to make my Warden; I currently am planning on making a Warden and a DK soonish. I know I want one of them to be a Dunmer (because along with Orcs they're my favourite and for some reason I don't have a Dunmer character atm) and the other probably a Argonian. But I dunno which way around. >.<

    Any lore perspectives on this incredibly important decision? :P

    From a logical perspective, dk's mostly do fire damage, so the dummer would be better.

    What’s the point of debating this when Zos have said they are nerfing the racial passives to make every race the same as the weakest race (Zos logic)

    Nords are the best choice can’t beat a drunk warden taking all the hits

    I wish they would give the Nords some love in the next major patches coming soon. They fit soo well with the Ice Warden theme.

    My Warden's are all Altmers. They're my favorite race to play so almost all of my characters are Altmer. Plus I prefer to play only magicka builds so it works out.

    Is that confirmed anywhere? Because that is the most lame and unsatisfying (not to mention lazy) route they could have possibly gone to resolve the issue.

    Why not just let us SPEC into passives? It would add the most RP to a game that claims to be an RPG.

    If you are going to neuter them to the ground, WHY HAVE THEM?

    This is the debate at the moment on what they are going to do, it’s already a fact that Zos can’t balance across the board they only know how to hit with a hammer

    They have said they are changing the racial passives in the next update to make the race viable for each build tank dd healer so at a guess as it’s not really known what they will do yet they will change the tiers so you can select stam magicka or health on tier 1 then something like damage regen or blocking on tier 2 then something damage healer or tank related on tier 3 but like I say this is just guess work from me we just don’t know what they are going to do yet, just that they are changing them and they only know how to change things one way

    Edited to fix grammar lol

    Also I would like to see the passive for the main racial do something different like nords 2 handed passive would reduce 2 handed skills and increase 2 handed skills damage by like 3% and the same for the other races
