My hopes for racial passive changes

Best case scenario would be magicka and stam options for every race. they don't need to be the same options as long as theyre all good for something related to both types of builds.

Worst case would be big nerfs in which case race would make even LESS of a difference and that would make me happy too! I want to play the races I want, I dont like the developers being racist towards my playstyle.
Playing your character the way your character should play is all that matters. Play as well as you can but never betray the character. Doing so would make playing an mmoRPG pointless.

    That's a cool dream. Like Khajiits have a Spell Critical too. it would be very interesting to have a khajiit mage

    A stam and magicka option to choose from for each race would be cool.

    That would be nice however I think they plan more along the lines of making passives designated to roles so if you want to play as a tank, you will get 3 unique passives and so on for each role.

    IMO and probably not popular but if they want to make classes more balanced than they should remove all passives that give a 10% increase into an attribute and make the increase into attributes available thru CP to allow for players to not have 3 wasted passives because you wanted to play a Breton Stam Warden etc.

    The only best scenario is if they would buff Nords and not touch anything else.


    I don't want to suffer as a tank or healer because some DPS min - maxer is forcing every race changes so that they can have better DPS...
    40K DPS ! That is great ! But wait.. You can do 50K DPS ?! No, how did you do that ?? Om my... you can do 60K DPS ?! That is impossible ! !
    WHAT ? You can do 70L DPS ???? NO WAY... !

    I am sick of it. It seems that it shows up in almost every topic on this forums. DPS, DPS, DPS ! Just like it was the only thing that there is. IMHO we should keep every role on equal level of importance. Because it simply looks like the only one with numbers or "points" is being favoured.

    Yeah.. that is kinda weird. Is that the reason ? Numbers ? So if we add something like DBPS (Damage Blocked Per Second) for tanks or DHPS (Damage Healed Per Second) for healers the 2 other roles will become more popular ? Is that it ?

    I am seriously hoping they’re gonna do the magicka/stamina variations for the races. People won’t have to be stuck to 1 or 2 races to be efficient.

    Any race can play any class efficiently currently, just a few races are considered minmaxed.

    I use a breton for my magplar, I still outparse altmers and dunmers templars I meet.

    - vAA HM - vHRC HM - vSO HM - vMoL HM - vHoF HM - vAS HM - vCR HM -

    Khajiit did have +10% critical damage modifier that applied to spells at launch.

    I wish tanks and healers could do more dps in this game especially tanks, its one reason why I love tanking in some other games but hate it in ESO.

    But its also bad to be forced to play certain races and build cookie cutter to do decent dps, then theres no point to even having a build system if you have to build a certain way regardless.
    Playing your character the way your character should play is all that matters. Play as well as you can but never betray the character. Doing so would make playing an mmoRPG pointless.

    I agree with the bold, just not how it is achieved in eso. I'd rather the healer restore resources and health, and the tank make everyone tougher, then have the dps worry about eliminating enemies.

    Instead we have healers giving dps damag, tanks weakening enemies to let the dps do more damage (or even giving them damage wearing two medium or one light armor set), and dps doing damage.

    So when you hear people say "I'm tired of nothing but damage", they *might* be asking for that.

    Hopefully racial passives are the start of a shift from the focus on damage.

    Would be neat to have 10 or so different racial passives and be allowed to pick 3 out of the entire bunch to tailor your playstyle.
