Want to build a new Orc, what class should it be?

Looking for a bit of inspiration. I want to build a new Orc character, focused on speed and health regen. Mainly for battlegrounds. What class should I go for?

I already have stam and mag chars for every class, so I know them all. That makes it even harder to decide. Flavor-wise DK and Warden fit best. But which class offers the best skills and passives to fully bring out that theme of a fast runner with extremely high natural health regen? (Thinking of Orgnum's Scales and Troll King)

    Sorc

    Saw a recent build by FengRush, he ran a StamSorc Orc as well. But why do you recommend sorc? Which skills complement the speed + health regen idea?

    One of Stam Sorcs main ability, Lightning Forn or whatever it’s called gives you minor expedition. Plus medium armor gives speed boost which = very fast

    Orc and DK passives go together very well.

    Hurricane gives minor expedition, major resistances and an aoe dot. Great when paired with crit surge. As for hp regen, slot any daedric summoning ability (bound arraments and/or storm atro) you get 20% hp and stam regen (also 8% max stam and 11% la damage for arraments along with block mitigation when active)

    Major expedition is easily aquired by dodging with a bow or casting rapids/quick cloak. Potions were nerfed and now give 15.7 seconds of major expediton

    Wait till next patch when all races will get severly beaten by the nerfbat (all to pay for CP system powercreep) so you don't have to spend a lot of money race changing and re-speccing.

    But for orcs
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    In terms of survivability in general, yes. But in terms of speed? How does the dk buff speed?

    Orc Sorc... It even rhymes.

    Troll King, Steed mundus, Bee Keeper, 7th Legion.

    Keep Surge and Hurricane up so you always have a heal going to proc Troll King.
    Playing since beta...

    Are there any class passives that buff health regen? Warden has some passive that lead to an overall health increase and they have the speed buffs from wings. DKs get all around resource return from ults and synergize very well with heavy armor, but DKs are not a mobile class. In terms of health regen I think you need to pull that from armor sets and the speed can come from class abilities/passives. Probably stamina warden will be your best bet in this particular theme.

    If you slot a daedric summoning ability such as storm atro or bound arraments, you get 20% hp and stam regen for sorc. Nb gets 15% for free. Warden gets 12% mag and stam regen. for slotting an animal companion ability. Dk gets hp regen for each draconic power ability

    Right, just looked those up it’s been a while since I was on my Stam sorc. DK is still a slow AF class, I guess Stam sorc fits the best, but imo Stam sorc is good in a group only, unless you have master DW. You can play it solo for sure, but it’s really hard to apply enough pressure against an equally skilled player on almost any other class. It’s okay for noob farming. Warden out performs Stam sorc by a long ways rn.

    No more for free than hurricane, hardened armor, ice fortress etc for major resists.

    What makes Warden so much better at the moment though? I have a stam warden and I’m not feeling the power yet. So I guess my build isn’t good enough yet.

    Lore wise Orcs are not good at magicka things so it wont be really BiS for magicka classes from what i assume.

    Maybe some niche builds can utilize them.
