    i made an excel sheet where i implemented these into a standard build for stamina and magicka DDs in PvE. Magicka build was (as far as i remember) Zaan, Siroria and Sorrow/Spell Strategist, while the stamina version uses Relequen+Advancing Yokeda+Velidreth.
    Formula is the same as above.

    Here's the comparison of effective spell power and weapon power:

    7rv9hZc.jpg

    Here, altmer comes out as the clear winner, and for stamina, dunmer puts out the highest damage. This does not yet factor in sustain components. In order to do so, I introduced a ranking system that basically just ranks races based on damage and sustain with equal weights. The weights can ofc be adjusted, so if sustain is more important to you, the ranks will change accordingly.

    5qtz0N3.jpg

    With equal weights, altmer still comes out on top, but not by much. Shifting the weights towards sustain more and more makes breton the best choice.

    Shifting the weights to 30% sustain and 70% damage yields the following:

    4qwYmTQ.jpg

    And the other way around:

    2feAwG0.jpg

    It all depends on what you need, and the gaps are not as cear and big as many make them seem.

    Your charts show a glaring issue in terms of damage output right now. Argonians and Nords are basically at the bottom when it comes to DPS, and the only thing Argonians have for them in terms of Magicka is their sustain, and even then that is just meh.

    Basically, the gaps are still too high.

    Argonians used to be good in terms of utility, and these nerfs have brought their utility down to be more on par with other races, but their damage output still needs a buff. I've posted my own suggestions on page 10 of this thread, but the gist of it is that Argonians can afford to have more damage-oriented passives without affecting their utility. Nords too.

    It should be 1 race change token per character, period.

    Name/race change, please.

    Otherwise, I'd settle for something less extreme than you're suggesting. E.g., 1 free immediately, a few more free as log-in rewards, and a discount of AT LEAST 50% at buying more from the Crown Store. (Note: That discount has to be DEEP or there will be a lot of anger.)

    It's not too bad, i don;t really like flat max stam/mag values, but the biggest problem is that now, dark elf which was the best class for mag dk, is no more, and anyone who used dark elf for fire builds, is now better off using high elf.

    Honestly I think the changes are thoughtful and on point. I’m pleasantly surprised.
    My only thought is giving 1k resources to replace a 9% buff isn’t really equivalent. If you move that from 1k to 2k and the 2k to 3k it’s be really in line

    They're obviously, deliberately nerfing the 9/10/12% max stat bonuses.

    @ZOS_Gilliam awesome first majorly big post :) Thanks! Good to see there is a step in the right direction and i'm looking forward to maybe seeing a few more Nords! Please don't just consider 'on paper' balancing - some things are simply not available as a minor effect on armour, and that some scale with glyphs (for example the argonian passive should probably have a 45s cooldown or scale to when a potion was last chugged.)

    Bosmer's getting stealth detect seems like a completely useless passive, there is almost no instance where I think I run into stealthed players these days other than nightblades (which stealth detect doesn't matter). I would rather see more damage to stealthed enemies, or something that would actually be useful in combat. I know lore is important, but don't have it determine ingame buffs/usefulness of the race. Also why does the speed only last 3 seconds and not 4 like the bow hasty retreat passive, it would make more sense to have these overlap.

    otherwise great to see that the game isn't just
    stam build ---> orc
    mag/tank/stam ---> argonian

    side note i'm a pvp player, but i'm pretty sure stealth detect has no place in pve aswell.

    As in current passives in pve it at least give ability to steal everything, now that's completely useless passive. Khajiits and dunmer are put to "hybrid" roles which are out of meta.. well, maybe in PVP some viable hybrid can be builded, but in PVE cats and dark elves are now far behind altmer and redguard which were directly buffed.

    If there's one thing that NOBODY thought needed a nerf, it's Bosmers' thieving abilities. This nerf benefits nobody, and hurts many.

    As far as max stats go ...

    Altmer: 2000 M
    Argonian: 1000 M, 1000 H
    Bosmer: 2000 S
    Breton: 2000 M
    Dunmer: 600 H, 1250 M, 1250 S
    Imperial: 2000 H, 2000 S
    Khajiit: 750 H, 750 M, 750 S
    Nord: 1000 H, 1500 S
    Orc: 500 H, 500 S <----!?
    Redguard: 2000 S

    Orcs are such an extreme outlier in total stat bonuses, I don't see how any of their other bonuses justify this. The next lowest stat bonuses are the ones with 2000 (Altmer, Argonian, Bosmer, Breton, Redguard), then 2250 (Khajiit), 2500 (Nord), 3100 (Dunmer) and 4000 (Imperial).

    Can we get these at least increased to 1000 H/S?

    Orcs get 258 weapon damage to go with that. They are fine.

    The "Spell Recharge" passive seems a little bit random, especially since it is so different from similar passives of other classes - what is the stamina part even doing there? Altmers are all about magic! The tooltip is also ambiguous. Is the effect based on the higher maximum of the 2 resources pools or on the higher current amount when the ability is activated? If it the former, then there is absolutely no reason for the stamina component as nobody is playing a stamina altmer ... just look at the rest of the passives.

    The regen amounts to 191.6 magicka recovery (if you manage to proc the passive on cooldown). In order to get the same amount from the current 9% passive you'd need 2129.6 magicka regen (excluding the 9% bonus), which I doubt most people have. However, bringing this passive more in line with those of other racer would be nice.

    My suggestion: remove the stamina component and bring the magicka regen in line with similar passives of other races.

    Sustain-wise, the Altmer cannot compete with the Breton, not even closely. At an average magicka consumption of 3000 per second the Breton get a cost reduction of 210 per second, which amounts to 420 less magicka used every 2 seconds. Because cost reduction is 25% more effective than resource pool expansion, the 420 saved magicka per 2 seconds are equivalent to a magicka regeneration of 525. Add to that the 100 magicka regeneration Bretons get from the "Spell Resistance" passive and Bretons end up with a passive magicka regeneration gain of 625, which is significantly higher than the 191 Altmers get.

    The fact that you probably won't be using a class ability on the passives cooldown on many builds will only exacerbate this disparity!

    As for the damage reduction, it seems that one is geared towards templars with their jesus beam and jabs.

    The nerf to "Gift of Magnus" stings though! That's a 1.5k - 2k max magicka loss, which will hurt sorcs the most since they rely on max magicka for their shields.

    Decided to blow 27k gold to do a real world test on my Altmer comparing the flat value changes to just Gift of Magnus ->> New Syrabane's Boon Passive. These tests were done wearing the exact same gear (All light, Earthgore Monster Set, Spell Power Cure Body, and Moondancer Jewelry and Moondancer Fire Staff) and capped CP points applied (35 Elfborn, 75 Elemental Expert, 10 Spell Erosion, 41 Staff Expert, 34 Master at Arms, 75 Thaumaturge, 30 Ironclad, 20 spell shield, 30 light armor focus, 30 thick skinned, 75 hardy, 75 elemental defender, 10 bastion, 35 warlord, 45 sprinter, 75 arcanist, 20 tumbling, 20 shadow ward).


    CP Magicka with 3/3 Gift of Magnus 10 Percent Magicka Increase Passive

    34796

    CP Magicka with 0/3 Gift of Magnus 10 Percent Magicka Increase Passive

    31689


    So in total = 3107 Magicka is gained from JUST that passive wearing the exact same gear and exact same CP setup.


    Non CP Magicka without 3/3 Gift of Magnus 10 Percent Magicka Increase Passive

    29592

    Non CP Magicka with 0/3 Gift of MAgnus 10 Percent Magicka Increase Passive

    26950



    So in total = 2642 Magicka is gained from JUST that passive in non cp campaign wearing the exact same gear.


    From what I can tell, in no way you slice it be it CP or non CP, that flat 2000 Magicka change that is coming for Altmer is a nerf. Not a monstrously big one, but still a nerf.

    Just wanted to put this test out there for anyone who hasn't done it yet or doesn't want to spend the money to test things out.

    For me it's even worse. I gain 4213 Magicka from Gift of Magnus in Cyrodiil pvp. In pve and IC it will be so much more.
    I would need over 100% magicka amplify if I wanted to get compareable numbers and nobody has that. I also compared the 4% elemental damage to 258 spell damage with all buffs applied.

    Force pulse deals 45 more damage with 258 SD as opposed to 4% elemental damage. Due to the 2k magicka that I will loose, it will do even less than what it does now.

    And they say that flat numbers portrait a BUFF in MANY cases ? Darling, it does not do that in any case. Maybe for people in white gear, probably not even then.
    Auri-El is my lord,
    Trinimac is my shield,

    Very good changes. Thank you Devs. I do think a slight tweak for bretons is still needed. Raise the spell resistance, the reason being is the high elf can now channel jabs or beam and spam a constant 5 percent damage reduction. To keep the breton as a heartier class against spells it needs raised. Otherwise what you have now is the high elf, in reality, is better against spell damage.

    Nice. So you nerf Nords *even* more, by changing the previous "all-round" 6% into resistance? Dunno about the ulti generation, might just be pessimistic - every 10 seconds? Well that's not much, certainly not in PVP. Sure it might be good for a TANK, but do we really want to push Nords into even more niche tanking role? They were not best at it to start with, so why force them to stay there?

    And Redguard... Ffs., you *increase* what made these meta? Why do you want ever stamina DD to be Redguard? Why?

    And... You *decreased* Khajiit stamina recovery to literally... NOTHING? Great. You just made Khajiit impossible to use for competitive damage dealing, really - this makes them good for nothing at all, they were already struggling with stamina recovery; 75 recovery? Really? What are they supposed to be used for? Pickpocketing alone? Redguard was already the "button masher handicapped" choice over Khajiit. Khajiit will now have the vigor of a 50 year old obese chain smoker.

    With these changes - there's no such thing as a serious end game Khajiit DD anymore. Every stamina damage dealer HAS to be Redguard or gtfo. Khajiit is out, Bosmer is out - only remotely viable alternative is now Orc. I don't know, but I'm getting a weird feeling this some kind of "real world" political correctness thing? Everyone needs to be a Redguard. Seriously, it's ridiculous. Pathetic.

    Ok.
    Nords are literally OP buffed. 4k resistance of EACH? Almost STATIC minor heroism is a nerf to you - HUH?
    Khajiit just got 8% spell and weapon crit - the most desirable stat in a PVE DPS kit and yet you say they have 0 chance of being competitive - HUH?

    Hahaha.... Seriously...

    You get your "heroism" when you take damage, every ten seconds at that. In PVP, that's pretty much useless, especially since they will now be even worse in PVP. Since they will have less health AND stamina, AND health recovery, nobody will use them anyway - because this was exactly why we used them in PVP, if we did. The old typical PVP Nord with +40k Stamina, high Health/Health recovery is now out the window, so tell me how we are supposed to make use of that "heroism" you speak of. We can't be the Fury/Seventh Legion wearing guys taking all the beating anymore, they will be as weak and useless as us modern day Swedes, a pale shadow of what once was, quite literally.

    3960 = 6% reduction, this now doesn't apply to bleed or oblivion damage. So please keep telling me how wonderfully buffed they are.

    Literally, maybe you just zerg in PvP. Which is fine, I don’t care. But maybe that’s why you don’t understand my POV.

    The reason I say this is because “when you take damage” and “PvP” are nearly interchangeable terms to me, whereas you seem to feel the need to act like they’re so incredibly different. If I’m in PvP, I’m transporting or I’m taking damage, simple as that. People are attacking me and I am attacking people. The only scenario I can imagine someone wouldn’t see it this way is if they were the aggressor, larger group, zerging down a smaller group who literally can’t do damage to them because they’re being trampled.

    “When you take damage” should very easily mean it procs on cooldown every time and synergize incredibly well with, oh idk- BATTLE ROAR. Bloodspawn. Decisive. Werewolf hide, fury, seventh legion, take your pick. These changes to nord will literally push it to not only good or great but literally best in slot. Atleast in regards to stam dk, it is going to be very hard to top.

    You’re acting like nords damage mitigation got gutted so profoundly that they’re just going to be fairies who float around and die now. Meanwhile, in every discord and competitive PvP environment I look, everyone’s eyeballing that nord as their next ticket to OP ROFLSTOMP.

    The damage mit % = resistance pound for pound. So the only thing we’re talking about here is bleeds. The mit % decreased them and new passive will not. But even with that, that current mit % passive is broken and it’s well known and accepted that it stacks improperly at the disadvantage of the nord.

    And while bleeds are strong, an 8% damage mitigation to them being lost does not BY ANY MEANS gut this play style. If you think that a nord heavy armor stam dk in blood spawn/fury/7th with all those healing, tanking and constant ulti gain passives is going to be anything short of an absolute juggernaut, maybe refer to the very first sentence of this post as to why.

    That ultimate generation is like what, maximum 30 over one MINUTE? Most of my fights are over well before that, and if they ain't another 30 ulti/minute won't change that. Then it's not about SPAMMING ultimate like some "zergling", but timing it, alright?
    This, in exchange for removal of [snip] 20% health recovery? Yeah, I'm really starting who's the real "zergling" here. I use two ultimates, Empowering Sweep and Spell Wall on my Stamplar and they are pretty cheap, I'm really not like entirely dependent on them. Sweep is nice when I get jumped by other 10 brave solo players at the same time, and Spell Wall is fine when being chased by such like, trying to find a few seconds respite. So, it's mostly for solo survival, not "group play". I'm not one of those guys rushing people with Dawnbreaker, with friends using Subassaults, Permafrost and Steel Tornado. I just ain't. I ideally fight 1-3 people with said toon.

    For my at the very least, it's nothing but bad. I'm at some 30k resistances buffed with this one anyway, and I'm far better off with another 6% 3960, that also mitigates niceties such as bleed builds and Oblivion damage (wanna take 6% more Sload's damage, anyone?). But that's just me. I take so damn much damage there, in the middle of my humongous EP zerg, while I take damage, and get healed by 12 healers to build Ultimate to group drop at the given command. I surely do, sire.

    I guess we can agree to disagree. I'm not a complete novice here, I can clearly see that my playstyle, will be affected negatively.

    Any PVP build stacking regen on bosmer will now receive at minimum 490 regen. To match that (on live) one has to stack 2333 raw regen so fully buffed run over 4k regen build.

    I just don’t get why you guys are trying to reinvent the wheel with these changes. You didn’t need to take anything away from our beloved characters, small tweaks to the numbers over a series of monitored updates would have more than sufficed.

    Now wood elves will have these unexciting passives for the next two years until you decide to smash everything and change it again.

    I’m just not enthused about this and I know nothing I say will have any influence over the balance direction so I won’t even bother making suggestions. All I can say is that if I wasn’t so attached to my wood elves I’d delete them after seeing this news, that’s how much of a let down it is.

    Wood elves are the big fiasco here, or one of them. A lot of us are attached to our Bosmers, so making the race useless will get LOTS of people upset.

    Funny how some people defend it and bring up statistics which are flawed.

    Try to do the math with recovery. They want diversity and play as you want right? Yet, they nerf some aspects and builds massively.

    Again, they try to fix something that isn't (respectively only slightly) broken.

    Fancy explaining why statistics are flawed? The devs have seen the ones i posted... I dont claim for everything to be 100% accurate to the last decimal, but in terms of comparison, what i posted should do the trick.

    Khajiit, Orc and Argonian new passives need to be tweaked, Orc having only +500 Stam +500 Health and Khajiit having +750 in all 3 seems too few compared to others....also the total immunity should be reduced from 100% to 50% because Argonians will shrug Nightblades, Bosmers will laugh at stam DKs and Dunmers will basically feel nothing from Mag DKs (which are pretty awful)

    The only 1 Token its a swindle too, also being only race instead race and name, because most of us tie name to the race we chose to give it more identity to our character

    Khajiit, Orc and Argonian new passives need to be tweaked, Orc having only +500 Stam +500 Health and Khajiit having +750 in all 3 seems too few compared to others....also the total immunity should be reduced from 100% to 50% because Argonians will shrug Nightblades, Bosmers will laugh at stam DKs and Dunmers will basically feel nothing from Mag DKs (which are pretty awful)

    The only 1 Token its a swindle too, also being only race instead race and name, because most of us tie name to the race we chose to give it more identity to our character

    Immunitites are to status effects (those small dots from poison, fire or the major defile debuff along the 300dmg hit from disease). They will feel 99% of the disease/poison/fire damage...

    I’m confused for Breton. What am I supposed to excel at? It’s magic based but you are still outdamaged by high elves.

    We get a max magicka nerf. And loose 2000 spell resistance for only 100 more recovery. With only a 4percent increase to reduced cost. Running out of magicka was never even really a issue. This just decreases magicka tanking for us too doesn’t it?

    I don’t see what we are supposed to be useful for except to still being second to everything else. Also none of the racial passives really screams “yeah being a Breton is awesome” like the other races. It’s like we got the last pick of racial passives 🙁

    No free race change tokens? Every player should get at least 4 free race change tokens. Who the hell cares about free respec when you can to race change anyways.

    I am now currently considering my high elf to a dark elf or a breton. Glad the PTS will be next week so I will test which one of them should be my next race. I still consider my high elf to be better than the other two races but is best to test those changes in combat.
